Head very deeply cleft in front, strongly birostrate ; eyes appearing 

 to be stalked because of this rostrate condition; antennae very thick 

 at base and increasing rostrate appearance; genae scarcely swollen 

 beneath antennal bases; third antennal segment distinctly thicker 

 than succeeding joints, longer than IV and V combined; total length 

 of antennae more than twice width of head. Thorax slightly arched. 

 Legs long, front pair longest; forefemora greatly enlarged in male 

 (female not known), and curved strongly; hind tibiae not spurred at 

 base, but distinctly swollen. Wings more than three times as long 

 as broad, acute at apex. 



Genitalia obscured in both cotypes. Male genitalia very small. 



Described from the two cotypes in the National Museum (together 

 with Riley's original description). One of the specimens is all 

 destroyed except the abdomen. Collected at Baldwin, Florida, by 

 E. A. Schwarz, March 1 1 , 1879, on ' ' low plants in the cypress swamps".
