ff. 36-39 (1845) ; Kirk. Wien. ent. Zeit. xvii, p. 1-41 (1898) ; 

 id. torn. cit. xxiii, p. 128 (1904). 



This is another species I only know by Fieber's description and 

 figures.

 neck, eyes reddish-brown ; scutellum yellowisli-white ; clavus 

 with a brown spot in the terminal angles ; posterior half of corium

 brown approximate oval spots ; on the front two pale brown 

 dashes, between which and somewhat lower is a shorter one ; 

 terminal joint of the sheath of the rostrum black, basal joint 

 brown ; eyes flattened, reddish-brown ; pronotum and scutellum 

 unspotted like the tegmina, with shallow punctures, the inter- 

 mediate spaces smootii, almost as if polished, hairless ; tegmina 

 rather higher arched behind than in front ; in the terminal angles 

 of the corium a little yellowish-brown spot ; the posterior half of 

 tegmina appears brownish, caused by dots in punctures ; tegmina

I know nothing more of this species than the description which
