in gf thick, serrate, simple, somewhat roughened with scales above, basal joint moderately elongate, 
without pecten. Labial palpi long, curved, ascending, second joint with dense appressed scales, forming 
a slight apical projection beneath, and projecting roughly towards apex above, terminal joint as long as 
second, moderate, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae
