Host nun rather shorter than thorax, moderately broad, 

 subparallel. The aerobe begins before the middle and ex- 

 tends to the lower and front part of the eye. Scape almost 

 straight, otdy slightly incra^sate, attaining the front of the 

 eye. Funiculus 7-arti(ulate, basal two joints elongate, 

 second evidently the longer ; third rather longer than 

 broad ; 4—7 subquadrate, the seventh larger than the pre- 

 ceding one ; club elongate-oval, quadriarticulate. ^yes just 

 free fram thorax, lateral, hardly convex, distinctly facetted, 

 truncate in front. Thorax conical, somewhat prolonged 

 t)ver the head ; deeply emarginate behind the eyes, obtusely

 the front coxse. Intermediate and posterior cox(S widely 

 separated. Metasternum short. Abdomen narrowed behind, 

 second segment, at the sides, about as long as the first, the 

 frontal suture sinuate ; third and fourth moderately short,
