and about the middle except on the area just below the antennae ; 

 cheeks covered with numerous rather brownish black short pubeseence 

 which grows up longer at the lower part and about the jowls on 

 where there are numerous much longer more dense shaggy whitish 

 soft hairs ; back of the head moderately hollowed out all over, covered 

 with a whitish grey tomentum and bearing numerous but not dense 

 short white soft hairs ; the postocular bare rim very pale yellowish 

 white, very narrow and its upper thirds more narrow, behind which 

 is a short rather dense conspicuous black ciliation which becomes 

 slightly shorter and sparser below to the jowls. Palpi pale yellowish 

 inside, but the outside covered with a dark grey tomc-ntum ; first joint- 

 about two-fifth as long as the second joint, blackish but moderately 

 obscured by a gi'ey tomentum and covered with numerous long not 

 dense black pubescence ; second joint rather slender, about three times 

 as long as its broadest part, broadest about the base and then drooping 

 and gradually narrowed to an obtuse point, covered with numerous 

 dense depressed black bristles all over the outside, while the inside 

 is quite bare, and on the underside of the base there are some longer 

 but black hairs. Antennae dull reddish brown with the basal joint 

 somewhat yellowish ; basal joint slightly thickened apically above 

 at the top hooked over the base of the second joint, longer than its- 

 stoutest part, covered with numerous short black pubescence which 

 becomes conspicuously sparser about the upper and inner bases, while 

 at the lower tip there are some conspicuous longer black hairs and on 

 the outside rather numerous less longer similar hairs almost all over; 

 second joint very small and about one-thirds as long as the basal 

 joint, with the moderately long narrow black apical process as usual 

 and with a complete apical circlet of short black bristles which on the 

 underside slightly longer but less denser, and that on the sides es- 

 pecially on the inner side become much denser; the basal annulation 

 of the third joint narrow and long, about twice as long as the two 

 basal joints together, about three times as long as its broadest part,
