 swellings, and in its greatest breadth, broader than long. Anterior antenna; not as 

 long as the thorax, and of twenty-three joints, the first, second, eighth and ninth 

 coalesced, with few bristles, the longest on the seventh and eighteenth joints, but well 

 supplied with long test he tasks.
