Antennae inserted somewhat above the middle of the face as seen 

 in frontal view of head or a little above the lower corners of the eyes; 

 scape enormously expanded beneath, strongly convex on the inner face and 

 concave on the outer; pedicel nearly ovate in outline, about equal to 

 the first funicle joint in length and twice as wide; flagelluni slender 

 and cylindrical; the second of the three ring-joints shortest, the third 

 longest, or about twice as long as the first and somewhat longer on its 

 inner side, the first joint about a fourth longer again than the second; 

 first funicle joint about a fourth longer than the second and a third 

 longer than either the third or fourth joint, the latter somewhat 

 thicker than the preceding joints; club about as long as the last 

 three funicle joints combined and liardly wider, the first two joints 

 subequal and somewhat shorter than the third, which is triangular in 

 outline with a long cylindrical nipple fully one-half as long as the 

 basal part of the joint. Bristles on antennae nearly as in the female, 

 but those on the scape and pedicel hardly weaker than the smaller 

 ones on the funicle; those with enlarged base occur near apex of the 

 last two funicle joints and on the first two joints of the club. 



Thorax nearly as in the female, the submedian sulci of scutellum 

 slightly diverging behind; wings and legs as in the female, the front 

 tarsi not modified. Abdomen hardly longer than the head and thorax 

 combined, its sides parallel and the apex much less acutely pointed 

 than in the female. Sculpture similar to that of the female but rather 

 finer and more delicate, the inner or dorsal surface of the scape minutely 

 and alutaceously roughened.
