(4), 5, (5andG), 4-| , (7), 4, (8), 31, Taking the last joint as 70 the uniform 
width from 3-8 is 60, 2 (57), and 1 (50). The club, as long as joint 6 
of the funicle, shews only 1 distinct suture (at which it is as broad as the 
funicle) dividing it 5 : 12. There is a small apical sense organ and a 
minute spatulate spiur. The first ftmicular has an apical row of 3-5 
sensoria, the other joints shew 3-5 more or less complete rows contain- 
ing up to 10 or more sensoria in all of which the flange exceeds the 
elongate narrow base. 
Mouth parts ; labrum transparent brown, broader than long (4 : 3) 
contracted basally, in general shape parabolic, siuface reticulate pattern 
transverse, at base raised into striae ; about a dozen bristles on the sm-face 
and many more stronger (18 : 18) at the sides, at the end of long sensory 
channels. The median pair of these fringing bristles is over 3 the length 
of the labrum. Mandibles (3 : 2) the right tridentate, the left bidentate 
(fig. 9, a and h) both apically contracted, the teeth small. In the right, 
rounded, subequal, the middle one smaller. In the left more truncate. 
Externally the mandibles bear along the ventral and dorsal edges and 
subapically, in all 6-7 bristles and on the general smface up to 30 others 
considerably (|-|) shorter. Cardo narrow, longer than either stipes or 
galea. Maxillary palpus 7 : 11: 10 : 16, labial palpus 11:4: 11. Mentum 
smooth, 11-15 bristles, about 20 sensory bristles on lingua. Thorax:

all notal surfaces densely set with small thimble-like punctures (smooth 
only towards the sides at the suture between the parapsides and axillae) 
the surface between the punctures being also minutely reticulate ; each 
puncture gives rise to a minute flat glistening white bristle. Pronotum
