antennas shorter than the cephalic segment, which is 

 separated from the thorax. Second pair 4-jointed, the 

 third joint very short ; no secondary branch. Mouth-

 of feet 2-branched, both branches 3-jointed ; fifth pair 

 cylindrical, 2 3-jointed, composed each of one branch 

 only, alike in both sexes.

 a well-developed biramose mandibular palp, and in the 

 non-prehensile character of the second foot-jaw.
