Description . — Dark to light brown; iironotum with irregular darker mark- 
ings especially on median carinae, postero-lateral areas, and sometimes on 
anterior explanate margins; scutellum with dark brown markings, the sides 
pale at middle, or .sometimes wholly black; corium dark along inner apical 
margin; connexival segments with a triangular patch ot tlark granules an- 
teriorly and a smaller one posteriorly; sutures of abdominal segments black; 
antennae yellowish; legs yellowish, the femora and tibiae with broad medial 
and narrow apical or subapical dark annulations; ventral surface reddish 
brown, with paler mottling. 
Head a little longer than broad (48 to 43), as long as pronotum; tylus short, 
broad, the sides parallel; imiiressions ol vertex rather short, deep, almost 
jiarallel ; preocular tubercles distinct, rather acute; antenniterous spines short, 
conical, moderately divergent, with distinct lateral tooth; antennae (fig. 2c) 
slender, cylindrical, shorter than head and pronotum together (80 to 01), 
the first segment extending well beyond mitldle of tylus, the second as long 
as distance between eyes; rostrum extending somewhat beyond middle ot 
prosternum. Pronotum (fig. 2d) with lateral margins widely expanded and 
moderately reflexed, with irregular teeth anteriorly and fine ones posteriorly; 
carinae well elevated; transverse ilepression distinct; surface smooth jios- 
teriorly between carinae. Scutellum narrow, slightly longer than pronotum 
(50 to 48); sides strongly elevated, nearly parallel in basal third, then sinuate 
to acute apex; basal portion of disc very slightly elevated, with low median 
Carina. Hemielytra (cf) strongly narrowed from liasal expansion to apex, 
disclosing abdominal disc at sides, e.xtending to genital lobes, corium extend- 
ing somewhat beyond middle of fourth segment; hemielytra (9) similarly 
narrowed, reaching dorsal genital segment, corium to or somewhat beyond 
apex of third. Abdomen oval, broader in female, lateral margins variably 
crenate. 
cT (fig. 2b). Fifth and sixth ventral segments about ecpial in length; 
genital segment short, slightly convex, carinate, the lobes long, Length, 
8 to 9 mm. 
9 (fig. 2a). Dorsal genital segment semicircular, the posterior margin 
almost straight. Length, 9.5 to 11 mm.
