touching eye and narrowly separated from basal callus, and a small vertical 
spot of same color on median line slightiy above middle; hair of frons sparse, 
mostly pale; width of frons at vertex about equal to distance on median line 
from top of the somewhat depressed vertex to top of subcallus; frons widened 
below from about level of black spots; basal callus black, rugose above, about 
four times as wide as high, with upper margin excised at each side of 
middle; subeallus dark brownish black, with a narrow, yellowish, median line; 
yellowish rims to antennal pits. First antennal segment about twice as long

the basal half with thin gray pollen, apical half shiny black; second with blunt 
dorsal angle; basal portion of third orange, elongate, with scarcely any dorsal

width, with blunt apex and scattered, long, black hair. Proboscis about length 
of palpus.
