 There are single examples of this species in the Osborn

 ish-pellucid elytra with nervation impunctate and the frons 

 banded. 



Body pale with dorsum dull yellow. Vertex very short, much 

 broader than long, barely advanced before the eyes, rounded before, 

 pale with two black dots; front strongly tricarinate, white with two 

 black bands, the upper one being slightly broader; these bands are 

 broken by the median longitudinal carina and this together with the 

 white color of the lateral carinae make it appear as if there were 

 four large spots on the front; clypeus white, slightly creamy towards 

 the tip. Pronotum very short, pale yellowish marked with fuscous 

 just beneath the eyes, with two discal black dots. Scutellum tawny yel- 

 low, feebly tricarinate, the carinae of a pale color. Elytra brownish- 

 pellucid, almost immaculate, subhyaline, nervures sometimes touched 

 with white in places. Wings smoky hyaline, with venation slightly 

 darker. Legs pale, without markings. 



Length of body 3.5 mm. ; length to tip of elytra 5.5 6 mm. ; width 

 across the elytra about 2 mm.
