Head narrower than pronotum. Vertex long, wider at base and 

 narrowed towards the apex, produced about one-third its length beyond 

 the eyes, carinas distinct. Frons long and narrow, tricarinate. Second 

 antennal segment three times as long as first; seta fuscous, twice the 

 length of the second segment. Pronotum slightly shorter than vertex, 

 tricarinate, the lateral carina well-rounded and attaining the hind 

 margin. Scutellum over one and a half times as long as pronotum, 

 tricarinate. Calcar large, but rather slender.

 yellowish -brown, a fuscous spot on inner margin at junction of claval 

 and commisural veins; radio-medial cross-vein and apical ones at their

 the cross-veins, is deeply infuscated, forming a large round spot. 

 Abdomen pale in female, more infuscated in male. Legs lineated with 

 fuscous.
