narrowly Mack, fourth joint ocliraceous with nearly apical 

 third black ; head and anterior lole of pronotum fuscous 

 brown, postorior prouotal lobe black, with two central s|)ota 

 and the lateral margins creamy white or very pale oclira- 

 ceous ; eyes black ; scutellura fuscous brown ; corium dull 

 ocliraceous, darkly punctate, inner area of clavus more 

 densely darkly punctate, disk of corium with an oblique 

 longitudinal fascia — neither reaching base nor apex, a sub- 

 central, transverse, very irregular fascia, and the apical angle, 

 black ; membrane fuscous, the veins, and some irregular 

 suffusions and spots, pale dull ochraceous ; bod}' beneath 

 and legs dark castaneons, basal spine to antennje beneath, 

 anterior margin of prosterunm, coxae, posterior angles of 

 meso- and metasterna, and the greater part of basal joints of 

 intermediate and posterior tarsi pale ochraceous. 



Head elongate, longer than basal breadth including eyes, 

 narrowed on apical area, and with a short spine at base of 

 antennse ; eyes prominent, almost reaching base of head ; 

 antennae Avith the basal joint shortest and stoutest, second 

 joiut a little longer than third, which is again longer than 

 fourth; pronotum punctate, with anterior lobe much nar- 

 rower, more globose, and about twice as long as the posterior 

 lobe which is more strongly punctate, anterior lobe with a 

 central, longitudinal, fasciate, flat impression ; scutcllum 

 about as broad as long, subtriangular, thickly punctate, 

 extreme apex ochraceous ; corium broadened on apical area ;
