long, without setae. Labial palpus three-segmented; first segment 
four and one-half times as long as wide, cylindrical; second segment 
a little narrower than first and about one-third as long; third seg- 
ment narrower than second, about one-third as long, pointed. Ligula 
cylindrical, about as wide as first segment of labial palpus and less 
than half as long. Pronotum a little wider than long, about as wide 
as head; with three setae each side along anterior margin; five each 
side along posterior margin; two discal setae each side; three large 
and several small setae in the lateral series. Anterior face of protibia 
with a row of six or seven closely placed setae at distal edge which 
are less than one-third the length of the major setae near them. 
Mesonotum and metanotum of about equal size and shape, each 
about as wide as pronotum and about half as long; each with about 
twelve setae each side along the anterior margin, about eight setae 
along the posterior margin, with several lateral setae and no discal 
setae. Abdominal segments of about equal length, diminishing in 
width so that the abdomen is tapered ; each tergite on each side, with 
about five setae along the anterior margin, five in a transverse row 
along the disc and five along the posterior margin. Spiracles prom- 
inent on all abdominal segments. Pseudopod cylindrical, more than 
twice as long as wide. Urogomphus two-segmented, first segment 
about half as wide and slightly longer than pseudopod, second seg- 
ment about half as wide as first segment and about one-third as long.

Length 18.0 mm. Elongate, piceous with the mesonotum and 
metanotum paler, heavily chitinized, surface minutely reticulate and 
dull. Head longer than wide, ventrally reflexed so that it is not 
visible from above, with a large dark eye spot each side, without 
tuberculi or setae. Antennae curved over legs, reaching to the tibio- 
femoral joint of the middle leg. Pronotum about as long as wide, 
arched, with a row of stout setae at the front margin divided into 
two series by a gap in the center which is more than twice as wide 
as the distance between the other setae; twelve setae on the right 
side and thirteen on the left. Mesotibia with a row of nine tubercles 
along the posterior edge and an adjacent row of six tubercles. 
Metatibia with a row of five small tuberculate hooks with their 
apices hooked distally. Elytra reaching to mid point on mesotibia. 
Apices of wings extending posteriorly from apex of elytra to about
