Large facets of eyes pale brownish-yellow, the small facets nearly black. Frontal triangle extremely small, yellowish-grey dusted. Antennae with first joint moderately long and thick, broadly cylindrical, tapering at base; second joint shorter and narrower than first; subcylindrical, both with short black, stiff hairs; third joint of normal shape, bare, a little longer than first and second together, with five annulations, the last four being black, basal annulation and first and second joints wholly orange. Whole underside of head shining honey-yellow, a medium-sized yellow-dusted space on each side of face contiguous to eye margin. Proboscis and palpi a little deeper coloured, former with labella black. Occiput ash-grey dusted, lower part yellowish with a little pale soft hair.
