 base. One specimen has a faint orange red patch each side of median 

 line of scutellum near base. Fuscous to fusco-piceous vittas dotted with 

 ground color, located as follows on hemelytra: One on clavus, and two 

 on corium over the terminal portions of cubital and brachial veins. 

 Faint fuscous clouding along suture between clavus and corium and 

 sometimes elsewhere. Cuneus orange red. Membrane hyaline with
