Pale gray-green, the green prevailing in the female, the gray in the 

 male, both marked with fuscous in the usual manner. Head moderately 

 large and prominent, the face rather pallid and moderately oblique, more

 with fuscous. Tegmina somewhat surpassing the abdomen, the median 

 area maculate with fuscous, the discoidal area of the basal half in the
