 posterior margin semicircular; antennal fossae very long and deep; 



antennae rather long, last 

 segment sabsphericai with 

 deep notch on outside and 

 a conspicuous sensory pit ; 

 palpi extending beyond 

 margin of head, second 

 segment about twice as 

 long as first and longer 

 than broad. Prothorax 

 much narrower than the 

 head but broader than 

 long; its sides rounded, 

 and above near the middle 

 is a transverse row of 

 minute setae. Meso- and 

 metathorax completely 

 united into a single seg- 

 ment which is about as 

 broad as the head, and as 

 broad as long, and bears 

 dorsally two transverse 

 rows of minute setae. Ab- 

 domen about twice as long 

 as broad and posteriorly 

 bilobed; first segment 

 longest, except for the 

 modified last segment;

 ments except the last with 

 a transverse row of minute 

 dorsal setae near the pos- 

 terior margin and segments two and three each with a pair of long 

 lateral setae. Each posterior lobe of abdomen flattened, expanded 

 shelflike laterally beyond the lateral margin of the last segment, and 

 posteriorly into a long tuberclelike process ; lateral expansions each 

 with two conspicuous subequal setae situated on the posterior margin 

 and tuberclelike processes each with two terminal, subequal, narrow, 

 leaflike setae, and dorsally at its base a long seta fully twice as long as
