Head much narrower than the thorax; vertex narrow, compressed, 
narrower by half than the eyes, passing over into the frons which is long, 
gradually narrowed upwards, much compressed between the eyes, with- 
out a ridge, furnished with an ocellug at the apex; median ridge of 
clypeus less distinct, lateral margins carinated: eyes beneath sinuated : 
antenna inserted beneath the eyes, first joint exserted, second longer than 
thick; thorax very short, angularly emarginated at the base: scutellum 
tricarinate; tegmina gradually somewhat amplified towards the apex ; 
radial and exterior ulnar vein united near the base: feet moderate, sim- 
ple; last tibies unarmed (Stal).

Body tawny: frons long and narrow with a row of brown spots 
along each side of the dise which is also brown: rostrum tawny: eyes 
large: pronotum on both sides obliquely tricarinate: disc of the mesono- 
tum brown: legs tawny, slightly sulcated: each femur with two brown 
rings: tegmina almost colourless, adorned with several waved brown 
bands which are partly confluent or interrupted, discs of the spaces 
between them occupied by paler brown bands: a large yellow spot on

Body rather slender, head a little narrower than the thorax with 
a ridge which extends from the back of the vertex to the rostrum ; 
sides also ridged; frons compressed, elongate-subfusiform : 1—2 joints 
antenn® a little shorter together than the breadth of the front; filament 
not long: thorax tricarinate, pronotum very short: abdomen at the 
base with two lateral capitate appendages like the halteres of Diptera, tip 
terminating ina long, curved oviduct: legs rather long and slender: 
tegmina and wings broad, rounded at the tips, the former with about 
twenty areolets, the discal generally shorter than the basal and marginal. 
(Walker) 
Frons with a longitudinal ridge narrowed upwards, scarcely distin- 
euishable from the vertex: first joint of the antenne prominulous, second 
longer than broad: abdomen furnished on both sides at the base with a 
long, filiform, clavate process: tegmina gradually amplified from the base 
towards the apex; the costal margin slightly sinuated towards the base ; 
the radial and ulnar veins separately emitted from the ulnar trunk or 
somewhat contiguous at the base itself (Sidl).
