Greyish with a virescent tint, more or less suffused with 

 piceous ; vertex of head distinctly shorter than breadth between 

 eyes, coarsely granulate, very finely centrally longitudinally 

 carinate, lateral margins angulate in front of eyes and then some- 

 what transversely rounded to apex which is subangulate ; pro- 

 notum coarsely granulate, more particularly so on anterior margin 

 and posterior disk, the latter elevated with three longitudinal 

 granulate ridges, the central ridge shortest, on each side of these 

 a raised laminate process, the margins of which are rounded and 

 a little directed backward, the posterior angles somewhat sub- 

 acutely prominent ; scutellum piceous with the apex pale and 

 raised ^here there are two longitudinal ridges of black granules ; 

 tegmina greyish, the veins mostly brownish, the base and a broad 

 ill-defined oblique fascia near middle piceous ; body beneath and legs 

 greyish with a virescent tint ; head beneath in front of eyes with

 behind anterior margin, moderately gibbous posteriorly where 

 there are four fine discal longitudinal ridges, in front of the trans-
