 high; three transverse rows of strong bristles, the rows straight or 

 more or less to considerably curved; supraantennal bristles directed 

 backwards, one pair, relatively strong. Eyes hairy. Antennæ inserted 

 below the middle of the head, of ordinary size, or in the male the third

 sometimes long, rather slender and very protruding, and then also 

 the oral cone with the clypeus long; in accordance with the length 

 of the proboscis and oral cone the clypeus is either horse-shoe-shaped
