 finely tuberculate. Head as in the male but proportionately shorter, 

 the interspace between the eyes broader, and the eyes themselves not 

 so elongate; antennse triqueteous, rather short, but slightly exceeding 

 the head in length. Pronotum as in the male, but the traces of the 

 lateral carinse slight, and the posterior emargination more pro- 

 nounced. Ovipositor jaws rather straight, blunt, compressed. Pos- 

 terior limbs weak, in fact hardly exceeding the male limbs in size, 

 the femora not exceeding the fifth abdominal segment in length.

 sprinkled and washed with dull olive. Eyes walnut-brown; antennse 

 olivaceous at the bases, washed with sienna apically. Under surface 

 buffy.
