Description . — Blackish brown, the surface thickly strewn with fine whitish 
fiianules, forming a distinct iiattern especially on connexivum; basal exjian- 
sions of corium and some of the veins, discal siiots and apical angles of con- , 
nexival segments, and disc of genital lobes, dull yellowish; dorsum black, 
with triangular extensions along connexival suture; antennae and rostrum 
black; legs black, the tibiae paler, a])ices of femora and tibiae dull reddish 
yellow; ventral surface of abdomen black to reddish brown, with indefinite

slightly arcuate from base, sinuate toward the rounded apex, slightly elevated 
at middle; base slightly elevated, with thri'c very faint longitudinal carinae.
