 spines. Tegmiua hyaline, the nervures towards the base whitish, 

 and those towards the extremity broadly brown ; a large brown

 and upward beyond the level of the head, suddenly and squarely 

 truncated at the extremity, bicarinate both above and below, 

 besides the lateral carinse ; central spine rather broad at the base, 

 nearly straight, and depressed to the level of the tegmina, ex- 

 tending for one fourth of its length beyond the pale spot on the 

 tegmina ; a well-marked dorsal and two lateral carinse, the latter
