Scutellum minute, tuberculiform ; mesopleure with a rugose

than the rest of the thorax, truncate posteriorly. Beneath the 
tegule two small membranous lobes represent the wings. Legs 
ferruginous. First abdominal segment obconic, finely striolate, 
subcarinate at the base. Terebra straight, issuing from the lower 
end of the apical truncature of the abdomen, and when measured 
from its base, half as long as the abdomen. Length 3-14 lin.
