 as the eyes. Scape slender, with bulla about as long as the funicle, the flagellum subcylindrical, 

 the club barely wider than the funicle and not quite half as long. Pedicel subequal to funicle 

 6 which is longest, a little longer than wide, wider than 1 which is subequal to 2 and quadrate. 

 Hind tibial spurs double, the shorter sjiur no longer than the apical setse but distinctly stouter.
