Blackish-brown, lighter on the corium and on the lateral and pos- 

 terior margins of the pronotum. Head broad, eyes very stout j ocelli 

 nearer to the eyes than to the median line ; vertex with a longitudinal 

 impression ; the border of the head, margined : tylus broader in the 

 middle than towards the tip ; pronotum strongly margined in front with 

 a longitudinal line and impressions ; anterior disc smooth, shining, not 

 punctured (except on the sides which are finely punctured), transverse 

 groove very distinct, with a line of dots ; posterior disc weakly punc- 

 tured : seutellum blunt at the tip, sparingly punctured on the disc-, 

 more so but more finely on the lateral margins : hemelytra strongly 

 punctured along the cubital veins with two rows of lines on the clavus, 

 the corium very finely punctured at the tip, almost smooth at the base i 

 membrane hyaline yellow : meso- and meta-sternum dull : ostiolar canal 

 very long but not extending beyond the margin, ending in a lobe trun- 

 cated at the tip, rounded behind, with a median canal which disappears 

 towards the terminal lobe (Sign.). Long, 3^ ; broad 1| mill.

A. S. E. F. (6 8.) iii, p. 520, t. 15, f, 202 (1883). 



This species is distinguishable by the serrated margins of ther 

 pronotum and of the base of the hemelytra from the teeth of which 

 issue hairs, nine on the pronotum and six on the hemelytra. Light 

 chestnut brown, shining, weakly punctured on the head ; tylus very 

 convex and much amplified in the middle, narrow at the tip and on the 

 vertex much broader than the juga : pronotum strongly margined in 

 front, with 3 — 4 stout points behind the anterior indentation, the anterior 

 disc smooth, shining, longer than the posterior, very convex, and se- 

 parated from the latter by a strong punctured impression ; beyond the 

 groove on the posterior disc are some twelve stouter points and on the 

 groove on each side of the eyes, 3 — 4 stout points : seutellum blunt, 

 rounded at the tip, sparingly and strongly punctured on the disc, a 

 little more abundantly on the sides : hemelytra sparingly punctured
