nearly parallel, a little wider than ligula, extending very 
little beyond it. 
Palpi glabrous; maxillaries with joint 2 incrassate = 4, 
which is cylindrical, slightly tapermg and rounded at apex, 
3 about two-thirds of 4, tapering towards base ; labials with 
equal cylindrical joints, the last truncate at apex, penultimate

Mandibles short, with a blunt tooth at base, right mandible
