 notal process, shining black; lateral borders from humeral angles half way 

 to apex broadly pale yellow; apex far surpassing tip of abdomen, but not 

 quite reaching apices of tegmina. Tegmina transparent yellow, with a 

 broad stripe extending from base to apex of corium, interior border of cla- 

 vus.and nearly all of apical cells nearly black. Wings with four apical 

 cells, second small, sessile, fourth very small. Body below yellow, sides
