 almost as long as the first ; body oval, a little convex ; corium twice as 

 large as the membrane : scutellum angular at the tip : the meso-and 

 meta-sternal plaques mates very large, the upper reaching the lateral 

 margin above the mesosternal furrow : the ostiolar canal which reaches 

 the middle of the metasternal space is more or less waved and ends in a 

 tubercle or rounded or angulated lobe ; it is emarginate beneath with a
