irregularly spindle-shaped : second joint of the feelers long, linear : 

 epistoma small, slender towards the tip : fore-chest twice the length 

 of the head, truncate-conical in front, slightly concave behind, its 

 length in the middle nearly thrice that on each side : middle-chest 

 about thrice the length of the fore-chest, with a slight middle ridge ; 

 a rim on each side towards the tip, near which there is a cross suture: 

 abdomen obconical, longer than the chest: legs pale dingy straw- 

 colour: wings broad: fore-wings dingy white, truncated along the 

 tips which form acute angles with the hind borders, the latter are 

 tuberculated towards the base ; veins pale yellow ; longitudinal veins 

 numerous; cross-veins very few; fore border slightly convex, tuber- 

 culated at the base, along it a row of parallel cross-veins which 

 towards the tip are more slanting, more apart and mostly shorter : 

 hind-wings almost colourless. Length of the body 3 lines; of the

Bodyluteous, slightly tuberculated : head short; crown arched 

 concave behind, reddish and almost conical in front where there is an 

 angle on each side, longer in the middle than on each side ; front 

 slightly convex, nearly linear on each side, narrower towards the 

 epistoma, bordered by a very distinct reddish rim, very much longer 

 than broad, concave where it joins the epistoma, with a reddish middle 

 ridge: epistoma small: fore-chest arched, very little longer than 

 the head, rather shorter on each side than in the middle : middle- 

 chest rather more than twice the length of the fore-chest: with a 

 slight cross furrow near the tip : abdomen obconical, a little longer 

 than the chest: legs pale luteous; shanks and feet red : wings broad; 

 fore-wings pa.le luteous, reddish and almost truncated along the tips 

 which form nearly right but somewhat rounded angles with the hind 

 borders, the tubercles of the latter extend along the whole length 

 but diminish much towards the tips ; veins luteous ; longitudinal 

 veins rather numerous ; cross-veins very numerous ; fore border con- 

 vex, along three-fourths of it a row of oblique parallel veins which 

 are alternate with little tubercles, and there is a row of the latter
