wings clear, the front wings carmine, and the hind wings brown at 

 base, the color, however, not occupying as much as one-fourth the

 not longer than the cell caudad of it; front wings with about twenty- 

 four antenodal cross-veins. 



Abdomen dark brown ; second tergum marked with a paler trans- 

 verse band beyond the middle, the lateral margins also pale ; terga 

 three to six paler along the lateral margins, with narrow basal rings 

 interrupted on the dorso-meson ; segments seven to nine inclusive all 

 dull black, the sternum of the tenth buff; anal appendages (Fig. 119) 

 consisting of heavy black superiors, more than twice as long as the 

 inferiors, and having a few tubercles on the lateral surfaces of the 

 apical half, the mesal surfaces with basal knobs and thick subapical 

 projections; inferiors dark brown, reddish at base, short, and with 

 small apical points directed dorsad.

Head similar to that of the male. 



Thorax pale brownish, yellow, and green, the dorsal carina 

 black, the supraepisterna of the mesothorax with a median elongate 

 spot extending cephalad from the wing bases half-way to the cephalic

 elongate spots about the middle and nearer the ventral than the dorsal 

 margin; wings without carmine, the bases with only a slight tinge of 

 brown; stigma nearly white, and surmounting one to one and a half 

 cells ; antenodal cross-veins of the front wing twenty-one, postnodal 

 cross-veins twenty-six. 



Abdomen similar in general color to that of the male, but the lateral 

 margins of terga eight to ten yellowish brown; dorsal carina of the 

 tenth tergum produced into a long blunt spine, beyond the apex of 

 the segment; ovipositor short, brownish yellow, the prostyles slender
