Male. Length, i mm. Antennae twice the length of the body^ 

 rather thickly haired, yellowish, the basal nodes of the flagellate seg-

 times the diameter, the basal enlargement subglobose, with a sparse 

 sub-basal whorl of long, stout setae and a well developed circumfilum, 

 the loops of the latter extending nearly to the base of the distal en-
