 elongated in male. 



Mandibles with slender palp, attached behind the small molar 

 tubercle ; first maxillae with outer plate very obliquely truncated

Eyes rather large, elongated, not pigmented in alcoholic speci- 

 mens. Interantennal lobes of head produced and narrowly

First antennae short, with stout peduncle having second and 

 third joints very short; first joint of principal flagellum elongated 

 and densely setose, succeeding joints short; accessory flagellum

 the body length ; peduncle short ; flagellum in male very slender.
