Antenna very short, with only 37 segments, each with 1 (basal)-3 (apical segments) rows of 2-4 comparatively short sensilla chaetica. Scape 0.29 mm, pedicel 0.16 mm long. Third antennal segment the longest (0.31 mm), fourth the shortest (0.05 mm). All segments (except scape 0.15 mm at apex) very wide (0.1 mm). Labial palp slender, long (0.31/ 0.07 mm), with dense sensilla chaetica, very dense at apex (10 apical sensilla chaetica on dorsal side).
