Head immersed to the eyes in the thorax, transverse, a little obliquely 
and straightly (subconically) narrowed towards the rostrum, nearly flat, 
clothed with a dense light fulvous or straw-coloured pile ; convex, black, 
shining, transversely and finely strigose underneath. Eyes oblong, trans¬ 
versely very narrow, entire, lateral, not encroaching upon the head, 
slightly convex, brown. Rostrum more than twice as long as the head, 
elongate, narrow, not broader at its base than the forehead ; sides to two- 
thirds of the length straightly parallel, then rather abruptly obliquely and 
somewhat roundly dilated to the apex, with the inferior dilatation 
{Pterygium) under the insertion of the antennae, evidently more extended 
laterally than the upper one ; apex slightly emarginate ; upper part obso- 
letely canaliculate anteriorly, densely clothed like the head; the apical 
hairs reach over the tip and partly cover the labrum and mandibles ; 
inflected sides nearly flat, but not separated from the upper side by any 
lateral ridge or angle, denudate and rugose, as well as the lower part,
