Mandibles weakly striate, shining, and armed with five teeth: the apical-most well developed, followed by a less developed preapical tooth and three equally-developed smaller teeth. Anterior clypeal margin flat medially. Antennal scapes moderately long: when fully retracted, just barely surpassing the posterior margin of the head capsule (SI 9293). Antennae 12-segmented; antennal club of three segments, with the apical-most segment slightly longer than the preceding two in combination. Frontal carinae moderately long, extending past the antennal toruli by about two times the maximum width of the antennal scape. Compound eyes moderately protruding past the lateral margins of the head capsule. Lateral margin of head weakly convex, forming a continuous arc from the posterior of the head, converging below the compound eye to the mandibular insertions. Posterior head margin weakly concave to flat, rounding evenly into the lateral margins.
