 minutely punctured, with a green costal stripe; membrane aeneous-brown.

Piccous, ochraceous-red beneath. Head transversely and finely striated. 

 Eyes brownish. Antenna? red ; second joint rather longer than the third. 

 Thorax and sculellum roughly punctured. Thorax in front with a band 

 of four dingy testaceous calli; sides of the same hue; horns obtuse at the 

 tips, concave along the hind side, much shorter than their breadth at the 

 base, black beneath towards the tips. Scutellum attenuated, acute. 

 Pectus and under side of abdomen with black lines on the sutures of the 

 segments. Abdomen beneath with black marginal spots; hind angles of 

 the segments forming short spines, those of the apical segment not 

 longer than the four intermediate spines. Legs red. Fore wings thickiy 

 and minutely punctured; membrane dark aeneous-brown. Length of the

The longer and broader horns of the thorax distinguish it from
