). Ventral anterior plate of different shape, and may be rounded, pointed, tapering or flat posteriorly. Pulvinus large and transparent, and associated with one or two pairs of dark structures at the postero-lateral ends. Marginal carina usually clearly defined laterally, though in most species interrupted at least dorsally by the dorsal preantennal suture. Anteriorly, the marginal carina may be interrupted at least ventrally by the anterior extensions of the ventral preantennal suture, which delimit the ventral anterior plate. The marginal carina typically widens inwards at the anterior end of the head, augmenting the ventral anterior plate. Just posterior to the dorsal preantennal suture, there is a broadening of the marginal carina, here termed the lateral nodus, from which the dark preantennal band arises. This band veers off medially, but is usually narrow and fades out as it approaches the middle of the head. In most species, the posterior margin of this band is more clearly defined than the anterior margin. Just before the antennae, the marginal carina broadens ventrally and turns inwards towards the mandibles, for which it seems to provide a socket. An extension of the marginal carina reaches the ventral carina, which is usually well defined posteriorly, but fades when it reaches the dorsal preantennal suture. Dorsally, the marginal carina forms a nodus just anterior to the antennal base, but a usually ill-defined and vaguely pigmented extension continues past the antenna to connect with the preocular nodus, the ocular band, and the postocular nodus, from which it continues as the temporal marginal carina. A thin line runs medially from this nodus to disappear above the mandibles, and we have interpreted this as being what

termed the transversal suture. This line, however, is often very hard to see. Ventrally, the marginal carina divides in two just posterior to the mandibles, with one section continuing as the ventral part of the temporal marginal carina, and the other continuing as the temporal carina. The temporal carina fades out quite abruptly near the posterior margin of the head, and does not seem to reconnect to the temporal marginal carina. Gular plate prominent and usually spade-shaped, in some species with short extensions laterally.
