Head barely broader than deep (12 : 11), short ; occiput broadly and deeply 

 concave ; lateral ocelli about a diameter from the occipital edge and half a diameter 

 from the orbits respectively, lying in an equilateral triangle. Eyes in profile twice as 

 long as the malar keel, or five-eighths the depth of the head, separated at their nearest 

 (at the lateral ocelli) by one-fourth, and on the base line of the eye by nearly three- 

 fourths the breadth of the head. The mouth-opening is about two-fifths of the width
