punctate with a tendency to rugosity; parapsidal furrows and scu- 

 tellar cross furrow distinct; the scutellar apex not so deeply sculptured

 middle posteriorly; coxae dark green, femora and hind tibiae fuscous 

 with a greenish tinge in some lights; tips of femora and tibiae dark 

 testaceous; the tarsi yellowish; wings moderately ciliate; the mar- 

 ginal vein five-sixths as long as the submarginal; the stigmal vein 

 more or less subsessile. Abdomen dark brownish green; segments 

 medially emarginate.
