: Length 3.4 mm. - Head, excluding mandibles, a trifle longer than wide back of eyes, occipital corners in form of obtuse angles, posterior pair of ocelli extending farther back than occipital angles, median ocellus on same level as angles. Behind each posterior ocellus is a small tubercle and behind these the head is transversely and deeply excised to the short neck. Anterior clypeal margin convex. Eyes hemispherical, not quite 1/2 length of head, excluding mandibles. Frontal lobes in form of high sub-vertical carinae not covering antennal insertions. Antennal scapes sub-cylindrical, extending as far as posterior border of median ocellus, as long as first two joints of funiculus taken together. Mandibles wellformed, triangular, with 6 distinct teeth on cutting edge and larger apical tooth.
