Black, the mandibles except the teeth, tegula*, the basal 2 abdominal segments 

 except on the top, the 3rd except for a broad black line, which extends from the base 

 lo near the apex above, the sides of the 4th, the red mark narrowed at the base, 

 roundly dilated towards the apex, the 4 front legs, the apex of the hind femora and 

 their tibia* and tarsi, bright red; wings clear hyaline, the nervures black; the 3rd abscissa 

 of radius about one fourth of the length of the 2nd; the 1st recurrent nervure received 

 at the apex of the basal third of the cellule. Pronotum very weakly, sparsely punctured; 

 mesonotum transversely striated, the stria 1 roundly curved, especially towards the apex 

 where they are stronger; the base in the centre aciculated, the sides punctured and with 

 some fine transverse striae. Scutellum punctured distinctly, the sides finely longitudinally 

 striated. Metanotum transversely rugose, the sides punctured and densely covered with 

 silvery longish pubescence. Pro- and mesopleura? densely covered with longish silvery
