 the dots in patches on the pronotnm and scutellum in the form of irregular 

 transverse lines: a smooth longitudinal line on the head and pronotum also 

 two or four small spots arranged in a transverse row before the middle 

 on the pronotum, and a continned line within the anterior margins and 

 the lateral anterior, smooth, this continued line ends within the row of 

 densely accumulated black dots : dorsum of abdomen rufescent, testa-

 antennae slender, second joint distinctly longer than the first, third 

 almost more than half longer than the second, fuscous near the apex : 

 pronotnm more than twice broader than long ; scutellum posteriorly a 

 little less densely punctured, with three small basal spots and the extreme 

 part of the basal margin smooth : hemelytra punctured fuscous-ferrugi-
