Olive. Front bluish. Face below tawny-yellow, above whitish, 

 almost vanishing in the male. Antennae with the third joint elongate

 male the intermediate femora beneath are doubly pectinated, the anterior 

 row ending before the tip, the other row of shorter spines interrupted ; 

 the tibia sinuated at the base, thickened after the first third on to the 

 blackish tip, pectinated with long spines in front, beneath with a row 

 of shorter ones, interrupted near the base ; the metatarsus short, thick-

 and again before the tip ; tJie tibia is pectinated inside with short spines 

 from the base nearly to the middle, where it is bent, and after this again 

 begins a double row of longer spines ; the metatarsus is only as long as
