d.ya).\xa = show-piece, ayJ'/.o; = leg 
Head smooth, rounded. Ocellus posterior. Proboscis developed. Antenna 
over 1, in male filiform, serrulate, simple, scape elongate, clavate, smooth, 
without pecten. Labial palpus very long, recurved, compressed laterally, 
slender, smooth, median segment hardly roughish beneath, terminal 
segment somewhat longer than median, acute. Maxillary palpus minute, 
scaled, appressed to proboscis. All legs brilliantly coloured, metallic 
above, apparently displayed when in repose, median and especially 
posterior trochanter very much enlarged, posterior femur strongly flattened
