brown band from above base of antennae to vertex, joining the 

 one from the other side below the apex of the head and another 

 similar fainter band behind and parallel to this passing behind the 

 vertex; mouth brown, width .7 mm. Body light green, not 

 shiny, transversely annulated, the two dorsal and subdorsal lines 

 distinct, narrow, pale yellow, with even edges; they run the whole 

 length of the body, and the subdorsal line is slightly wider than 

 the dorsal one. Anal plate rounded, projecting with some pale

 joint 2, but the dorsal one terminates at the beginning of the 

 anal plate. There is a substigmatal ridge, above which is a band

 grass-green, minutely clotted with black; labrum whitish, jaws 

 black, ocelli black, ringed with white, five in number, the lower
