 depression distinctly bordered on both sides ; the oblique 

 depression behind this is wide at the top and rufous in 

 colour; lower down it is narrowed and marked with 

 a few stout keels ; the rest coarsely reticulated. The 

 mesonotum is furrowed down the middle, the furrow 

 becoming gradually wider towards the apex and marked 

 throughout with stout transverse keels ; on either side of 

 the furrow it is aciculated, more faintly towards the sides, 

 where it has a leaden hue ; at the base it is oblique and 

 rufous at the sides ; at the apex it is more rounded and 

 not so abrupt. The four anterior legs are fulvous, the 

 coxae of a more yellowish hue ; the hinder legs are of a

 Wings hyaline with a smoky fulvous tint ; the stigma 

 fulvous ; the costa and stigma darker. Abdomen rufo- 

 fulvous ; the second segment black above. The hinder 

 coxae and trochanters may be slightly marked with black.
