side; apparently these do not join; these carina? are margined caudad by more or 

 less dusky, and they do not quite approach the margin of the eye. Head rugulose, 

 but portions of the lower face near the eyes delicately hexagonally sculptured ; occiput 

 rugulose. Thorax more regularly sculptured into delicate hexagonal figures, fainter 

 or absent on the narrow parapsides, but present on mesoscutellum, mesoscutum and 

 axillae. Scutellum normal, hemispherical, but with a regularly convexed cephalic 

 margin; mesopostscutellum narrow. A few long setfe on thorax. 



Abdomen sessile, oval, about equal in length to the thorax, at least portions 

 apparently very delicately polygonally sculptured; segments, unequal. 



Antennae inserted near the mouth border, 8-jointed, with a 2-jointed club; 

 moderately uniformly hairy, except the naked basal third of scape. Scape slender, 

 slightly curved and thicker in the middle, longer than the next three joints combined, 

 its basal third naked, pale and constricted. Pedicel short and thick, truncate api- 

 cally, and tapering to a ])oint caudad, the thickest joint, appearing somewhat swollen 

 in comparison with the next joint, though normal, slightly longer than the next joint 

 (funicle 1), and longer than wide; funicle 1 cylindrical, longer than wide, the shortest 

 and most slender joint, though very nearly as wide as funicle 2, and about two-thirds 

 its length; funicle 2 a third longer than 1, slightly wider, longer than the pedicel, and 

 about two-thirds the length of funicle ,3; the next four joints subcqual, cylindrical, 

 funicle 4 very slightly broader and longer, all about a third longer than funicle 2; 

 basal joint of club slightly shorter than the apical joint, subtruncate apically, sub- 

 equal to funicles 3 antl 4, longer than funicle 2; a]iical joint cylindrical oval, gradually 

 tapering apically; club joints distinct. Antennae apparently longitudinally finely 

 rugulose, most evident on the pedicel. 



Legs normal, all tarsi 5-jointed, the basal joint of the intermediate tarsi not 

 especially long, shorter than the following four joints combined, the middle tibial 

 spur not half as long as the basal tarsal joint of the intermediate legs, and rather 

 slender. Legs hairy, trochanters and coxae pallid; at least the cephalic and caudal 

 coxjie longitudinally striate, and the legs apparently so, like the antennae. 



Forewings narrower than usual, the venation dusky pale yellow, appearing 

 dark when wings are closed, and in some balsam mounts. Marginal vein twice 

 thicker than the submarginal, about equal to it in length, or slightly longer, and 

 bearing 8 marginal bristles from papilh^ arising from its edge ; 7 of these papillae are 

 usually distinct, but all of the bristles are sometimes hard to make out ; these bristles 

 longer than tho.se costal fringes immediately succeeding, at apical end of the marginal 

 vein; there are also two shorter bristles from the submarginal vein, and one from 

 the surface of the tegula; submarginal vein crenulate interiorlv. From the surface
