In dorsal view, cephalic gland duct partially or completely visible from nasus to reservoir. Many small, some medium, and a few longer setae scattered on head; setae on nasus small and numerous. In dorsal view, head capsule outline, without nasus, ovoid; nasus about 2/3 as long as rest of head capsule; head capsule barely constricted behind antennal sockets; widest in middle. In lateral view, vertex nearly in a flat plane; vertex and ventral margin of head capsule converge to front. In dorsal view nasus is narrowly conical, about thrice its width at base compared to midpoint; In lateral view nasus conical; projecting directly anterior below plane of vertex. Mandibles with short, very narrow, points. Antennal with 12 articles (1>2<3=4). Hind tibia about as long as or shorter than maximum head width. Pronotum with scattered microscopic setae (0.05 mm); anterior lobe evenly convex and ca. 90° from plane of posterior lobe, posterior lobe more blunt. Each tergite with 3-4 long (0.13 mm) setae and dozens of microscopic (0.05 mm) setae. EVA consists of three irregular rows of about 8-12 long subtriangulate, and very slightly down-curved spines; a few small scale-like spines in the anterior ring.</paragraph>
