is costal membrane, and more or less spotted with the same colour 

 on apical area, sometimes with a few small fascons spots on disk 

 wings pale fuliginous, the veins very distinctly darker ; face with 

 two 01" three black spots at base, from about middle ampliated on 

 each side to clypeus ; pronotum with two small discal callosities 

 and with an oblique black marginal line behind eyes ; mesonotum 

 with two discal black fasciae commencing on posterior margin, 

 extending upward to a little beyond middle, then abruptly turned 

 inwardly, and again narrowly closely longitudinally continued 

 towards anterior margin ; costal membrane more than four times 

 as broad as radial area.

Closely allied to the two preceding species, but separable by the 

 diffei'ent markings of the tegmina and face ; tegmina without the 

 percurrent fascia as in A. nietneri ; face with a somewhat large 

 subbasal black spot ; tegmina varying from pale virescent to pale

The three species (?) A. emersoniana, "Walk., A. nietneri, Stal, 

 and the above, have very much in common as regards structure, but 

 considerable diversity in the tegminal markings. The three must 

 be either regarded as distinct species or as varietal forms of one 

 species, and without further knowledge they are too dissimilar for 

 me to arrange them according to the latter method.
