Head, thorax, and wings yellowish- white, a little orange on the sides 

 of the mesonotum and at the base of tegmina : head with an oblong 

 patch in the middle of the frons, two approximated dots in the middle 

 of the pronotum, two longitudinal parallel lines in the middle of the 

 mesonotum, and four small dots on the posterior lateral margins, black : 

 tegmina oblong, rounded at the tip, with several brown spots, almost 

 black towards the anterior margin, quadrate, in several places confluent, 

 leaving small white spaces in their midst and forming, towards the tip, 

 three arched parallel bands on the external margin : wings white : 

 beneath and feet pale yellow (Guerin). Long, 12 ; exp. teg., SOmillims.

Head broad, straight or scarcely arched beyond the eyes ; vertex 

 in the form of a very short margin beyond the pronotum, with a slight 

 transverse ridge which separates it from the frons which is broad and 

 has neither a distinct longitudinal ridge nor a transverse groove : ocelli 

 apparently absent : pronotum without a longitudinal median ridge ; 

 mesonotum. with three almost parallel elevated lines : tegmina with 

 longitudinal and forked veins ; of a very fine substance, although slightly 

 opaque ; truncated at the tip ; margins straight, a little broader at the 

 tip than at the base ; external border with very distinct transverse veins ; 

 wings almost as long as the tegmina and much broader at the tip than at 

 the base : vulvar plates in 9 broad, in form of an elongated cone, 

 extending beyond the tip of the abdomen, with a sabre- shaped oviduct, 

 divided into two equal plates, very robust and usually hidden by the 

 vulvar plates : last pair of tibiae unispinose (A. 8f S.) Differs from 

 Copsyrna in having the tegmina truncated at the apex and the head only 

 a little narrower than the thorax.
