This view of the head shows the lighter colored band along the edge of the head and across the back of the head. The most posterior clusters of ocelli are near the posterior end of the band along the border.

This view of the front of the head (contracted, alcohol-preserved specimen) shows the combined mouth and proboscis at the front of the head. Photo by Dave Cowles, March 2010
