Fig. 1. 



Facialia unarmed, rounded, divergent, but gradually convergent below. 

 Vibrissae approximated well above the oral margin, on a level witl 

 termini of ptilinal suture (fig. 1, e ; fig. 2, i). 



A row of strong and a divergent row of weak peristo)nal bristles (fig. 1 

 'g and /). 



Oral cavity moderately deep, nar- 

 rowing anteriorly but widening pos- 

 teriorly. 



Clypeus an elongate plate, ante- 

 riorly extending over full width of 

 oral cavity, but narrowing towards 

 the rostrum. 



Proboscis horny, slender, project- 

 ing forward, slightly longer than the 

 head, geniculated ; rostrum brown ; 

 haustellum with a few golden hairs at 

 the tip, shiny, dark brown except for 

 a proximal whitish patch (fig. 1, c). 



Palpi dark tawny, slender, elon- 

 gate, well developed, projecting 

 beyond epistome, and bearing long, 

 thin, stiff, black bristles (fig. 1). 



Longitudinal axis of head, at in- 

 sertion of antennae, equal to axis of 

 oral margin. 



Facio-peristomal profile angular. 



Antennae approximated ; 1st joint 



reddish-brown, projecting almost at 



right angles to frontalia, and with a few short bristles projecting forward 



on distal margin (fig. 1, 6); 2nd joint of same colour as preceding, about 



half as long as 3rd, bearing closely set short 

 bristles on front edge and a row of smaller 

 lateral ones ; 3rd joint duU-piceous, reddish 

 upon inner proximal margin, occupying 

 about one-third of the length of facial 

 profile. 



Arista piceous, minutely pubescent, 

 tapering beyond two-thirds of length 

 towards distal extremity; 1st aristal joint 

 short, 2ud elongate. 



Lunula crescent-shaped, rounded, in 

 colour shining reddish-brown. 



Eyes dichoptic, with sparse microscopic 

 hairs, and receding to about the level of 

 the middle of the face. 



Vertex wide, inner vertical bristles very 

 long, post-ocellar bristles delicate and 

 divergent. 



Front conically projecting ; ocelli sepa- 

 rated ; ocellar plate triangular, of mode- 

 rate dimensions, with weak bristles ; pre-ocellar bristles absent. 



Frontalia reddish-brown, opaque, rectangular, narrowing towards the 

 vertex, longitudinally corrugated for about two-thirds of the length from 

 notched lunula (fig. 2, a, a).

 X 12 times.
