smallest, three central lanceolate spots on disk of which the central 

 one is largestand a spot at each anterior angle of the basai cruciform 

 élévation, black. Abdomen dark castaneous with the posterior 

 segmentai margins ochraceous. Anterior margins of tympana ochra- 

 ceous. Head beneath, sternum, opercula and legs ochraceous; base 

 and apex of face, space between face and eyes, streaks and spots to 

 coxae and femora, and prosternai latéral angles, black ; abdomen 

 beneath as above, posterior half of apical segment ochraceous. 



Tegmina pale hyaline; the basai half, a broad sinuated fascia 

 extending from near apex to lower apical area and again connected 

 withcesta at end of radial area. and a double séries of small spots at 

 outer margin dark fuscous ; in the basai fuscous area are contained 

 three pale spots in the radial area, two in the fourth ulnar area and 

 one at base of the fifth ulnar area. Wings pale hyaline, the basai 

 half ochraceous outwardly margined with fuscous. 



The head including outer margins of eyes is about equal in width 

 to the base of the mesonotum; the pronotal latéral margins are 

 angularly and subacutely produced ; the opercula slightly overlap 

 at centre, their outer margins straight for about one third from 

 base and then obliquely angulated to apex ; rostrum passing the 

 posterior coxae.

 four are near anterior margin and two on disk, sometimes with a 

 central linear fascia and a small spot in front of each anterior 

 angle of the basai cruciform élévation, black. Abdomen with the

 spots and the apex pitchy. Body beneath ochraceous ; two curved 

 spots at base and a central fascia to face, sternal spots and apical 

 segment to abdomen, black. 



Tegmina and wings hyaline ; venation basally ochraceous and 

 apically fuscous ; tegmina with a black costal spot at base of 

 upper ulnar area and the transverse veins at the bases of the 

 second and third apical areas slightly infuscated. 



The rostrum reaches the posterior coxae and has its apex black ; 

 the opercula are somewhat rectangular and moderately and obli- 

 quely directed inwardly.
