l)escri})tion . — Dark brown, with extensive jiale markings, giving a general 
light brown effect; antennae light brown, apex of second and apical halt of 
third j)ale, fourth black; i)reocular tubercles and antenniferous si)ines yellow 
at a])ex; ])ostero-lateral region of pronotum and carinae posteriorly yellow; 
basal exi)ansion, exce))! anteriorly, and discal veins of coriuin yellow, the 
cells hyaline; membrane hyaline, with pale brown maculation; connexivum 
moderately dark brown, the segments posteriorly, and the inner margins of 
genital lol)es, yellow; legs reddish brown, ai)ices of femora i)ale; rostrum 
and ventral surface dark reddish l)rown, the abdomen marked laterally with 
yelk)w. 
Head as long as broad, longer than jironotum (21 to 17) ; tyliis short, broad, 
slightly bulbous; im])ressi(ms of vertex moderately deej), irregular, widely 
sejjarated, a little divergent anteriorly; preocular tubercles large, rather 
acute; antenniferous si)ines long, slender, strongly divergent, with a very 
small lateral tooth near base; ])osto(ailar tubercles ])rominent, rounded; 
antennae (fig. .'lOc) slender, shorter than head and ])ronotum together (d.'i 
to dl)); the first segment reaching middle of tylus, and but little beyond ai)ices 
of antenniferous spines, the second in length al)out ecpial to width of head 
between eyes; rostrum extending over anterior third of mesosternum. Pro- 
notum (fig. .50(1) moderately convex, the lateral margins narrowly expanded 
and slightly reflexed, finely granulated, with a few small teeth anteriorly; 
carinae slender, slightly elevated. Scutelhmi long('r than ])ronotum (21 to 
17), shield-shaped, its width equal to length of i)ronotum; sides slightly 
curved, strongly elevated except at rounded apex; discal elevation triangidar; 
extreme base depressed. Ilemiclytra (cf) extending almost to apex of ab- 
domen, corium to apex of fourth segment, connexivum jjartially exi)oscd at 
sides; elytra ( 9 ) narrowed but slightly toward apex, ex])osing c(jnnexivum at 
sides, extending to middle or nearly to apex of dorsal genital segment, corium 
to middle or apex of fourth; exocorium scarcely exi)anded ; whole corium wit h 
numerous rather ])oorly develo]ied transverse veins, not hyaline. 
cT (fig. .oOb). Fifth ventral segment a little shorter than sixth; genital 
segment slightly convex, rather long, the hjbes short; abdcmien ovate, broad- 
est l)ehind middle, margins almost entire. Length, 4 mm. 
9 (fig. -50a). Posterior margin of dorsal genital segment slightly arcuate, 
faintly emarginate at middle; abdomen narrowly oval, the lateral margins 
almost entire. Length, 5 mm.

Of this well-marked species no specimens have come to light 
since the discovery of the original series hy Schwarz. Ui'om 
allied forms it is readily distinguished hy its coloration as well 
as hy details of antennal, pronotal, and gtmitalic structmon
