$ . Eufo-testacea ; capite pedibusque nigris ; segmento dorsali 

 primo pallide flavo ; segmentis ventralibus albidis, lateribus

 with a short carina from the hind' margin to the middle, 

 a small acute tubercle on each side ; parapsidal furrows dis- 

 tinct. Postscutellum with three strong longitudinal carina?; 

 median segment with two strong longitudinal carinas from 

 base to apex. First tergite about as broad at the apex as 

 long, coarsely longitudinally striated, the sides with a deep 

 broad longitudinal groove between carinas, two longitudinal

 and pie urse black ; the median segment and three basal 

 abdominal segments brown, the apical segments black ; the

 the radius is more than twice as long as the second trans-
