 1.49): 2.56(2.40-2.89); anterior margin deeply bimarginate; lateral 

 margins entire, middle third straight or very weakly concave, sub- 

 marginal row with about 30 to 35 setigerous punctures; transverse 

 impression obsolete, usually marked by medially interrupted row of 

 moderate punctures; anterior lobe with numerous small punctures 

 subapically and laterally; posterior lobe with several u-regular, small 

 punctures and many minute punctures. 



Scutellum: Length equal to, longer than, or shorter than width, 

 1.59(1.49-1.89): 1.66(1.56-1.82); wealdy alutaceous, disc with nu- 

 merous well-separated large punctures and many minute punctures 

 mterspersed, occasionally with small, transverse rugae. 



Hemelytron: Clavus and corium distinctly alutaceous; clavus with 

 numerous distinct punctures, somewhat arranged in rows; mesocorium 

 with numerous distmct punctures, with one and usually a second 

 complete row of punctures paralleling claval suture; exocorium with 

 numerous distinct punctures over entire length; costa with 15 to 20 

 setigerous punctures; membranal suture nearly straight, lateral angle 

 not produced; membrane longer than basal width, reaching or sur- 

 passing apex of abdomen. 



Propleuron : Feebly to distinctly alutaceous, impunctate. 



Mesopleuron: Lateral area unpunctate. 



Metapleurou : Lateral area impunctate. 



Sternitcs : Each with submedian transverse row of setigerous punc- 

 tures; alutaceous, rougliened on lateral thu'd by short, longitudinal 

 rugae. 



Terminalia: Genital capsule punctate in lateral angle, apical margin 

 entire or weakly sinuate medially; gonostylus (fig. 195) without mesal 

 projection at dorsal angle. 



Length of body: 4.22(4.00-4.57). 



Female: Similar to male, measurements mostly averaging larger. 



Head: Length-width ratio, 0.79(0.76-0.90) : 1.27(1.20-1.36); inter- 

 ocular width,0.85(0.80-0.90). Antennal segments: 1,0.28(0.26-0.30) ;II,
