Cephalic process linear, ascending; tegmina pale with two brown 
lines (Donovan). Pale testaceous or fulvous-whitish: cephalic process as 
long as half the body, ascending, pale greyish-luteous, slender, a little 
thickened at the apex: tegmina narrow, elongate, whitish, with black- 
ish dots arranged in lines towards the internal and external margin of 
the posterior part of the tegmina, also a narrow black line towards 
the base of the costa: cephalic process and feet, punctured black: last 
femora at the apex and the tarsi broad (Westw.) Body long with 
cephalic process (wings closed), 12 millims. 
Reported from Bengal. In Donovan’s figure, the black spots on the 
tegmina appear to be confluent forming two lines and extending through- 
out the entire length of the tegmina: the Indian Museum possesses a 
specimen from Sibsagar (Assam).
