 nounced posteriorly and becoming very strong and sharp on posterior process ; 

 posterior process high and tectiform, slightly sinuate before, abruptly acute, 

 and extending just to the internal angle of the tegmina ; posterior process with 

 lateral carinse beginning at apex and extending forward near margin as far as 

 middle of exposed part of scutellum. Tegmina clear hyaline, without mark-

 posterior process, the shape of the head and the coloration of the 

 wings. It may be recognized by the high black ridge of the posterior 

 process.

 pvmctate and sparsely covered with yellowish pubescence. Head ahnost twice 

 as broad as long, clypeus very distinct ; eyes cloudy, mottled with dark brown ;
