Front long acute, beak short, hardly inflexed. Cephalothorax long 

 acute behind, five-jointed, head separate, three posterior segments 

 besides a fourth behind very short. Superior eyes subremote, inferior 

 quite small. Anterior antennae very nearly as long as the body, 

 very widely divaricate, the tips curving forward a little, but not 

 much in advance of the line of the beak ; setse towards the base 

 longish and crowded, posterior penult as long as last two joints 

 together, the subapical and apical not longer than a joint, the ante- 

 rior antepenult very short. Eight antenna of male subterete, 

 thirteen-jointed, incrassate at middle, second joint long, six follow- 

 ing short, next two long and slender, sparingly arcuate, subequal, 

 last (next) three joints as in the left antenna. Eight posterior 

 foot of male broad, hand at extremity broad orbiculate, no immove-

Length, one-tenth of an inch. Colour, blue. Eemarkable for its

 that of one of the superior eyes ; and in a vertical view it is seen a
