Yellowish-brown, opaque. Front more yellow, opaque, without 

 black spot near the orbit, the excavated middle stripe very narrow, 

 not glossy ; between the antennae and the anterior corner of the 

 eyes there is a small brown spot. Face white, considerably reced- 

 ing, excavated in its middle more than in most other species. An- 

 tennre yellow with the third joint hardly as long as the second, its 

 superior edge not distinctly excised, and its end very little pointed; 

 the antennal bristle blackish, with the base only yellow, and the 

 blackish hairs rather long, but not very close. Upper side of the 

 thorax not punctured, with four complete brown longitudinal 

 stripes, and on 'its posterior half immediately beside the lateral 

 stripe, a fine, less distinct, brown, longitudinal line. Scutellum 

 with a brown middle stripe. Pleuree with a broad brown longitu- 

 dinal stripe at the superior border, the remainder being everywhere 

 whitish hoary. Abdomen unicolorous, with a blackish middle line, 

 and on each side a brown linear stripe, all of them interrupted at 

 the incisions. Legs yellowish, with the tips of the tarsi a little 

 blackish. "Wings somewhat yellowish towards the base with the 

 reticulation moderately close and rather guttated, darker brownish- 

 black at the costal and apical border; before the second longitudi- 

 nal vein there are about six small clear dots, which do not reach 

 the costal border itself; the small transverse vein is some distance 

 before the middle of the discal cell, and the posterior transverse 

 vein is very distinctly curved.
