 bordered with brown, especially on apical half, veins studded with 

 brown, hair-bearing granules; wings hyaline, white-veined. 



Pygophor with a pair of spines arising from medio-ventral edge, 

 reaching one-third across pygophor, contiguous to near their diverging 

 apices; spines on anal segment short, thick, with converging apices; 

 genital styles long, simple, horn-shaped, making one complete in- 

 wardly-turned spiral, the apical third bent anteriorly. 



In the young stages the vertex and face is round, somewhat 

 as in Paranda, the antennae small and sunk into pits at side of

 keeled on sides and in middle, the central keel being furcate very 

 near the base forming a small diamond-shaped area, two small semi- 

 obsolete keels from the bifurcations to sides of face slightly 

 anterior to the transverse keel between vertex and face; genal keels 

 distinct, meeting the lateral facial keels at their apices; eyes deeply 

 emarginate on lower margin; first and second antennal joints subequal 

 in length, basal joint sagitate, second joint somewhat longer than 

 broad, slightly flattened, beset with sense organs, arista apical; clypeus 

 bent at sharp angle near base where the median keel is prominently 

 angled. Pronotum slightly longer than vertex, widely and angularly
