pair at tibiae and tarsi paler than the thighs ; posterior cox© 

 nearly as long as the thighs.

This insect differs somewhat in appearance from its congeners. 

 The form of the abdomen, excepting that it is not compressed,

 others, and the elongated posterior coxae, give it a little the air 

 of a Faenics, but the numerously jointed antennae place it in this 

 family. [237]
