hairs ; base of head elevated and strongly sinuate, highest above ocelli ; 

 eyes gray, elongate, much wider than high ; ocelli small, brown, not 

 conspicuous, protruding, about equidistant from each other and from 

 the eyes and situated about on an imaginary line drawn through cen- 

 ters of eyes; inferior margin of genae convex, protruding, sinuate; 

 clypeus three times as long as broad, brown in centre, darker at mar- 

 gins, luteous at tip, extending for more than two-thirds its length 

 below inferior margins of genae, punctate, pubescent, tip rounded, 

 swollen, pilose with long white hairs. 



Pronotum yellow with a spot over each eye, the tips of the horns 

 and the apical half of the posterior process black, the area behind the 

 horns and before the base of the posterior process brown, the entire 

 pronotum finely punctate and densely pubescent with white or grayish 

 hairs ; metopidium much wider than high, slightly sloping, somewhat 

 convex and swollen in center, entirely light yellow except for a black 

 callosity above each eye ; median carina distinctly percurrent ; humeral 

 angles large, prominent, triangular, blunt, extending outward almost 

 as far as the suprahumeral horns above them; suprahumeral horns 

 short, heavy, blunt, somewhat flattened dorso-ventrally, about one- 

 fourth as long as the distance between their bases, brown with the 

 tips black, extending outward and upward but not at all forward or 

 backward, apices blunt, roughly carinate and slightly bent downward; 

 between the two suprahumeral horns and on a line with them are two 

 other horns which are short, conical, blunt, yellow with black tips, 

 extending almost directly upward, about equidistant from each other 

 and from the suprahumerals and about as long as the distance be- 

 tween their bases; scutellum plainly exposed on each side, about as 

 long as broad, strongly bidentate, base brown, punctate and pubescent, 

 tip yellow ; posterior process short, slightly upraised, basal half nar-

 the cells. Apparently five apical and three discoidal cells. Marginal 

 membrane very narrow. 



Sides of thorax brown, punctate and pubescent. The white arc 

 made by the fascia just before the base of the tegmen is continued 

 downward over the sides of the metathorax and mesothorax and up- 

 ward over the pronotum by a line of white tomentose pubescence. 

 Abdomen brown, margins of segments lighter. Femora brown; tibiae
