Stridulatory area oval, formed by 24 – 28 transverse carinae, with a group of setae beside it. Maxillae symmetrical (Fig. 2 e – h), mala setose and with a weak dorsal separation between galea and lacinia. Galea with a conical uncus, dorsal surface with 15 setae and a longitudinal row of 6 robust spine-like setae, ventral surface with 13 setae. Lacinia with a truncate uncus, dorsal surface with 32 setae. Palpus 4 - segmented: III with 1 seta, IV with several minute apical sensilla.
