brown to apex from the bend of the submarginal vein, the marginal fringes very short, the 
discal cilia very dense and fine, the hairless line not distinct though indicated. Thorax and 
head densely, moderately coarsely polygonally scaly, appearing like scaly punectation but the 
areas not truly sunken. Abdomen subglabrous. Pronotum distinet, transverse. Scutum 
subequal to the scutellum in length. Pubescence not conspicuous. Antenne 12-jointed, with

are widely separated and the marginal vein is linear, five or six times longer than wide, the 
postmarginal distinctly absent, the stigmal long and slender, subequal to the marginal. Oblique,
