 the tarsi ochraceous; tegmiiia with a large median and larger 

 apical, costal, hyaline or svibh3'aline spot; head hetween the eyes

 are dark in hue the })ale spots are very conspicuous, and are some- 

 times pale ochraceous and not hyaline ; in pale-coloured specimens 

 the spots are much more indistinct.

A very distinct species by its almost uniform pale coloration 

 above, with the black spot near the apex of inner margin to 

 tegmina. 



Atkinson (J. A. S. B. Iv, p. 196, 1886) states that this species 

 " includes apparently Ptyelus orienialis, Stfil (Freg. Eug. Eesa,

 suggestion.
