Elytra pale, transparent, sometimes of a milky hue, the base, a narrow band 
before the middle, frequently much interrupted or sometimes nearly oblite- 
rated, and another broader one before the apex, brown. 
Head yellow; crown with a black, almost square, spot on each side of the middle 
keel. Face more or less pitchy-brown, darkest along the lower margin, keels 
yellow or whitish-yellow. Clypeus brownish, middle keel yellow, side keels 
pitchy-brown (in the $, the entire clypeus and keels are generally yellow). 
Antenne yellow. 
Thoraw: pronotum yellow, more or less brown between the keels. Scutellum 
pitchy-black, or deep chestnut-brown, apex transversely wrinkled, middle 
keel paler than the disc, not reaching the apex distinctly, but appearing to 
terminate in a line with the apex of the side keels. EHlytra: nerves pale 
yellowish, granules black, of slightly irregular size, and placed at irregular 
intervals, frequently in pairs diagonally towards the apex, each granule bearing 
a short black hair; junction of the nerves with the marginal nerve round the 
apex black, the spot generally of a triangular shape; the band before the 
middle is sometimes entirely obliterated or composed of one or two patches, 
or its position is alone indicated by a small patch next the anterior margin ; 
the inner margin of the band before the apex always commences on the 
anterior margin in a line with the base of the cuneate patch, and curves 
inwards to the first transverse nerve from whence it passes almost straight 
across to the apex of the clavus. Wings pale, or somewhat fuscous, or fre- 
quently the inner portion towards and at the apex dark fuscous; nerves 
fuscous. Legs more or less fuscous-yellow.
