White, excepting the eye patches which are brown ; clothed with plu- 

 mose hairs, those about the head and neck, and scattered ones on the 

 body, bowed aild clubbed. Antennae about as long as the head, thick 

 set, joints in one specimen in the ratio 4 : 6 : 5 : 13, in another 8 : 15 : 

 12 : 27 ; the terminal joint nearly as long as the other three joints together, 

 two and three broad at the distal and narrow at the proximal end, clothed 

 with hairs, those on the terminal joint verticillate. Eye patches two on 

 each side of the head, small ; the anterior larger and bearing two ocelli 

 close together and transversely arranged ; the posterior elongated, with 

 a single ocellus, at the anterior end. Legs rather stout and hairy ; superior 

 claw with two teeth on the inner edge, one tooth near the middle and the 

 other half way between it and the distal end, sides of the claw depressed ; 

 inferior claw plain, half as long as the superior, apparently round and 

 gradually sloping to the apex ; a single tenent hair bulbous at the end. 



Furculum more than half as long as the body and head together, manu- 

 brium and dentes nearly equal in length, dentes corrugated transversely 

 on the under surface, two stout plumose hairs extend beyond the end of 

 the mucrones. Mucrones with two teeth in side view, the first forming a 

 hook at the end, the other at right angles to the mucrone.
