sometimes with a continuous pale stripe above. Foveolae of the 

 vertex oblong-rhomboidal, not elongated ; frontal ridge convex, 

 impress-punctate; antennae concolorous. Pronotum obtusely 

 angulated behind, with the hinder area punctate, and the principal 

 sulcus placed distinctly behind the middle, the lateral carina; 

 angiilately inftexed in the middle. Tegmina imperfectly developed 

 (at least in the female), only extending as far as the middle of the 

 hind femora ; mediastinal area with a distinct spurious nervure. 

 Mesosternal lobes separated by a rather narrower space tliau 

 their width ; metasternal lobes closely approximating behind the 

 foveola?. Hind femora indistinctly banded with bro\\"U ; hind 

 tibisB red, Avith a slightly paler ring at the base. 



Length 17 mm.; pronotum, 8*8 mm.; tegmina, 7'5 mm.; hind

Body moderately compressed : pale reddisli. Antennae rather 

 long, extending as far as the hind coxae in the male. Foveolae of 

 the vertex rhomboidal, broader in front; frontal I'idge impress- 

 punctate, rather broad at the base, and impressed as far as the 

 eyes ; head often with a broad brown band behind the eyes, con- 

 taining a pale line. Pronotum obtusely angulated behind, the 

 disk rather smooth, the margins intersected by a brown band, the 

 lateral carinte nearly parallel in front, but slightly flexuous in the 

 middle, and often rather indistinct in the male ; on the hinder 

 area they are wide apart, and the callus white ; upper half of the 

 deflexed lobes brown. Tegmina extending nearly to the tip of 

 the hind femora, the anal area paler, and the mediastinal area 

 occupying the basal third in the male ; the scapular area in the 

 male expanded in the middle, and marked in the female with a 

 narrow pale line ; the third radial nervure in the female forked in 

 the middle of the tegmina, and the discoidal area reticulated, the 

 ulnar veins diverging behind. Metasternal lobes contiguous in the 

 male, and almost so in the female. Hind femora with the outer 

 area infuscated to the upper carina, and indistinctly trifasciate 

 with brown, and the knees brown on both sides ; hind tibiae 

 reddish, with grey pubescence. 



Length 15-20 mm.; pronotum, 2*8-4 mm.; tegmina, 11'5-15 

 mm. ; hind femur, 9-11*5 mm.
