 prominent and firmly united with a prolongation from the basal 

 article of the antenna. The outer maxillipeds extend far beyond the 

 front; merus rounded anteriorly, its outer angle obtuse and strongly 

 produced ; last two segments of palpus flattened and laminate. Abdo- 

 men of male narrow, third segment narrowing rapidly toward distal
