arcuati, verticem paullo superantes ; articulus 3" lanceolatus, 2! di-

‘Male. Body robust. Proboscis very short. Palpi ascending, com- 
pressed, very slightly curved, rising rather higher than the vertex ; 
3rd joint lanceolate, full half the length of the 2nd. Antenne very 
minutely pubescent. Abdomen not extending beyond the hind wings ; 
apical tuft small. Legs rather short, moderately stout; middle knees 
with a fan-shaped tuft of hairs; hind tibiz with four long spurs.
