Pallide lutea, nigro punctata ; caput maculis duabus posticis nigris 



angulalis ; thorax lineola longitudinali antica, fascia tenui abbreviata 



undulata, linea transversa posteriore margineque postico nigris; 



sculellum fascia basali glabra abbreviata nigra marginata; pectus 



ventrisque discus nigra. 



Pale luteous, shining, minutely black-punciured, a little longer than 



broad. Head with two triangular black spots on the hind border contiguous 



to the middle lobe, which has brownish sutures between it and the lateral 



lobes. Thorax narrowly black along the hind border and with a narrow 



transverse black line ; space between the latter and the fore border 



impunctate, including a longitudinal black line and an undulating al)bre-

 distinguished by the black stripe on the hinder part of the tiiorax, and by 

 the markings at the base of the sculellum.
