A large and distinguished species. The head is very rugose, 
the clypeus is contracted behind the apical angles and then pro- 
duced again into another pair of angles. The labrum is transverse, 
slightly sinuate in front, with the angles rounded and setose. The 
mentum is quadrate, the lobes rounded at the apex and slightly 
sulcated, the tooth is strong, of equal length with the lobes and of 
the typical spearheaded form. The ligula has the apical angle much 
elongated, terminating in a membranaceous bristle which is bifur- 
cate at the tip. The maxillary palpi have the last joint elongate, 
cylindrico-conic: that of the labial ones is still more elongate, ellip- 
tic. The antennae have the basal joints elongate, those towards 
the tip rounded. They and the legs are hairy, otherwise the insect 
is of a bright polished surface.
