anipliafed anteriorly and notched and narrowed posteriorly ; and an oblique piceous fascia near each lateral 

 margin. Mesonotum with a central, longitudinal, linear fascia, on each side of which is a curved, linear, 

 discal fascia extending to anterior margin ; a broad fascia on each lateral area, and a spot at each anterior 

 angle of the cruciform basal elevation, piceous. Abdomen sparingly greyishly pilose, with a double discal 

 series and more continuous lateral marginal series of piceous spots ; base of anal segment also piceous. 

 Body beneath ochraceous ; bases of anterior femora, bases and apices of the tibite, apices of the tarsi, 

 abdominal tubercles, and anal segment of the alxlomen, piceous ; anal appendage luteous. 



Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the venation fuscous ; the tegmina with a small costal ochraceous 

 and fuscous spot at base of the upper ulnar area, and the transverse veins at the bases of the first, second, 

 and third apical areas, infuscated. 



The rostrum has the apex piceous and just passing the posterior coxse, and the face is depressed and 

 somewhat flattened.

Body above olivaceous-green. Head with the front broadly margined with black ; the vertex with a 

 streak behind the eyes, some irregular markings in front, and the area of the ocelli, black. Pronotum with 

 the following black markings : — two central fascifc, rounded and joined posteriori}', and laterally curved 

 and produced on each side anteriorly ; on each side of these fasciae are three discal irregular spots, and a 

 large semicircular spot near each lateral margin. Mesonotum with the following black markings : — a central 

 longitudinal line with a shorter curved and outwardly convex line on each side, followed by a small spot 

 on anterior margin and by a sublatcral curved and broken fascia, and a spot in front of each antei-ior angle 

 of the basal cruciform elevation. Abdomen above with the segmental margins narrowly black, and with 

 two black spots at base and a smaller spot at apex of anal appendage. Body beneath pale olivaceous- 

 green ; anterior margin and two central fasciae — ^joined posteriorly — to face, some irregular spots on cheeks, 

 segmental margins, and the apex of anal appendage, black. Legs olivaceous-green ; apices of the femora, 

 tibije, and tarsi, more or less pitchy. Rostrum olivacuous, with the apex black. Abdominal tubercles in 

 the male varying in hue. 



Tegmina pale hyaline, with violaceous reflexions, the venation alternately black and ochraceous, a 

 few obscure black markings at base ; the costal membrane ochraceous ; an ochraceous spot at base of upper 

 ulnar area, and the transverse veins at bases of the three upper apical areas (in the female) broadly 

 infuscated. In the male the third and fifth transverse veins are usually spotted, and there is frequently a 

 submarginal series of small fuscous spots.* Wings with the venation similar to tegmina, but spotless. 



The lateral margins of the pronotum are biangulated, the face is large and tumid, the rostrum in the 

 female sex distinctly passes the posterior coxae.

The females differ from the males, by the much shorter body aud the greater expanse of 

 the tegmina. In both sexes the ochraceous coloration is often olivaceous. 



* In some specimens the tegmina are only very faintly and obscurely spotted.
