As indicated by the synoptic key this insect is but slightly varied 

 with dark markings, its general color being brunneo-olivaceous. 



Head a little wider than the anterior margin of the pronotum. Eyes 

 somewhat prominent, about one and one-half times as long as wide, 

 and fully twice the length of the cheeks below them, separated above 

 by a space about equal to the diameter of the basal antennal segment; 

 the vertex depressed, sulcate, and provided with a more or less appar- 

 ent median longitudinal carina which extends upon the occiput. 

 Fastigium punctulate, not sulcate, roundl}' connected with the upper 

 extremity of the frontal costa. Face a little oblique or receding, 

 rugosely punctulate; the costa of nearly equak width throughout, 

 but little sulcate at any point, continuous to the clj'peus. Antennae 

 moderately slender, reaching to the apex of the mesonotum. Pro- 

 notum rather profoundly and rugosely punctulate, a little expanding 

 to the rear, the three, transverse sulci well marked, cutting or severing 

 the median carina; anterior margin a little advanced upon the occiput, 

 triangularly notched at its middle, the posterior margin almost straight 

 and with the middle also triangularly notched or emarginate. Teg- 

 mina small, lateral, their tips rounded and reaching the tip of the 

 metanotum. Legs about normal for the genus. Prosternal spine 

 rather large, pyramidal, its apex a little blunt, gently directed to the 

 rear. Valves of the ovipositor somewhat slender, their apices only 

 gently hooked. General color brunneo-olivaceous, varied with only 

 slight indications of the dusky markings mentioned for other species. 

 Face, cheeks below the eyes, lower third of sides of pronotum and the 

 metapleura pallid. Genicular portion of the hind femora and im- 

 mediate base of the hind tibiae pale testaceo-ferruginous. Antennae 

 pallid, not infuscated. 



Length of body, 9, 26 mm.; of i)ronotum, 5 mm.; of antennae, 

 12 mm.; of tegmina, 5.15 mm.; of hind femora, 15 mm.
