the whitish one nearly absent. Antennae dark reddish brown or dark 

 yellowish brown, slightly covered with a greyish tomentum on the 

 first two joints ; first joint stout and moderate in length, thickened 

 apically and with a short broad blackened apical dorsal process, clothed 

 with numerous fine and short black pubescence which becomes slightly 

 longer about the apex of the underside, and with some long pale hairs 

 intermixed almost through the underside and about the base of the 

 outside second joint very small and about thirds as long as the first 

 joint, with a rather long and narrow apical process, and an incomplete 

 circlet of very tiny black bristly hairs which are only conspicuous on 

 the underside ; third joint very slightly broader than the first joint 

 and about three times as long as the second and third joints together, 

 darker with the style-like portion blackish ; the first annulation of the 

 third joint about as long as the following annulations together and 

 about one and a half times as long as its broadest part, and with a 

 rather flat dorsal hump near the base, the hump more or less crowned 

 with a very few minute black bristly hairs ; the style-like portion 

 rather long and slender, the basal three annulations each slightly long- 

 er than the width, but the apical one wholly one and a half times 

 as long as just preceding one, these four annulation bearing one or 

 two minute inconspicuous pubescence about the top of each annulation. 

 Eyes quite bare, with he facets equal in size, in death deep purplish 

 black with a coppery shimmer in a certain light; when seen from 

 above rather flat triangular, the frontal margin about two-thirds as 

 long as the hind margin which is almost straight throughout but 

 somewhat convex at the outer end where the outer angle is about 65 

 and is narrowly rounded, the upper angle about 110 and the outer 

 margin moderately convex after the middle ; in profile long oval, about 

 three-fifth as wide as the depth, the frontal and posterior margins 

 almost equally but slightly convex and the lower margin strongly 

 curved below ; when seen from front about as wide as depth, the fron- 

 tal margin longer than the facial margin, the frontal angle about 135,
