Scutel rugose, more or less carinate, and ending in an acute 

 spine which latter is sometimes channeled; female antennae 

 13-jointed, subclavate, male antennae 14-jointed, filiform, 

 the third joint a little shorter than the fourth Solenaspis p. 366

Males: characters the same as in the corresponding females 



except antennae which are 15-jointed, and other particulars

10. Marginal cell closed along front margin; wings bare, glabrous,
