Head, pronotum, and scutellum black ; hemelytra fuscous 

 brown or ochraceoiis, apical area of embolium, cuneus, inner 

 angular area of coriuni, and onter area of clavus (more or less)

piceous, about basal third of costal margin pale stramnieous ; 

 membrane fuscous brown, a pale spot near base and on lateral 

 margin, and between the latter indications of a paler transverse 

 fascia ; body beneath black ; legs pale ochraceous, femora more or 

 less apically annulated with piceous ; antennte hirsute with the 

 basal joint black, second joint ochraceous with its apex black, 

 third ochraceous with its apical half black, first joint not reaching 

 apex of head, second about twice as long as first ; pronotum very 

 strongly transversely impressed before middle and finely punctate;
