Cephalis pear-shaped, with irregular, square pores, and a slender bristle-shaped horn twice as long. Length of the two joints = 1: 3, breadth = 1: 5. Thorax in its whole extent with parallel transverse bars, which are crossed by two converging and crossed systems of parallel beams; in each of its three sides descend five convergent pairs of stronger, parallel, curved ribs, the two or three upper of which are crossed at the peristome. Each of the three vertical wings with five stronger ribs, three arising from the cephalis and the horn, two from each foot.

Cephalis 50µm long, 50µm broad; thorax 150µm long, 220µm broad.

Dedicated to my dear second wife Agnes Huschke.
