. Head longer than wide, sides and posterior outline slightly convex. Posterior head corners rounded. Mandibles triangular, masticatory margin edentate except two blunt apical teeth. Palp formula undeterminable. Clypeus convex in anterior part, posteriorly narrowly inserted between frontal lobes. Clypeus lacking carinae. Frontal lobes present and short but prominent, rounded and obscuring antennal sockets. Antennae 11-segmented with feebly defined three segmented club, apical segment being largest and equal in length to rest of funiculus, excluding pedicel. Scape slightly longer than head width, shallowly curved at base. Eyes small, composed of a few feebly defined ommatidia and situated slightly anterior to midlength of head (at 45% of HL).
