7-8 ventral and 3 dorsal (at Antennae 3 organ inconspicuous, with small apical sensilla and guards. Antennae 2-3 with a short, triangular spin like sensillum in mid-ventral position. Antennae 4 has a short club-shaped subapical organ. Labrum with 4/554 smooth setae, two setae of the mid-row stronger than others. Labral edge unmodified. Frontoclypeal field with 4+5 setae, of which the posterior 5 are ciliated. Labial palps with a normal papillary complex, with proximal setae. Papilla E with 4 guards. Basal fields with 4 median and 5 lateral setae. Maxillary palp simple, sublobal hairs absent. Maxilla with 3-toothed capitulum and a fused pad-shaped lamellary complex which is not easily interpreted. Tip of longest lamella reaches beyond capitulate teeth. Top of head with 1+1 long trichobothria. Haed with 3+3 postlabial setae. Thorax and abdomen with macrochaetae and ciliated setae only along sides, not on dorsal disc.
