Dorsal chaetotaxy of head as in Figs 14 View Figures 7–19 , 15 View Figures 7–19 , An series with six mac, A with four mac or mes, S with eight mac, P with two mac. Eyes 8+8, G & H smaller than others; interocular chaetae as p, r, t; frontal spines 4+4, all serrate (Figs 16 View Figures 7–19 , 17 View Figures 7–19 ). Prelabral chaetae four, ciliate; labral chaetae 5, 5, 4, smooth and pointed, a0, a1 longer than a2; labral papillae absent (Figs 18 View Figures 7–19 , 19 View Figures 7–19 ). Basal chaeta on maxillary outer lobe thick and blunt; sublobal plate with three smooth chaetae-like processes (Figs 20 View Figures 20–25 , 21 View Figures 20–25 ). Lateral process (l. p.) of labial palp E differentiated, as thick as normal chaeta, with tip not reaching apex of papilla E (Figs 22 View Figures 20–25 , 23 View Figures 20–25 ).
