piceous, the central trausverse veins on apical area distinctly 

 cretaceous, the exterual suture to clavus arcuate and distinctly 

 granulose ; wings creamy-white, the venation darker ; tegmina 

 with the first and second apical veins bifurcating, the other apical 

 veins simple.

Head and pronotum very pale ochraceous ; mesouotum pale 

 castaneous-brown, the carinations and posterior margins flaves- 

 cent or very pale ochraceous ; abdomen pale castaneous-brown, 

 discally more or less suffused with cretaceous pile; face greyishly- 

 flavescent ; clypeus and legs very pale ochraceous ; sternum pale 

 bro\^nish, abdomen beneath piceous-bro\^n ; tegmina with the 

 venation white, the cellular areas pale brown with whitish spots, 

 these spots being most promineut on apical margin and discal 

 area, the basal areas nearly totally white, the external claval 

 suture white and. granulose, followed by two curved fuscous- 

 brown linear fascia, their interspace tlaveseent ; wings creamy- 

 wliite, the venation darker ; apical area of tegmina with three 

 series of bifurcate veins, thus bringing up the number to six 

 instead of five * ; costal membrane broad.

Head (including eyes) very much narrower than pronotum ; 

 vei'tex projecting beyond the eyes, souiewhat flat, conically 

 rounded anteriorly, and at the apex the upper margins of the 

 face appear as two angulations, its base angularly emargiuate ; 

 face as seen beneath the flattened vertex very narrow to between 

 eyes and then broadened to clypeus, which is a little convex, 

 apical joint of rostrum minute ; pronotum very narrow, strongly 

 centrally angulate ; mesouotum large, more than four times 

 longer than pronotum, very obsoletely carinate ; legs moderately 

 long, posterior tibiae not spined, basal joint of posterior tarsi 

 elongate; tegmina elongate, its margins parallel, the apex ob- 

 tusely angulate, the apical margin oblique, the longitudinal veins 

 bifurcating posteriorly and delimitating, a number of irregularly 

 shaped subapical areas, a regular series of transverse veins before 

 apical margin defining numerous short apical areas, some trans- 

 verse veins beyond middle of costal membrane ; wings ample, 

 only a little shorter and slightly broader than tegmina. 



* Generic divisions in these Honioptera most not be based on too rigid 

 characters in venation.
