 antenna; short, scarcely reaching the base of the thorax, incrassate, second 

 joint shorter than the first, scarcely shorter than the third, fourth as long as 

 wide, five to ten strongly transverse, tenth joint about three fourths wider 

 than long, terminal joint elongate-oval, with a strongly marked annulation.
