as long as its broadest part, broadest near the base and then looping 

 and gradually narrowed to a blunt top, covered with numerous rather 

 dense depressed black bristles almost all over the outside but the 

 extreme base quite bare and on the lower basal margin with some 

 slightly longer very thin veiy inconspicuous whitish hairs, the similar 

 but shorter pale pubescence sometimes about the outer basal part, while 

 the inner side is quite bare excepting about the tip with black bristles ; 

 basal joint small and narrow, about one-fourth as long as the second 

 joint, covered with numerous long whitish hairs, and on near the outer 

 tip there are some stout but short black bristly hairs. Antennae 

 yellowish brown, with the broad basal annulation of the third joint 

 reddish yellow and with the style-like portion blackish ; the basal joint 

 moderately thickened apically and hooked above over the base of the 

 second joint, covered with numerous short depressed black pubescence 

 almost all over the surface except on the underside nearly bare but 

 there are some pale fine though longer inconspicuous hairs and a very 

 few short black pubescence about the top ; second joint moderately 

 small, about a half as long as the basal one, less tomentose, the apex 

 narrowly and foiwardly produced above over the base of the third joint, 

 and near it with a complete circlet of short black bristles which on the 

 innerside more or less extend towards the base ; third joint longer than 

 the twice the length of the basal two joints together, with a very short 

 dorsal hump near the base, and with a very blunt inconspicuous angle 

 on the undermargin right below the dorsal hump, the hump and angle 

 both more or less crowned with some very tiny black bristles ; basal 

 annulation of the third joint very broad and about one and a half as 

 long as its broadest part, slightly darkened apically ; the style- like 

 portion wholly two-third as long as the broad basal annulation, with 

 the basal three annulations subquadrate somewhat transverse, of which 

 the middle one is shortest, while the apical conical annulation is slender 

 and about twice as long as the just preceding one, each annulation 

 bearing one or two or more fine inconspicuous pubescence near the
