The lateral margins of the pronotum are biangulated, the 

 face is large and tumid, the rostrum reaches the third abdo- 

 minal segment, and the body is more or less greyish and 

 pilose. 



This species much resembles the Dunduhia ? cUo, Walk. ; 

 but it can be separated at once from that species by the very 

 much shorter upper apical area to the tegmina &c.

 the area of the ocelli, and a transverse streak in front of eyes

 ochraceous, with an indistinct, central, longitudinal fascia, on 

 each side of which are two oblique excavated lines ; the mar- 

 gins pale ochraceous. Mesonotum obscure ochraceous, with

 on each side of which is a curved broken fascia of the same 

 colour, and a large spot in front of the cruciform basal eleva- 

 tion. Abdomen above ochraceous, with a broad, central, 

 castaneous fascia, which is notched and channelled outwardly ; 

 stigmata also castaneous. Body beneath and legs ochraceous ; 

 apices of the femora, bases and apices of the tibise, the tarsi, 

 a spot on apical segment of abdomen, and apex of the rostrum

 milky-white suflfusiou or reflexion. Tegmina with the veins 

 alternately ochraceous and castaneous ; the costal membrane 

 and a small costal spot at base of upper ulnar area ochraceous ; 

 transverse veins at bases of apical areas more or less infus-

The body is long and gradually tapering towards apex ; 

 the lateral margins of the pronotum are concavely sinuate, 

 not angulated. The face is broad and tumid, the central 

 sulcation small and only distinct on apical half ; the trans- 

 verse ridges prominent. The rostrum extends a little beyond 

 posterior coxse. The opercula are small, only reaching the 

 basal segment of the abdomen ; they are outwardly oblique, 

 broadly convex at apices, and again obliquely directed 

 inwardly and upwardly.
