posterior part of the thorax, anteriorly very obtusely rounded : frous 

 seen from above truncated, scarcely prominulous before the juga, slightly 

 convex, sides distinctly furrowed : thorax somewhat narrowed forwards 

 beyond the middle, thence forming an angle prominulous in a minute 

 tooth, anteriorly more narrowed : tegmina extending beyond the abdomen 

 by ha'lf their length ; the first anastomosis rather oblique, interior ulnar 

 area gradually very slightly narrowed towards the apex, much obliquely 

 truncated at the apex, interior apical angle obtuse, somewhat rounded : 

 first pair of femora bi-spinose beneath {Stdl).

S Head, frons with a central fascia furcate anteriorly and an ob- 

 lique spot on each side at the base ; vertex with a large triangular spot 

 inclosing the ocelli and an irregular longitudinal fascia near the inner 

 margin of the eyes, black : pronotum with two central longitudinal fascioa 

 joined and rounded near posterior margin, widened and angulated near 

 anterior margin, on each side of these is a small discal waved line and 

 two oblique fasciae near the lateral margins (the outer one submarginal 

 and rounded) black : mesonotum with a central longitudinal fascia, on 

 each side of which is a clavate, smaller and suboblique fascia, followed 

 by two linear spots on the anterior margin and a discal waved irregular 

 fascia on each side. Abdomen with the segments (excluding first) 

 more or less piceous at the base and with a lateral segmental row of 

 piceous spots : body beneath ochraceous and unicolorous. Tegmina and 

 wings pale hyaline, the former with the venation of the basal half, ochra- 

 ceous, and of the apical half, fuscous ; transverse veins at the base of the 

 2-3 apical areas, fuscous-ochraceous at the junction. The head, includ- 

 ing the eyes, is considerably narrower than the base of the pronotum, 

 the face is only moderately convex, furrowed from beyond the middle, 

 the sides distinctly striated (the face has also an oblong spot bordered 

 with black at the base and the upper striae are also of that colour). 

 Opercula reach the third abdominal segment, they are moderately trun- 

 cate outwardly, widened and angulated inwardly (but not meeting) on 

 the first abdominal segment and then diverging and narrowing to the 

 apex which is obtuse and rounded ; the inner margin is slightly convex : 

 rostrum reaching a little beyond the last coxae : anterior femora with 

 two strong spines (Distant) .
