  Antennae 
  black, 
  the 
  flagellum 
  thickly 
  covered 
  with 
  

   short, 
  stiff 
  hairs 
  ; 
  the 
  scape 
  more 
  densely 
  with 
  longer, 
  paler 
  

   hair. 
  Head 
  smooth 
  and 
  shining; 
  the 
  frontal 
  fovea 
  large, 
  

   smooth, 
  deep 
  behind 
  shallow 
  in 
  front, 
  and 
  merging 
  into 
  

   the 
  face, 
  not 
  being 
  clearly 
  defined 
  at 
  the 
  apex. 
  The 
  apex 
  

   of 
  the 
  clypeus 
  is 
  obliquely 
  depressed 
  at 
  the 
  point, 
  where 
  it 
  

   is 
  slightly 
  incised 
  ; 
  mandibles 
  deeply 
  grooved 
  in 
  the 
  middle, 
  

   their 
  lower 
  side 
  piceous 
  ; 
  the 
  palpi 
  blackish, 
  thickly 
  

   covered 
  with 
  white 
  hair. 
  Thorax 
  smooth 
  and 
  shining, 
  the 
  

   pleurae 
  and 
  sternum 
  thickly 
  covered 
  with 
  white 
  hair. 
  The 
  

   prothorax 
  above 
  is 
  sharply 
  keeled 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  the 
  keel 
  

   being 
  bordered 
  behind 
  by 
  a 
  furrow 
  ; 
  in 
  its 
  centre 
  behind 
  is 
  

   a 
  fovea. 
  The 
  parapsidal 
  furrows 
  are 
  wide 
  and 
  deep; 
  in 
  

   the 
  middle 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  is 
  a 
  short, 
  deep 
  furrow; 
  the 
  basal 
  

   lobe 
  is 
  joined, 
  at 
  its 
  apex, 
  to 
  the 
  scutellum 
  by 
  a 
  furrow. 
  

   The 
  scutellum 
  is 
  strongly 
  convex 
  ; 
  the 
  apex 
  has 
  a 
  more 
  

   abrupt 
  slope 
  than 
  the 
  base. 
  Wings 
  hyaline, 
  the 
  nervures 
  

   and 
  stigma 
  black 
  ; 
  between 
  the 
  stigma 
  and 
  the 
  cubital 
  

   nervure 
  is 
  a 
  fuscous 
  cloud 
  which 
  occupies 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  

   second 
  cubital 
  cellule 
  and 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  third, 
  the 
  part 
  

   of 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  latter 
  being 
  obliquely 
  narrowed 
  ; 
  the 
  second 
  

   cubital 
  cellule 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  shorter 
  than 
  the 
  third, 
  

   below, 
  if 
  anything, 
  longer 
  than 
  it; 
  the 
  first 
  recurrent 
  

   nervure 
  is 
  received 
  near 
  the 
  basal 
  third, 
  the 
  second 
  about 
  

   the 
  same 
  distance 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  third 
  cellule. 
  The 
  

   legs 
  are 
  thickly 
  covered 
  with 
  short, 
  white 
  pubescence 
  ; 
  

   that 
  on 
  the 
  tarsi 
  shorter, 
  thicker 
  and 
  darker; 
  the 
  claws 
  are 
  

   rufous.

  almost 
  bare.

  janthina 
  Klug, 
  but 
  that 
  species 
  may 
  be 
  

   known 
  from 
  it 
  by 
  the 
  entire 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  wings 
  being 
  

   clouded, 
  not 
  a 
  cloud 
  under 
  the 
  stigma 
  only.
