Head as broad as long, quadrangular, posterior angles with a large flat chitinous expansion from which arises a stout hair extending backwards and reaching slightly beyond the insertion of the third pair of legs. Mentum with six short, curved spines, arranged in a circlet; beyond the mentum is a bilateral series of three larger spines, arranged somewhat in the form of a circle. Mesothorax with two long, stiff hairs, widely separated. Antennae (fig. 2) stout, of five segments; first segment much the largest, broader than long, the length equalling half the width of the head; second segment simple; third segment the shortest, anteriorly produced into a long, blunt, curved spine; fourth segment simple, not quite as long as the second; apical segment shorter than the fourth, apex truncate, bearing three or four minute spines; margins of all the joints more or less highly chitinised. Leg i. shorter than the rest; leg ii. (fig. 3) similar to leg i., but the tarsus is a little more dilated; claw long and slender; leg iii. much the stoutest; terminal clasping-claw (fig. 4) large, apex blunt; inner sub-terminal claw much smaller, and when closed lies completely hidden within a groove in the tarsal joint, a small stout spine arises from its base. Abdomen of nine segments, each segment furnished with a transverse series of long, stiff hairs, some of those at the margins being much the longest. Genital armature (see fig. 1) with a central, slightly curved, blunt, spineshaped, or horn-shaped organ, on either side of which is a small setiferous lobe.
