Description. — ^Body elongate, little over three times longer 

 than broad. Head little broader than long, not deeply set in 

 thorax, with front emarginate on each side of broad elongate 

 median process, apex of which obtusely pointed. Antenncie fit in 

 these excavations. Front lateral angles of head acutely pointed. 

 Eyes small, about twice as broad as long, somewhat obliquely- 

 placed at sides of head, and also about half way between front 

 lateral and hind lateral angles. First antennae formed of seven 

 segments, and basal segments in each antennae adjacent on 

 ventral side. First antennae reach just below eyes. Second an- 

 tennae formed of eleven segments, last three very minute. Seg- 

 ments of both pairs of antennae greatly expanded and flattened. 

 Second antennae reach to hind edge of head. Maxillipeds with 

 palp of two segments. Mandibular palp very large, conspicuous, 

 formed of three segments. Second or hind maxillae very large, 

 conspicuous, bilobed at tip, and both lobes with small hooks. 

 First four thoracic segments large, about equal in length, fifth 

 segment half as long as any four preceding segments, and sixth 

 and seventh segments very short in median dorsal line and each 

 about one-half length of fifth. First thoracic segment with front 

 lateral expansion produced in carinated process produced out- 

 ward and forward, and ends acutely little anterior to front lateral
