 which runs from the impressed transverse line of the pronotum 

 to the tip of the scutellum ; tegmina translucent, the veins

Pale oehraceous ; vertex with two sometimes united spots at 

 apex, two larger somewhat transverse spots on disk, and a spot- 

 like suffusion near each eye dark oehraceous, from between the 

 discal spots to base a central piceous line ; pronotum with four 

 dark oehraceous broad longitudinal fasciae ; face with transverse 

 dark oehraceous lines medially palely longitudinally interrupted, 

 the basal margin distinctly pale ; body beneath brownish-ochra- 

 ceous, sometimes more or less piceous, the apex of the abdomen 

 pale oehraceous ; legs oehraceous ; tegmina subhyaline, the veins 

 prominent and either oehraceous or greyish-ochraceous, two small 

 spots on basal area and the discal cellular interspaces more or less 

 pale piceous-brown ; apical cells more or less distinctly inwardly 

 margined with pale piceous-brown ; vertex subtriangularly pro- 

 duced, almost as long as breadth between eyes, transversely, 

 centrally, discally depressed ; eyes greyish-brown : scutellum with 

 a central discal transverse impressed line, a dark marginal spot 

 near each basal angle and with a central broad longitudinal dark 

 oehraceous fascia ; posterior tibise with a central longitudinal

This species varies somewhat in markings, though the general 

 characteristics described above remain constant ; in one specimen 

 there is a distinct dark spot on each side of the pronotum behind 

 the eyes, in another there is a looped dark line on each side of the 

 apical margin of vertex. Melichar gives the dimensions as 2^ to 

 3 millim., but my series of specimens exhibit a greater size.
