Head with short setae, additional setae absent, anteropseudocular (ap), postpseudocular (pp) and lateral (ls) setae present; labrum slightly protruded (Figs. 1, 2). Setae of hind margin of head slightly differentiated, their length ratio 1: 2: 3 as 1.4: 1.7: 1. Pseudoculus abbreviated, with distinct posterior projection, PR = 22 (Fig. 7). Maxillary gland with small, distinctly granulated calyx, long posterior filament and distinct posterior dilation, CF = 5.6 (Fig. 8). Maxillary palps with slender subequal sensilla; labial palps with terminal tuft and broad sensillum (Figs. 5, 6). Granulation on inner margin of labium not visible in holotype, but in other female distinct granulation present. Nota with short setae; accessory setae P1a and P2a very short, sensillum-like (Fig. 3), P3a distinctly longer and setiform (Fig. 20 A). Pronotal seta 2 nearly equal in length with seta 1. Setae M short, thin. Length ratio of mesonotal setae P1: P1a: P2 as 6.7: 1: 9.3. P2a situated nearer to P3 than to P2. Seta M2 on prosternum absent; A2 on thoracic sternites short, sensillum-like (Fig. 20 E); other setae of normal shape. Meso- and metanotum with pores sl and al. Thoracic sternal pores not seen.
