Alhed to Fuhjora, but the cephalic process very slender and 

 suddenly narrowed from a little in front of eyes, not gradually 

 narrowed as in Fulrjora : tegmina much narrower, their greatest 

 breadth less than a third of their length, their apical margins 

 more or less obliquely subtruncate, not convex. 



Owing to the slender and fragile character of the cephalic 

 process in this genus most specimens arrive in a more or less 

 mutilated condition in that respect, thus rendering the differentia- 

 tion of the species by this useful and trustworthy character in 

 some cases impossible,

Head and thorax above dull ochraceous ; a lateral line to 

 cephalic process black ; pronotum with a transverse series of four 

 black spots, the two central ones indented and surrounded with 

 piceous, followed behind by a small concolorous deeply incised spot ; 

 mesonotum with four spots on anterior margin (two central and 

 one at each lateral angle), a spot on each lateral margin and 

 another before posterior angle black ; abdomen black, the lateral 

 and posterior segmental margins green, the last inwardly margined 

 with grey ; sternum and coxae dull ochraceous ; legs pale casta- 

 neous ; tegmina greenish on basal area, reddish-brown beyond 

 middle, ornamented with reddish-brown spots, those on basal half 

 margined with black, the basal lialf is also covered with a number
