Frontal sutures indistinct; antennal foramen closed posteriorly. Mouthframe very broadly sclerotized, ferruginous. Frons smooth, testaceous behind front margin; six epistomal setae present. One pair of ocelli present; lens round, strongly convex and partly obscured by sclerotization of gena; pigmented spot indistinct.
