Mouthparts well developed, maxillary
palpus and labial
palpus covered with light brown scales.
The Drosophila maxillary
palpus is a highly derived sensory appendage.
Colour: Head orange, except for black
palpus and swollen part of frontal vitta; notum and upper pleuron brick-red; foreleg black, except tarsus; tarsomeres 1-3 white, distal tarsomeres dark; mid femur black with orange apex, mid femur orange at base and apex; abdomen black, except for extreme base and white fasciae across pleuron on segments 2 and 3 (Fig.

Left
palpus in prolateral view (A, G), left
palpus in ventral view (B, H), left
palpus in retrolateral view (C, I), habitus dorsal (D, J), habitus ventral (E, K) and habitus lateral (F, L).
Mouthparts: labellum triangular in frontal view, with microsetae;
palpus 3-segmented (Fig.
Labrum long-attenuate with two pairs of ventral setae; labella hemispherical, each with some lateral setae and two pairs of short setae;
palpus with four segments: 1st segment shortest, globose as long as wide, 2nd-4th segments cylindrical, 2nd segment widest, 1.5 as long as wide; 3rd segment 3 times as long as wide, 4th segment longest, 3.5 times as long as wide, all with widely scattered setae and scales.
The members of the tribe Bulaeini were also differentiated from the other tribes of the subfamily Coccinellinae by having clypeus with broad anterolateral emerginations; gena never extending on to eye; mandible large with bifid apex; maxillary
palpus with terminal segment with dosrsal margin strongly produced anteriorly weakly securiform; pronotum convex anteriorly never excavated anterolaterally.
Palpus with slight apical dilation, no more than twice the palpal base width (Fig.
