Small lightly pigmented sharp spine ventrad to apex of genal lobe. Th ree placoids evenly distributed along margin of frons, single placoid near occipital groove (female same except with two placoids along dorsal occipital area and single placoid laterally). Lucodiscs (appear pearly as tiny shiny air bubbles) occur 1) two between eye and genal ctenidia, 2) one anterior to genal spine, 3) one dorsad of clavus, 4) two laterally on each thoracic segment and each abdominal T-I-VII and S- II-VIII (female without lucodisc on S-VIII). Eye large, oval, darkly pigmented. Antennal segments stubby and broad. Scape with numerous slender setae; pedicel with marginal long setae extending to 3/4 length of clavus. Ventral clavus of male with first seven segments fused (all fused in female). Genal lobe produced upward to enclose most of antenna within fossa. Postantennal area with three rows (1, 1, and 4) setae (female = 1, 3, and 6). Occipital groove with dense cluster of minute setae within darkly pigmented groove. Penultimate segment of labial palpus shortest; second segment longest. Maxillary lobe stout, acutely pointed; lobes of five segments, extended 1/2-3/4 length of fore coxa.
