Differs from 5". saccharivora (Westwood) by the much s'horter, 

 anteriorly rounded (dorsally) head, and by the color; from the 

 other species, by the immaculate tegmina of which only the 

 apices of the api'cal veins are dotted with dark brown; there is 

 also a very short, narrow line at the apex of the clavus; the 

 other species (except saccharivora) have a longitudinal smoky 

 smear on the tegmina.

 Tegmina pale cinereo flavous, marked as above. Tergites testa- 

 ceous with a sublateral suffused blac'kish stripe longitudinally

 species witlh striped tegmina, and are shorter in proportion to 

 their width.
