Both sexes can be distinguished by the bowed out clypeus, the elongate glossa, galea, and palpi, and the usually distinct humeral angles of the pronotum. The labial palpi are extraordinarily long but the maxillary palpi are elongate proportionally to the elongate galea and glossa. Both sexes have well formed apical pale tergal fasciae (LaBerge 1986).
