and distinct broad transverse bands, not reaching lateral margins, on segments 3 
to 6, inclusive, of the abdomen. 
Head, length .37 mm.; width .46 mm.; thus being wider than long: general 
shape quadrangular with rounding angles; clypeal front broad and straight with 
a slight gradual median concavity and at the middle of the concavity a very nar- 
row, straight incision bisecting the anterior marginal marking; trabeculz incon- 
spicuous; ocular fossz slight, with eyes unusually projecting and conspicuous; 
posterior margin straight. Antennz very long, when projecting backwards ex- 
tending slightly beyond posterior margin, second segment almost twice as long as 
third, two small sense pits on third segment. A pair of straight, nearly parallel 
occipital bands running forward to meet diagonal antennal bands, each occipital 
band also sending an inner branch to the base of the mandibles. 
Prothorax slightly narrower than the metathorax with both segments of about 
the same length; lateral margins of prothorax slightly diverging so that the seg- 
ment is widest between its posterior lateral angles. Metathorax widest in the mid- 
dle with a projecting obtuse angle at the middle of each lateral margin; from these
