 triangular, smooth, and strongly- 

 shining space bordered by a rusty- 

 yellow line, and behind this the 

 membrane is glassy, traversed by from 

 two to three granulose thickened 

 veins ; thorax and abdomen black ;

Head (including eyes) narrower than pronotum ; A^ertex short, 

 broad, much broader than long, marginally and centrally carinate, 

 eyes large and oblique ; face a little longer than broad, marginally 

 and medially strongly carinate, the medial carination bifurcate at
