Head. -Large, lieniisplierical behind the eyes. Eyes small 
(0 323 X 0'391 diani.), slightly obhque, prominent, finely facetted, 
0 136 from lower margin of head. Ocelli large, well separated 
from eyes, in line with fontanelle, their posterior margin a little 
behind a line drawn through the anterior margin of the eyes. Fon- 
tanelle large, circular, with prominent maT'gins, sinuate fine furrows 
arising posterior to it and passing forward on either side of it into 
the frons. Irons convex, its antero-lateral margins well defined 
by the transverse suture, the posterior margin not so well defined 
but clearly extending to the fontanelle; clypeo-frontal suture 
straight. Clypeus triangular, two-fifths wider than long, the apex 
bluntly pointed and projecting markedly over the excavated ante- 
clypeus, dark in colour, divided longitudinally by a distinct suture, 
which passes posterioily into the frons. Anteclypeus hyaline. 
Labrum large, convex, slightly narrowed at the base, swollen on the 
sides, rounded in front. Antennae of doubtful number of joints, 
only 14 and 15 joints remaining in king and queen ; the 2nd and 4th 
equal in length, the 2nd quadrate, the 4tli globose ; the 3rd markedly 
longer than 2nd and 4th ; 5th a little longer than 4th ; 4th to 14tii 
moniliform. 
Thorax . — Fronotum very large, slightly arched, the posterior 
and lateral margins raised, the anterior margin nearly straight, its 
extreme edge bent up, with an obscure depression in centre ; the sides 
rounded, posterior margin slightly concave, a scanty fringe of lorig 
and medium sized setae on sides and behind, a few similar ones on 
remainder of surface. Wing-stumps very large, with scattered 
large golden setae ; the base of the veins very distinct ; the stumps 
of the forewings nearly covering those of the hindwings. 
Legs . — Long and rather stout, with few setae, excepting on the 
outer edge of tarsi, where there is a rather dense fringe of long and 
moderately stout ones. 
Abdomen . — Widest in the middle, bluntly rounded posteriorily ; 
tergites with apical fringe of long golden setae like those on wing- 
stumps, others scattered irregularly behind these. Cerci long and 
moderately stout.
