Underside of body pale ochraceous ; annulation to anterior 

 femora near their apices, upper surfaces and apices of anterior 

 tibiae, bases and apices of intermediate and posterior tibiae, 

 tarsi, apex of rostrum, and apical portion of last abdominal 

 segment black. Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, the first 

 with the costal membrane and basal portion of venation 

 ochraceous, remaining portion of venation more or less shaded 

 and marked with black or olivaceous and with a black claval 

 streak ; wings with the veins black or ochraceous, and outer 

 claval margin and an inner claval streak fuscous. 



The body is broad and somewhat depressed, the abdomen 

 above moderately pilose. The head, including outer margins 

 of eyes, is subequal in width or a very little narrower than 

 base of pronotum. The rostrum about reaches the centre of 

 first abdominal segment. The opercula are long, strongly 

 compressed and concave near base, and then widened and 

 convex on each side, but narrowing at their apice3, which 

 reach the base of the last abdominal segment. The face is 

 swollen and tumid, with a narrow central longitudinal sulca- 

 tion and strong * transverse striations, the interstices of which 

 are very broad. 



Long. 32 millim., exp. tegm. 88 millim. 



This species is allied to G. oopaga, Dist., from which its 

 smaller size and greater length of opercula at once distin- 

 guish it.
