 the antennae quite robust, feebly thickened distally, their second and 

 third joints elongate, about of same length, the fourth and fifth a little 

 longer than broad, the following and the next-last a little increasingly 

 feebly transverse (^ ) or about as long as broad (3*), distal joint oval,
