 continued posteriorly on to the occiput, lateral carince of the scutellum 

 low, but distinct; lateral foveolse subc[uadrate, slightly excavated; 

 frontal costa broad at and below the ocellus, slightly constricted below 

 the latter, superiorly contracted and with an mdistinct median carina, 

 broadly sulcate at and for quite a distance below the ocellus; eye sub- 

 ovate, equal in length to the infraocular portion of the gena3; anternse 

 of medium length, slender basally, apically somewhat expanded and 

 depressed. Pronotum with the disk of the prozona rather inflated, 

 that of the metazona depressed; median carina distinct, but not high, 

 subequal in height; anterior margin very obtusely angulate, posterior 

 margin rectangulate with the angle rounded and the remainder of the 

 margin rather sinuate; surface of the prozona rugose, of the metazona 

 longitudinally verrucose; lateral lobes deeper than wide, subequal in 

 breadth, inferior margin roundeel with the angles not pronounced. 

 Interval between the metasternal lobes slightly longer than broad. 

 Tegmina exceeding the posterior femora by about one-fifth their total 

 length, rather broad, apex obliquely truncate; dilation of the costal 

 margin basal and very pronounced ; intercalary vein nearer the ulnar 

 vein proximally, nearer the meelian vein distally. Wings wdth the 

 apex slightly falcate. Posterior femora rather slender (for the genus), 

 the apical half tapering without any curve; posterior tibia; slightly
