as seen from above when tegmina are closed appearing as a basal 



lateral projection ; meso-

 the cariuations forming an 

 ovate slightly raised pro-

 the costal area of the 

 tegmina is distinctly pale 

 virescent ; basal area of 

 costal membrane and the 

 clavus coarsely granulose, 

 all the longitudinal veins 

 to tegmina prominent and 



slightly raised, and more or less transversely reticulate towards 



apical area ; legs somewhat short and stout.

 spinose ; tegmina narrower than the wings, somewhat elongate, 

 apically ampliate, costal margin rounded, apical margin truncate, 

 its posterior angle subacutely produced, costal membrane nearly as 

 broad or very slightly narrower than radial area, the former some-
