Pale yellow, shining, with a dot at the tip of the clavus and on the 
middle of the first apical area, black : anterior margin of vertex blackish. 
Head a little shorter than broad between the eyes, the anterior margin 
weakly angularly rounded and reflexed, vertex concave, ocelli in the 
groove very close to the eyes. Frons convex, almost as long as broad, the 
sides much rounded : gene broad with the angle very obtusely rounded. 
Prothorax convex anteriorly, concave behind, the lateral margins very 
slightly convex, almost parallel ; finely, transversely striated. Clypeus 
with the sides parallel, rounded at the tip. Tegmina rounded at the tips 
with four broad apical and six discoidal cells, the sixth comprising a 
small hexagonal cellule with equal sides before the third apical cell; there 
is also a supplementary cellule ; limbus very narrow, a transverse vein 
between the two veins of the clavus. Abdomen long, the last segment (¢ ) 
twice as long as the penultimate with the margin sinuous, emarginate 
in the middle and furnished with a rounded median lobe; valvules one 
half longer and the oviduct extending beyond them by athird. @,
