 Thorax black and dull. Abdomen flat, broad, and

 Tail green. Legs short and green, with olive femora 

 and tibial points. Wings broad, and rounded at the

Passerini remarks that the winged insect is some- 

 times rusty red between the cornicles. It may be 

 distinguished from 8. caprea3, the next species, by its 

 diminutive size and the absence of a little horn above 

 the tail.
