 roughly and rather thinly punctured, with a transverse furrow and smooth 

 space in front bordered with pale luteous on each side; disk partly pale 

 luteous; horns slightly inclined forward, a little longer than their breadth 

 at the base, rounded at their tips. Scutellum slightly attenuated and 

 acute, roughly punctured, finely punctured towards the lip, which is pale 

 luteous. Hind angles of the apical abdominal segment forming two stout 

 spines; no intermediate spines. Legs pale luteous, somewhat pubescent. 

 Fore vvings thickly and minutely punctured, with a broad pale luteous 

 stripe along the hind binder ; outer border undulating; membrane aeneous-
