ANTENNAL CLUB ( Figs. 8 View FIGURE 8 , 9a, b View FIGURE 9 ). The scaleless club is 541.7 µm in length.

ANTENNOMERES ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 a–d). This species has four scaleless antennomeres, and the distal two are fused; they are depressed, and the maximum ratio (l:w) is 1:5.

SULCI AND PSEUDOSULCI ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 a-e). There are 3–4 central and 8 lateral, which extend toward the dorsal surface from the second antennomere. There are sulci in the basal antennomere, and they are irregular; the central ones are longer than wide, and the laterals are wider than long. The central sulci occupy the length of antennomere, forming a continuous groove.

MICROTRICHIA ( Fig. 9f View FIGURE 9 , h–k). There are microtrichia m1, m2, and m4. The st:m1 ratio in the central sulci is 1:2 and 1:3.5.

TRICHOID SENSILLA ( Fig. 9f, g View FIGURE 9 ). The number of trichoid sensilla in the central sulci is variable: 16–52 for a total of 108 in one specimen, and 11–38 for a total of 84 in another specimen.

CHAETIC SENSILLA ( Fig. 9h View FIGURE 9 ). These sensilla average ca. 31 µm in length. On the ventral surface there are up to four sensilla per antennomere; those around to the central sulcus are located toward the middle part of the antennomere. There are a similar number of sensilla on dorsal surface, but without any order, and they are located toward the distal edge of the antennomere.

BASICONIC SENSILLA ( Fig. 9i View FIGURE 9 ). Basiconic sensilla are present on the ventral surface, although they are not abundant; there are few or none on the dorsal surface.

AURICULATE SENSILLA ( Fig. 9k, l View FIGURE 9 ). The auriculate sensilla are distributed with the basiconic sensilla and sometimes in the periphery of the sulci.

COELOCONIC SENSILLA ( Fig. 9 j View FIGURE 9 ). The sensilla sc1 are abundant on the ventral surface and frequent on the dorsal surface.
