Remarks.
Details of the rostral area are not described or illustrated by
Barnard (1962)
. The short, rounded front projection of the head and the slightly less than vertical, straight lateral front margin suggest the presence of a distinct rostrum hidden behind antenna 1. The species is otherwise in agreement with the present diagnosis of the genus.
