margins of face and apex of rostrum, piceous. Tegmina 
and wings pale hyaline. Face not prominently convex, 
with the disk suleated and the margins strongly striated. 
Rostrum passing posterior coxe, about reaching inner 
angles of opercula; opercula reaching third abdominal 
segment, with the outer margins parallel with lateral 
margins of abdomen for half their length, then becoming 
convex, and again narrowed to apex, widened inwardly, 
but not meeting at apex of first abdominal segment, and 
then narrowed and divergent to apex, which is broad 
and rounded. Posterior tibie with two long spines on 
inner and outer margins. Long. 31mm. Exp. tegm.

longer, with their apices broadened and rounded. The 
abdomen narrowed towards apex, and the number of
