Head (including eyes) as wide as pronotum, vertex broad and 

 narrow ; face broader than long, with central and sublateral cari- 

 nations, which frequently become evanescent posteriorly; clypeus 

 not marginally ridged ; pronotum narrow, centrally ridged ; nieso- 

 notum very long, with five carinate lines, the central one straight, 

 on each side of which is an inwardly and anteriorly curved line 

 which converge somewhat closely togetlier on anterior margin, and 

 each outwardly bifurcating near middle in a straight longitudinal 

 carination to, or near, anterior margin ; tegmina strongly ampliated 

 apically, broad, triangular, the apical longer than the inner margin, 

 the longitudinal veins much furcate, two ti*ansverse lines formed 

 by transverse veins on apical areas where the veins are close, 

 numex'ous, longitudinal, and in many cases furcate, the interior 

 longitudinal vein emitting many ramifications ; posterior tibia> 

 with two spines.

Body piceous-black ; base of abdomen and legs more or less 

 piceous-brown ; tegmina piceous-brown, centrally crossed by a 

 broad oblique white fascia, which extends fi'om the inner margin 

 for about three-fourths across tegmen and is then between its apex 

 and the costal margin followed by a subquadrangular white spot, 

 on extreme apical margin are some very minute and scarcely 

 noticeable pale spots which extend for about one-third the length 

 from posterior angle, two dark transverse lines formed by trans- 

 verse veins on apical area, the innermost very irregular, and a
