  fuscous 
  above 
  except 
  in 
  wideuing 
  flavous 
  strij)es 
  which 
  follow 
  the 
  outer 
  

   margins 
  of 
  the 
  fastigium 
  and 
  cross 
  the 
  head 
  to 
  the 
  lateral 
  carinae 
  of 
  

   the 
  pronotum; 
  vertex 
  gently 
  tumid, 
  the 
  interspace 
  between 
  the 
  eyes 
  

   broad, 
  almost 
  or 
  quite 
  as 
  broad 
  as 
  the 
  frontal 
  costa, 
  the 
  fastigium 
  plane 
  

   or 
  rarely, 
  in 
  the 
  male, 
  very 
  feebly 
  briefly 
  and 
  broadly 
  sulcate, 
  passing 
  

   insensibly 
  into 
  the 
  frontal 
  costa; 
  the 
  latter 
  broad, 
  subequal 
  but 
  feebly 
  

   and 
  broadly 
  narrowed 
  above, 
  plane 
  or 
  feebly 
  sulcate 
  below, 
  percurrent; 
  

   eyes 
  moderately 
  prominent 
  in 
  the 
  male, 
  moderately 
  large, 
  not 
  very 
  

   elongate 
  even 
  in 
  the 
  female, 
  scarcely 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  intraocular 
  portion 
  

   of 
  the 
  genae; 
  antennae 
  fulvous, 
  becoming 
  fnscous 
  apically, 
  as 
  long 
  

   (male) 
  or 
  hardly 
  more 
  than 
  two-thirds 
  as 
  long 
  (female) 
  as 
  the 
  hind 
  

   femora. 
  Pronotum 
  subequal, 
  but 
  barely 
  expanding 
  on 
  the 
  metazona 
  

   (male) 
  or 
  distinctly 
  though 
  not 
  greatly 
  expanding 
  from 
  the 
  posterior 
  

   sulcus 
  of 
  the 
  prozona 
  (female), 
  the 
  disk 
  nearly 
  i^lane 
  but 
  slightly 
  convex, 
  

   separated 
  from 
  the 
  subvertical 
  lateral 
  lobes 
  by 
  a 
  tolerably 
  pronounced 
  

   but 
  rounded 
  angle, 
  the 
  median 
  carina 
  feeble, 
  between 
  the 
  sulci 
  feebler, 
  

   rarely 
  subobsolete; 
  prozona 
  very 
  feebly 
  and 
  very 
  sparsely 
  punctate, 
  

   slightly 
  (male) 
  or 
  feebly 
  (female) 
  longitudinal, 
  fully 
  a 
  half 
  (male) 
  or 
  

   from 
  a 
  fourth 
  to 
  a 
  third 
  (female) 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  closely 
  and 
  delicately 
  

   punctate 
  metazona; 
  front 
  margin 
  truncate 
  or 
  barely 
  convex, 
  hind 
  margin 
  

   broadly 
  rotundato-angulate; 
  disk 
  dark 
  brownish 
  fuscous, 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  

   dark 
  olivaceous 
  in 
  life, 
  the 
  lateral 
  carinae 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  heavily 
  marked 
  

   with 
  a 
  flavous 
  stripe 
  upon 
  the 
  disk, 
  next 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  lateral 
  lobes 
  are 
  

   darkest, 
  gradually 
  fading 
  below, 
  but 
  often 
  forming 
  a 
  blackish 
  lateral 
  

   stripe, 
  which 
  extends 
  from 
  the 
  hinder 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  eyes 
  across 
  the 
  pro- 
  

   zona 
  and 
  dies 
  out 
  ui)on 
  the 
  metazona; 
  at 
  their 
  lowest 
  margin 
  the 
  

   lateral 
  lobes 
  are 
  of 
  nearly 
  the 
  same 
  color 
  as 
  the 
  under 
  surface, 
  and 
  

   occasionally 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  lateral 
  lobes 
  are 
  uniformly 
  dull 
  flavous 
  or 
  

   flavo-testaceous, 
  the 
  flavous 
  stripe 
  of 
  the 
  lateral 
  carinae 
  marked 
  only 
  

   by 
  its 
  brightness 
  and 
  a 
  feeble 
  blackish 
  external 
  edging. 
  Prosternal 
  

   spine 
  rather 
  long 
  and 
  a 
  little 
  retrorse, 
  conical 
  as 
  seen 
  laterally, 
  cylin- 
  

   drical 
  or 
  conico-cyliudrical 
  from 
  in 
  front. 
  Tegmina 
  reaching 
  or 
  a 
  little 
  

   surpassing 
  the 
  hind 
  femora, 
  rarely 
  a 
  little 
  less 
  in 
  the 
  female, 
  tapering 
  

   very 
  regularly 
  and 
  gradually 
  from 
  the 
  subbasal 
  expansion, 
  strongly 
  

   and 
  uniformly 
  rounded 
  at 
  tip, 
  with 
  a 
  flavous 
  striiDC 
  along 
  the 
  anal 
  vein, 
  

   elsewhere 
  fnscous, 
  deepest 
  in 
  color 
  in 
  the 
  discoidal 
  area, 
  free 
  from 
  

   mottling; 
  wings 
  hyaline 
  with 
  the 
  feeblest 
  flavous 
  tinge, 
  the 
  veins 
  and 
  

   cross 
  veins 
  pallid 
  green 
  but 
  becoming 
  more 
  and 
  more 
  fuscous 
  toward 
  

   the 
  apex. 
  Fore 
  and 
  middle 
  femora 
  fulvo-olivaceous, 
  a 
  little 
  infuscated 
  

   above 
  and 
  apically; 
  hind 
  femora 
  rather 
  long 
  and 
  only 
  moderately 
  stout, 
  

   very 
  variable 
  in 
  ground 
  color 
  but 
  usually 
  lighter 
  than 
  the 
  general 
  color 
  

   of 
  the 
  body, 
  sometimes 
  much 
  lighter, 
  sometimes 
  without 
  stripes 
  or 
  

   bands 
  except 
  an 
  infuscation 
  along 
  the 
  upper 
  carina 
  of 
  the 
  outer 
  face, 
  

   at 
  others 
  infuscated 
  over 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  half 
  of 
  that 
  face, 
  rarely 
  with 
  

   three 
  distinct, 
  broad, 
  black 
  patches 
  along 
  the 
  inner 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  

   face, 
  basal, 
  median, 
  and 
  postmediau, 
  the 
  genicular 
  arc 
  always 
  black 
  or
