For other measurements see Table 3.</p><p>Body habitus and pubescence (Fig. 1A, B): Body elongate, whitish, sclerotized parts brown. Head capsule, urogomphi and dorsal part of abdominal segment IX heavily sclerotized, dark brown (urogomphi lighter than tergite IX); prosternum, protergum and mesotergum with sclerotized brown plates; metathorax and abdomen up to segment VIII whitish. Cranium with long sparse pubescence dispersed irregularly (c. 50-60 setae on dorsal side and c. 20 setae on ventral side); dorsum of thoracic segments with c. 10-15 long setae; legs with few long setae; abdominal segments I-VIII with dorsally about 2-4 long and laterally about 5 setae; sides of abdominal segments IX-X with dense and long pubescence, urogomphi also with long setae. Ventral sides of thoracic and abdominal segments with shorter and sparser pubescence. - Head: Cranium approximately as wide as long, lateral sides weakly rounded (convex), its anterior margin wider than base (Table 1; Figs 1C, 4C); five stemmata occur on each side with the formula 2+3 (two posterior and three anterior) (Fig. 2C); frontal arms distinctly Y-shaped, with branches curved at half their length and divergent (Fig. 4C); median endocarina absent (Fig. 1C); frontoclypeal suture present (Fig. 1A, C); gular sutures widely separated, subparallel, virtually extending to anterior part of cranium (Fig. 5); hypostomal rods absent; paragular sclerites absent. Gular region membranous and pale, its middle part nearly reaching midpoint of cranium so that the maxillolabial complex reaches slightly beyond half of cranium; head capsule is ventrally open, without bridge along anterior margin (Figs 1D, 5). - Antennae (Figs 1D; 2B, D): 3-segmented, 1st antennomere shorter than 2nd, the latter obliquely truncated and shorter than 3rd; sensory appendix relatively short and stout, triangular, not extending behind one quarter of 3rd antennomere, which is relatively slender and long, with long seta on apex. - Mandible (Figs 1D, 2A): bidentate (Fig. 2A), that is with two apical teeth situated side by side; other mandibular structures not visible in fossil. - Maxilla (Figs 2D, 5): mala small, triangular, with at least 3 thick long setae along outer margin; pedunculate seta not observed; palpi 3-segmented, 1st and 2nd palpomeres equal in length, terminal palpomere coniform and longer than 1 or 2; cardo and stipes distinctly separated; cardo narrow and transverse, much smaller than stipes (Fig. 5). - Labium (Figs 1A, 2A, 5): ligula small, pale, membranous, ciliate, rounded; palpi 2-segmented, terminal palpomere cylindrical, about twice as long as basal palpomere; prementum in single part (not divided); border of postmentum not conspicuous. - Labrum (Figs 1C, 2E, 5): free; anterior margin wide and convex, with about 6 long setae (Fig. 5); other details not visible. - Thorax (Fig. 1A, B, C): protergum heavily sclerotized and pigmented, with single large tergal plate longitudinally divided by medial suture; mesotergum with pair of small but distinctly pigmented and sclerotized tergites; structure of metatergum the same as that of mesotergum, but sclerites slightly smaller (Fig. 1C). Ventral part of pro-, meso- and metathorax without distinctly pigmented sclerites. - Legs (Fig. 1B, C): Coxae projecting; trochanters rather triangular; femora longer than tibiae; tarsunguli without visible setae. - Abdomen: segments I-VIII membranous, their terga without sclerites (tergites) or pigmented plates (Figs 1A, 2E); segment IX with single tergite (not transversely divided into two parts) bearing a pair of slender hooked urogomphi (Fig. 2E); median process or glandular openings on or between urogomphi not visible, but it is possible that a pair of membranous appendages are present approximately at the centre of tergite IX; urogomphi without large tubercles, relatively slender, conspicuously turned upwards, well-developed (Fig. 1E; cf. Fig. 3B, D).</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The specific epithet honours Robert Constantin (Saint Lô, France), the eminent specialist of beetles in the melyrid lineage and leading authority on their larvae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/F55BC91937A15F348681EE1283FCDD22	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
