Longitudinal region between lateral labral lobes weakly sclerotized (Fig. 12), anteromedian emargination with two transverse rows each with of ~6 short peg-like sensilla. Epipharynx virtually lacking microtrichia; tormae converging and narrowing posterad, with posterior ends slightly curved mesad and rounded. Clypeolabral connecting membrane (Fig. 7; com) exposed, about half as long as labrum.
