Size medium to large. Body not compressed. Thorax of 
female somewhat depressed, broad; disk of pronotum flat, its 
hind margin about rectangulate, the mid-carina uniformly low 
but distinct, cut twice by the sulci; lateral lobes much deeper 
than long, usually angulate postero-ventrally. Antennae long, 
of male somewhat flattened, equal to hind femora; of female 
shorter. Tegmina long and relatively narrow, tapering toward 
apex, the apical fourth clear. Wings long and pointed. Hind 
femora stout. 
Color: face, sides of thorax, outer side of hind femora, and 
anterior half of tegmina white, sprinkled with darker spots of 
yellow, brown, rufous, or fuscous; beneath white varied with 
luteous; above, buffy, brown, rufous or rarely even more or 
less fuscous. In general color this species varies in close accord 
with the soil of its habitat, from white to pale brown or gray, 
with darker blotches, which are sometimes nearly obsolete and 
again nearly confluent on the dorsal surface of head, pronotum, 
and tegmina. The grouping of the darker spots on the tegmina 
corresponds with the banding common in other species, covering 
the basal fourth in large part, numerous at or just beyond the 
half, very much scattered and fainter at the apical third or fourth 
and beyond. The spots are usually heaviest on the anterior
