projecting tooth. Head a little narrower than the anterior portion of 

 the pronotum, the occiput gently ascending, provided with two large 

 and deep subquadrate pits, in advance of these and immediately 

 between the eyes on the vertex are two smaller pits, and in front of 

 these the fastigium is also profoundly suleate, with heavy bounding 

 walls, which are continuous with the carina? of the frontal costa; lateral 

 foveolae triangular, well defined; upper end of the frontal costa also 

 quite deeply pitted,' suleate throughout, and with the sides gently 

 approaching below the ocellus for a short distance. Tegmina and 

 wings normal, considerably surpassing both the apex of the abdomen 

 and hind femora in the two sexes. Hind femora moderately robust. 

 Interspace between the mesosternal lobes about twice as wide as long, 

 and about equal to the lobes themselves. 



General color cinereo-testaceous, varied with black and fuscous 

 maculations. Tegmina prominently fasciate with fuscous and 

 grayish testaceous; the apical third vitreous obliquely towards the 

 base. Wings with the basal half, or a trifle more, pale greenish yellow, 

 followed by a fairly conspicuous fuscous band, which is most prominent 

 back of the humeral field and well towards the anal angle, on the costal 

 margin continued towards the apex, but not basally; the apex vitreous, 

 but with the veins black. Hind femora externally largely cinereous, 

 but with two well defined oblique fuscous bands, internally mostly 

 black with two transverse pale bands; the knees black. Hind tibiae 

 pallid, somewhat tinged with plumbeous; the base and apex as well as 

 a submedian area infuscated, giving to them a decidedly fasciate 

 appearance. Antenna' pale at base, fuscous beyond. 



Length of body, o 71 , 14 mm., 9, 23 mm.; of pronotum, d 71 , 3.75
