species; the females generally marked with a longitudinal 

 fuscous vitta on the elytra. 



The original description is quoted here. 



"Female: Vertex as broad as in 5-lineatus and as long as in 

 vicarius. Front and clypeus together proportionately longer than 

 in b-lineatus and less angled at the sides; distinctly broader than in 

 vicarius; base of the clypeus distinctly broader and less deeply in- 

 serted in the front than in either of the allied species. Pronotal 

 carinae straighter and more parallel than in vicarius. Elytra long 

 and parallel sided; radial and ulnar nervures forked on the same 

 line but farther from the base than the point of union of the claval 

 nervures. In vicarius the point of union of the claval nervures is 

 beyond the others while in 5-lineatus the three are about on a line; 

 stigma still longer than in vicarius. Elytral setae less conspicuous 

 than in the allied species. Hind femora with three equidistant teeth, 

 the basal very minute and placed close to the base. 



Color ferruginous-brown or almost castaneous; the sides of the 

 mesonotum darker; meso- and meta-pleurae and legs paler, the femora 

 darker; anterior and intermediate tibiae twice banded with brown. 

 Abdomen fuscous, the segments edged with white. Carinae of the 

 vertex with a median pale spot; those of the face paler, the marginal 

 forming a pale hook either side of the base of the clypeus. Elytra 

 whitish-hyaline, the nervures pale dotted with black; stigma and a 

 longitudinal discal vitta which begins at the base of the anteapical 

 areoles, fuscous; the transverse, and the tips of all the apical ner- 

 vures blackish and bordered with fuscous. Commissure usually with 

 a fuscous vitta to near the apex of the clavus. Generally there 

 are two fuscous marks on the costa near the middle, a mark on the 

 inner branch of the radial vein next the fork, another on the fork, 

 and a round spot on the fork of the claval vein. The fuscous vitta 

 on the apex and that on the commissure may be reduced or wanting 

 but the spots on the nervures seem to be constant. 



The male is smaller and wants most of the elytral markings but 

 has the four dots on the nervures; and the stigma, the transverse 

 veins, and the tips of the apical are fuscous. The male genital 

 characters in this species are very distinct. The median tooth of 

 this segment is long and broad, roundedly expanded and feebly 

 bilobate at apex where its slender margin is reflexed. Side pieces of 

 the genital segment obtusely triangular," but little surpassing the 

 median tooth. Plates narrow and curved at base, abruptly expanded 

 and almost square beyond the apex of the median lobe, their inner 

 margins contiguous and their outer angles produced. Pygofers form- 

 ing a hood over the apex of the plates, armed with a slender tooth 

 dorsally." 



Length of body, male 5 mm., female 5.50 mm.; length to tip of 

 elytra, male 7.50 9.50 mm.; female 9 11 mm.
