This is very closely allied to the preceding species. Stal gives nothing more than 
colour-differentia, which, though great and apparently constant, leaves still much 
doubt as to their real specific divergence.

The head is much elongated and the central lobe acutely prominent; the lateral 
-pronotal angles are strongly and acutely produced; and the body is obovate and 
lengthened. Four species (all Neotropical forms) are enumerated, of which three have 
been already received from Central America: as pointed out by Stal, they are easily 
separable, apart from other characters, by the colour of the legs. 
Legs pale luteous, generally spotted with black.
