the posterior segmental margins narrowly and obscurely paler. Body 
beneath concolorous ; middle of the face, metasternum, disc and apex of 
the abdomen, fuscous: legs concolorous, femora streaked with fuscous ; 
bases and apices of tibiz, and apical points of tarsi, also fuscous. Teg- 
mina and wings pale hyaline and talc-like; tegmina with costal and 
basal half of venation ochraceous, remainder fuscous; transverse veins 
at the bases of the second and third apical areas infuscated. Width of 
head, between the outer margins of the eyes, rather less than that of the 
pronotum at the base; pronotum a little more than twice as broad as 
long; face with the base much elevated, somewhat narrowing to the 
apex, distinctly longitudinally sulcated, and strongly transversely striate :

Q. Head somewhat broader than the base of the thorax, black, 
frons tumid, basal spot ferruginous : thorax anteriorly much narrower 
than the head, sides obtuse, slightly converging backwards, posteriorly 
abruptly amplified, posterior limbus narrow ; upper apical seement in ? 
with two black stripes. Very near JT. brunneus, Fabr., but differs in 
being smaller, head broader, frons much more tumid, sides of thorax 
slightly converging backwards, and in the markings. In the form and 
structure of the tegmina, abdomen, and spine of posterior trochanters, it 
agrees with 7’. brunneus (Stal).
