very few slightly longer black hairs on the tip ; second joint small 

 and about a half as long as the basal joint, with a small triangular 

 apical process above, covered with numerous tiny black bristles almost 

 all over, excepting on the extreme base ; third joint about two and a 

 half times as long as the basal two joints together, the basal annula- 

 tion rather narrow and about two and a half times as long as its 

 broadest part, with a very short rather broad dorsal tooth before the 

 middle, and with a very broad blunt lower angle right below the 

 dorsal hump, the lower margin being very slightly concave after the 

 bent, the dorsal hump and the lower angle bearing very few tiny 

 black bristly hairs, some similar but more inconspicuous pubescence 

 occuring about the middle of the basal part ; style-like portion narrow 

 and rather long but about two-fifths as long as the basal annulation of 

 the third joint, the first three annulations subquadrate, of which the 

 middle one is shortest and somewhat transverse, and the apical one is 

 longest and as long as wide, while, the absolute apical conical annula- 

 tion is very slightly shorter than the preceding two together and bears 

 some fine inconspicuous blackish pubescence on about the apical half, 

 but on the other annulations there are only one or two. Eyes bare, 

 with the facets all equal in size, in death deep bluish black with some 

 metallic raster in a certain light ; when seen from above the hind 

 margin straight and about one and a third as long as the frontal 

 margin, the outer margin moderately convex but the apical part nearly 

 straight, the top angle about 95, and the frontal angle about 65"" ; in 

 profile oval with the top angle narrowly roundish, deeper than long, 

 the frontal and hind margin moderately convex, and the lower margin 

 strongly convex ; when seen from in front about as deep as wide, the 

 facial margin very slightly convex and shorter than the frontal margin, 

 the frontal angle about 135, the top angle about 95, and the lower 

 angle about no and rounded.
