species. The excaxation of the declivity is comparatively slij^dit and is 

 niarkctl on each siilc liy tlie three small independent, nearl\- ecpiidistant 

 tubercles, the lower two beins^^ larger and farther a|)art. There is also a 

 very minute tul)ercle a little above and outside of the lowest tubercle but 

 ordinarily it is not seen. The dorsal tuberchr of the three is small and 

 near the median line. Idle [jrothora.K is coarseh' granulated and the wing
