A renin clearly longer than wide, O-aiiiiled, tbe apical 



half obliquf"!}' "arrowed, the apex transverse, the 



lateral area stronjrly punclnred ; scutelliun with- 



ont a deep furrow in the middle ; thelveds on the 



centre of tlie first abdominal si gnient not uniting 



at the apex, straight ; ar. olet not appendiculated ; 



the hind femora rufous prirpnreotinctvs. 



Areola as long as wide, not angled, its apex broadly 



rounded, the lateral area smooth ; pcutellum with 



a deep furrow in the middle ; the Iseels on first 



abdominal segment roundly curved and uniting 



at the apex ; the areolet shortly appendiculated ; 



tlie bind femora black areolatwi. 



The coloration is the same otherwise, except that tlie 

 juirple tint on the abdomen commences on the second segment, 

 that the scutellar keels are yellow, and that the lines on the 

 second to fifth abdominal segments are narrower, of more 

 uniform thickness, and more yellowish in colour. Tlie 

 puncturation is pretty much the same ; on the second seg- 

 ment of the abdomen it is stronger and more irregular, that 

 segment, too, being shorter compared with the widtii ; the 

 keels on the second to fourth segments are narrow, but 

 distinct. The calcaria are all whitish. The abdoiuen is 

 shorter, too, compared with the thorax.

Luteous ; the head pale yellow. The wings hyaline, the 

 nervures black, the stigma testaceous : there are two horny 

 points, the basal large, broad and transverse at the base; the 

 base above narrow, transverse ; from there it becomes 

 gradually roundly narrowed to a fine point at the apex ; the 

 second point is close to tlie middle of the basal abscissa of 

 the radius; it is longish, narrow, roundly curved towards the 

 radius. Scutellum distinctly keeled laterally from the base 

 to the apex ; the basal half smooth, the apical finely, closely, 

 longitudinally striated. Base of metanotuni smooth ; the 

 depression with some stout strise ; the rest is stoutly striated, 

 the striae clearly sei)aiated ; in the centre of the base is a 

 short straight stria ; the strife at the sides of tliis are longi- 

 tudinal and straiglit at the base, then curving out obliquely 

 to the sides; the stiias on the apical slope are roundly curved 

 from side to side. The centre of propleurse finely obliquely 

 Btiiated ; the lower half of the mesopleurre longitudinally
