or pale brownish yellow curved pubescence behind. Proboscis rather 

 slender, about a half as long as the depth of the head, blackish brown ; 

 stalk narrower than the sucker-flap, covered with rather numerous long 

 yellowish brown soft hairs; sucker-flaps very short and stout, furnished 

 with short scattered brown bristly hairs. Palpi very small yellowish 

 brown or reddish brown ; basal joint narrow, about from three-fifths to 

 two-thirds as long as the end joint, darkened below about the basal 

 half, and covered with numerous long yellow or pale brownish yellow 

 pubescence; second joint elongate, gradually thickened from the base 

 to after the middle and then rather rapidly contracted to a bluntly 

 rounded end, about twice or two and a half times as long as its thickest 

 part, bearing numerous depressed black bristly hairs on the outerside 

 with a few yellow ones usually intermixed, and with sparser yellowish 

 hairs inside and upper base, the black bristly hairs sometimes being 

 rather few and replaced by numerous yellowish ones. Antennae as in 

 the female but very smaller, with the apical circlet of the second joint 

 often compound of black bristles only, with the apical process usually 

 comparatively longer, and with the basal joint so more thickened apically 

 as it is about as long as wide. Eyes very large, quite bare-, in death 

 blackish with some coppery shimmer but the area occupied with large 

 facets brownish red; the front facets all much enlarged and contrasted 

 with the small facets on the lower third and on the narrow (but not 

 very) marginal zone which extends equally right up to the vertical 

 space ; the enlarged facets extend undiminished up to the touching part 

 of the eyes; the contrasting line of facets begins at near the top of the 

 frontal triangle and loops down right across the eyes to the narrow 

 zone, leaving the widest part of the small facets at about the middle of 

 the head (when viewed sideways); the eyes touch for about two and a 

 half times the extreme length o{ the frontal triangle. 



Thorax roundish, about as long as wide, and slightly longer 

 than the head, very similarily coloured and haired to that of the female 

 but with the black pubescence very much longer and more conspicuous ;
