 mina and wings pale hyaline and talc-like ; tegmina with costal and 

 basal half of venation ochraceous, remainder fuscous ; transverse veins 

 at the bases of the second and third apical areas infuscated. Width of 

 head, between the outer margins of the eyes, rather less than that of the 

 pronotum at the base ; pronotum a little more than twice as broad as 

 long ; face with the base much elevated, somewhat narrowing to the 

 apex, distinctly longitudinally sulcated, and strongly transversely striate :

 frons tumid, basal spot ferruginous : thorax anteriorly much narrower

 sli""htly converging backwards, and in the markings. In the form and 

 structure of the tegmina, abdomen, and spine of posterior trochanters, it 

 agrees with T. hrunneus (Stdl) .
