(^ . The four apical joints of the antennae only are black ; the 

 abdomen is more closely punctured than in the female ; the two 

 outer carinae on the median segment converge a little towards the 

 apex. The radial cell does not extend beyond the second cubital 

 cell and is obliquely truncate at the apex.

$ . Clypeus widely and shallowly emarginate at the apex. Head 

 and mesopleurae closely and coarsely punctured. Pronotum rather 

 closely punctured, broadly smooth and shining posteriorly, the arch 

 of the posterior margin almost transverse in the middle ; raesonotum 

 and scutellum sparsely punctured. Median segment short, nearly 

 twice as broad as long, widely and shallowly emarginate at the apex, 

 the sides and apex distinctly margined, subopaque, finely and in- 

 distinctly punctured, with the usual three longitudinal carinae, the 

 middle one not quite reaching the apex, the outer two strongly 

 convergent towards the apex, almost twice as far from each other at 

 the base as at the apex, the sides of the segment closely striated, the 

 surface of the posterior truncation finely shagreened and slightly 

 concave. Abdomen shining, rather sparsely punctured on the two 

 basal segments, more closely on the others ; the basal segment short, 

 truncate at the base and with a distinct transverse carina ; the apical 

 dorsal segment irregularly longitudinally striated, broadly rounded 

 and testaceous at the apex. Spur of the hind tibia fuscous, sharply 

 pointed, and nearly as long as the basal joint of the hind tarsus. 

 The tegulae are long, reaching beyond the middle of the scutellum, 

 smooth at the base, finely punctured at the apex. Second recurrent 

 nervure received just before two-thirds from the base of the second 

 cubital cell ; second transverse cubital nervure with a double curve.
