The animal has the head considerably produced, and 
anteriorly depressed, having the frontal margin rounded. 
The eye appears to stand upon a process of the head, 
between and above the superior antennse, but not to be

is of a dull red-purple colour, but without a clearly-de- 
fined outline, a circumstance that has led to the selection 
of the specific name, as it has every appearance of being 
an imperfect organ of vision. The antennse are nearly of 
equal length ; the superior are scarcely longer than the 
head, — they have the first two joints of the peduncle
