Head red, oblong, flattened, seen from above little prominent ; frons 

 rounded and produced in a small horn curved backwards and scarcely 

 reaching the middle of the pronotum, compressed on the sides and 

 grooved ; front of the head oblong, labrum elongate, broad in front, ending 

 in a point and covering the base of the rostrum ; the rostrum is longer 

 than the head, four-jointed, tip extending to and passing a little beyond 

 the last pair of cox83 : pronotum black, sinuate in front, finely bordered 

 red, very slightly emarginate behind, about four times broader than long : 

 mesonotum triangular, not so long as broad, almost twice as broad in 

 the middle as the pronotum, ending posteriorly in an acute point ; it is 

 black with a broad, transverse, rounded, red patch in the middle : the 

 metanotum is not so broad and has several impressions and a smooth 

 elevation in the middle ; it is blackish varied with red and has several 

 white farinose patches : there is a small brown triangular piece at the 

 base of the pronotum which covers the articulation of the tegmina ; the 

 tegmina are oblong a little amplified at the apex ; two and half time 

 longer than broad ; veins numerous, of a bright reddish brown especial-

 beyond the middle ; tip of saffron-yellow passing gradually into red ; 

 between the black patches and the red are large white farinose patches 

 larger at the base and towards the side, which is also marked by large 

 black patches or spots which become smaller towards the tip and form 

 small patches which border the tegmina : wings black with the exterior 

 border brown and the internal margin near the abdomen pale and a lit- 

 tle transparent ; they are marked with white rounded patches, farinose 

 and thicker at the base : the abdomen above and beneath brown, orange- 

 yellow towards the borders of the segments, covered above almost entire-
