distance slightly less than the interocular space, apex rotund ato-trun- 

 cate, rounded and with no distinct angles; frontal fastigium broadly 

 touching the blunt ventral process of the rostrum; eyes subovate, 

 small, not prominent. Pronotum broad, rather deplanate dorsad, no 

 distinct lateral angles, a slightly marked shoulder developed over the 

 humeral sinus; cephalic margin truncate with a very faint median 

 emargination ; caudal margin truncate; lateral lobes distinctly longer 

 than deep, ventral margin rounded with a faint median obtuse angle, 

 humeral sinus distinct but not deep. Tegmina not reaching the apex 

 of the abdomen, sublanceolate, the apex very narrowly rounded; 

 longitudinal veins indistinct and almost lost in the irregular, reticulate 

 character of the cross veins, mediastine veins extending almost half 

 the length of the tegmen, median vein closely pressed to the posterior 

 radial vein and extending to the extreme apex, anterior ulnar vein 

 distinctly longitudinal in disposition and distad parallel and placed close 

 to the median vein. Wings considerably shorter than the tegmina. 

 Ovipositor very long, broad and with a hardly perceptible curve, the 

 length being almost equal to that of the body and nearly twice that of 

 the caudal femora, apex very acute; subgenital plate narrowed toward 

 the apical margin, apex triangularly emarginate. Cephalic femora 

 short, with two spines on the distal portion of the interno-vcntral 

 margin, tibiae with the aperture slit-like. Median limbs about equal 

 to the cephalic in size. Caudal femora slightly exceeding the apex of 

 the abdomen, apical portion not very slender, both ventral margins 

 spined distad, genicular lobes distinctly spined. 



General color cinnamon, two faint longitudinal lines of umber present 

 on the sides of the disk of the pronotum.
