 0.69. General color black to brown; vertex and thorax shinmg 

 black to light brown above, flavous ventrad; abdomen dark, except

 yellow except at tip ; legs pale yellow, femora partially brown ; wings

 line, very slightly pubescent; genal cones about haK as long as 

 vertex, more or less divergent, subhorizontal, scarcely visible from 

 directly above, acute at tip, slightly pubescent. Antennae about as 

 long as "width of head, rather thick, black at tip. 



Thorax strongly arched, strigate dorsad; pronotum rather long. 

 Fore wings oval, about two and one- third times as long as broad,
