the sides, being broadest between the 2nd and 3rd pairs of legs. The cephalic part 

 reaches two-thirds of the total length, ending in a narrow rounded point inside a large 

 and deep procurved horseshoe-shaped fovea. 



The clypeus slopes slightly forwards from the eyes, the latter being on a tubercle 

 broader than long, with a shallow hollow behind it ; though less marked at the sides 

 the tubercle is quite distinct. The rear row is slightly procurved, the eyes about 

 equal in size ; the median pair — almost round, but straight at the back — are twice their 

 diameter apart, one-third of their diameter from the laterals, and one-half from the 

 front median. The front row is more strongly procurved, the upper edge of the 

 laterals being- on a line with the lower margin of the median. The latter, two-thirds

their diameter apart, are slightly larger than the rear median. The front laterals are 

 twice the diameter of the rear eyes, and are distant from one another by the space 

 between the outer edges of the median pair. 



The mandibles project scarcely more than one-fourth of their length, which equals 

 the breadth of the front margin of the cephalothorax. The fangs are stout, flattened 

 and sharpened in front. The maxillse, measured along the outer side, are twice as 

 long as broad, shorter on the inner side, and straight in front, and only slightly 

 hollowed at the base with a rounded point at the lower outer corner. The fringe 

 extends the whole length of the inner side, with long curving hair. Large, pointed, 

 tooth-shaped, converted bristles extend along the base and diagonally across from the 

 lower inner to the upper outer corner.
