This is an inconspicuous form in some respects allied to the 

 species of the genus Mimetica, especially in the posteriorly 

 notched pronotal disk. 



Description (9, the $ unknown). — Head roughened by 

 small granular tubercles ; face flat, the scutellum narrowed 

 above and disappearing between the oppressed apices of the 

 moderately developed and somewhat elevated antennal scrobae ; 

 fastigium of the vertex small and triangular, dorsally sulcate, 

 slightly elevated and fitted closely between the antennal scrobae 

 and not nearly attaining their tips ; eyes slightly irregularly 

 rounded and very moderately prominent, behind each a slightly 

 elevated colored line representing lateral caringe continuous 

 with those of the pronotum ; antennae with the basal segment 

 large, flat above, the second segment considerably smaller and 

 somewhat shorter, the succeeding ones cylindrical, the joints 

 not very conspicuous. Pronotum slightly concave dorsally, the 

 disk slightly narrower anteriorly than posteriorly, the anterior 

 margin slightly and broadly concave, the posterior margin very 

 broadly angulate and with a small mesial notch ; lateral carinae 

 sharp and straight, somewhat roughened by tubercles ; lateral 

 lobes nearly quadrate, the lower and anterior margins broadly 

 rounded, the former nearly horizontal, the hind margin 

 straight to the deep but obtuse sinus ; prosternum unarmed, 

 meso- and metasterni armed with a pair of short acute spines, 

 the pits merged. Organs of flight fully developed ; tegmina 

 shaped as shown in Plate II, figure 30, and very closely resem- 

 bling a leaf, there being even a transparent fungus-like spot 

 in the middle of the posterior field ; wings very broad apically 

 and rounded, the costal margin considerably curved upward ;
