Head greyish-ochreous. Aiitennae as usual with the first joint 

 dark below, light above, the second joint entirely dark ; the flagellum 

 yellowish, the dark hairs giving a suggestion of darker rings. 

 Thorax mainly dingy greyish-ochreous dorsally ; margins of pronotum 

 and mesonotum rather broadly dark brown, and a narrow dark 

 brown line along the submedian row of bristles. Abdomen rather 

 dark; ground-colour dingy ochreous; a pair of dark patches on the 

 basal half of each segment, and a dark patch on the hind margins, 

 narrowed in the middle. Legs with the pubescence shorter than 

 usual ; the rings complete ; tips of the tarsal joints very little dark- 

 ened. Wings with the normal venation; Ax curves evenly to the 

 hind margin ; M3 touches Mn- 2 and in two of the three specimens 

 it is fused with it for a short distance. The dark spots are rather 

 larger than usual ; that over the R-M cross-vein extends into the 

 cell R2 + 3. Veins dark, except the costa, Rg and R4 + 5, which are 

 more yellowish.
