tegmiiia pale, shining ocliraceous ; wings creamy-white ; the 

 mesonotum is somewhat profoundly channelled on each side of 

 the central carination ; the face is less acutely centrally carinate 

 than in the preceding species {31. quadrafa), but with the clypeus 

 marked, though more faintly, as in that species ; tegmina with the 

 radial area strongly obliquely transversely veined, the radial vein 

 not sinuate-
