Maxillary palpi (Tab. VI. fig. 1 m) robust, short, incrassated ; the

 second ovate ; the third to the fifth subequal, attenuated, slightly 

 thickened at the apex, nearly double the length of the basal joint ; 

 the terminal joints are somewhat shorter and narrower; the an- 

 tennae are in position approximate, situated at the frontal angle, on 

 a transverse prolongation of the head.

 extending laterally not quite so far as the anterior angles of the 

 thorax ; in the males more globose and prominent than in the females.
