mediate short obtuse spines. Legs luteous. Fore wings thickly and very 
minutely punctured, with a green costal stripe; membrane eneous-brown.

Piceous, ochraceous-red beneath. Head transversely and finely striated. 
Eyes brownish. Antenne red; second joint rather longer than the third. 
Thorax and scutellum roughly punctured. Thorax in front with a band 
of four dingy testaceous calli; sides of the same hue; horns obtuse at the 
lips, concave along the hind side, much shorter than their breadth at the 
base, black beneath towards the tips. Scutellum attenuated, acute. 
Pectus and under side of abdomen with black lines on the sutures of the 
segments. Abdomen beneath with black marginal spots; hind angles of 
the segments forming short spines, those of the apical segment not 
longer than the four intermediate spines. Legs red. Fore wings thickiy 
and minutely punctured; membrane dark eneous-brown, Length of the
