Length, 2.5 millimeters; tegmen, 3.

Luzon, Laguna, Los Baiios (Muir), on bamboo. 



The eggs are laid singly in lines in the stem of young bamboo 

 and covered with a mass of waxy secretion, which is secreted 

 by glands on the sternites beside the ovipositor and transferred 

 from there to the bamboo by the aid of the hind tarsi. The 

 newly hatched nymphs have the antennae terete, the first joint 

 broader than long, the length of second about twice its width, 

 the arista has a comparatively large, round base with a long 

 flagellum. The basal joint increases in length at each ecdysis, 

 at the penultimate it is much longer than the second joint and
