without pubescence. Face covered with a silky white dust and with 

 fairly abundant white thin pubescence which is almost same in length 

 on the whole surface, and which is intermixed with a very few similar 

 but brownish hairs at the upper and outer marginal parts of the 

 cheeks ; side-cheeks rather wide about two-thirds of the epistoma at the 

 broadest part, the upper-outer angle slightly tinged with a yellowish 

 dust ; epistoma about as long as wide, somewhat prominent ; jowls and 

 back of the head clothed with snow-white tomentum, the former rather 

 broad with numerous rather long whitish hairs which do not extend 

 up to the back of the head, while from them a fairly broad bare simi- 

 larly tomentose postocular rim extends right up to the vertical spice, 

 which when viewed from above is puffed out on the upper part of the 

 eyes to about one-quarter as much as the breadth of the frons ; behind 

 this bare rim there is a comparatively long black ciliation which (when 

 seen from in front) projects a little above the eyes, but below that part 

 there is only a short inconspicuous pale ciliation which is continued 

 downwards until it emerges into the long pubescence of jowls ; this 

 long black ciliation not extends to the occiput ; back of the head 

 slightly hollowed out, and with a very few fine whitish pubescerce 

 below. Eyes in death greenish black with two oblique dark bands, in 

 profile subroundish, a little higher than it is long, when seen from front 

 wider than depth ; the angle at the junction of the inner and lower 

 margins of each eye about 1 35 ° and consequently the eyes extending 

 much below the antennae ; eye-facets moderately minute, about same 

 in size. Antennae pale orange yellow, with third joint pale reddish 

 yellow, rather slender, slightly dusted with whitish ; first joint rather 

 stout, hardly three times as long as the length of the second, with 

 minute black bristle- like hairs which do not extend the under surfare 

 and vety narrow base, but at the apex of the under surface there is a 

 very few rather long paler hairs; second joint slightly produced for- 

 wards at the upper apex, with a circlet of very short black bristles 

 round the apical margin ; third joint (without style-like portion) consider-
