very obtusely tectiform, much produced, furnished with a median wrin- 
kle, running through it, and posteriorly with four longitudinal wrinkles, 
the exterior a little oblique ; somewhat roundly amplified before the eyes, 
thence gradually obtusely angulated towards the apex, gradually very 
obtusely roundly-narrowed, sprinkled with granules and small tubercles. 
Thorax hardly narrowed forwards, subsinuate before the middle on both 
sides, behind the middle gradually elevated backwards, remotely sprin- 
kled with granules, posteriorly furnished with four parallel ridges. 
Scutellum with the apical part much elevated and longitudinally birugose, 
the wrinkles (ruge) granulated. Tegmina gradually a little amplified 
beyond the middle, thence rounded externally, behind the middle more 
pellucid, towards the base sprinkled at intervals with granules, greyish, 
veins more obscure, here and there infuscate or palely ferruginous. 
Tibiz above sprinkled with some granules (Stal).
