Female. Body stout, fusiform, smooth, shining. Head a little nar- 

 rower than the fore border of the prothorax; keel of the vertex conical, 

 furrowed, obtuse at the tip, a little narrower than the first joint of the 

 antennas; front convex, rather short, its elongation between the eyes 

 conical, remote from the keel of the vertex. Eyes prominent, nearly 

 elliptical, more rounded on the outer side than on the inner side. Maxil- 

 lary palpi setulose ; fourth joint rather shorter than the third, a little more 

 than half the length of the fifth, which is subclavate. Antennae long, 

 slender. Proihorax with a nearly flat disk, which widens hindward and has

 straight, the latter rounded towards the hind border, which is much 

 rounded. Mesosternum more largely notched than the metasternum. 

 Oviduct deep, curved, scabrous towards the tip, about one-fourth of the 

 length, of the abdomen. Legs stout, rather short; spines on the femora 

 and on the four anterior tibiae very minute, those on the four keels of the 

 hind tibia3 a little larger. Fore wings very broad, irregularly oval, very 

 minutely and thickly punctured, the space in front of the scapular vein a 

 little narrower than that behind it; costa much rounded near the base, 

 straight along its outward part, between which and the end of the scapular 

 vein'it is obliquely and abruptly truncated; a few oblique ramose veins 

 proceeding from the scapular vein to the costa; areolets small, irregular; 

 a few large, regular areolets between the externo-medial vein and the 

 iuterno-medial vein, the latter with little knobs towards the base; a fold
