the prozona, median carina distinct, more elevated on the prozona 

 than on the metazona; lateral lobes distinctly deeper than long, 

 impressed mesad, ventro-caudal angle well rounded. Tegmina four 

 and one-half times as long as the greatest dorsal length of the pronotum, 

 the greatest width, which is nearly median when the tegmen is flat- 

 tened, being equal to the length of the pronotum, the distal third of 

 the tegmina extending caudad of the apex of the abdomen; costal 

 margin with the expansion broad and low, the distal fourth decidedly 

 arcuate, the apical portion narrowed and the apical margin oblique- 

 truncate, the true apex well rounded. Wings moderately broad, the 

 width being about three-fifths of the length, the shape hardly falcate; 

 costal margin arcuate in the distal fourth; humeral field with the 

 apex well rounded acute-angulate ; axillary field with the margin

very slightly arcuate, not at all lobate; posterior axillary vein with its 

 ramus paralleling the anterior ulnar vein very closely for a consider- 

 able distance or by variation coalescing with it mesad for the length 

 of a single cell ; radiate veins considerably thickened. Caudal femora 

 somewhat slender, the ventral carina arcuate, sublamellate ; caudal 

 tibiae with nine to ten spines. 



General color cream strongly and conspicuously speckled with 

 numerous annular and quadrate spots of olive, becoming blackish 

 on portions of the male type. These maculations are distributed 

 roughly as follows : three transverse poorly defined and broken bars 

 on the tegmina, the median narrower than the others ; a central patch 

 on the disk of the prozona and cephalic portion of the metazona, 

 obsolete caudad; sprinklings on the occiput, gense and face; several 

 rather solid blotches on the lateral lobes of the prozona, a postocular
