 mally enlarged; first joint rather short, slightly robust, cylindrical, 

 not enlarged toward apex, three-fifths as long as the third joint, 

 which is strongly arcuate, slender at base, and strongly clavate 

 toward apex; fourth joint one-half as long as the third, and globose; 

 fifth joint slightly longer than the fourth, and narrowly oblong; 

 following joint slender, cylindrical, and gradually diminishing in
