  Thorax 
  : 
  prothorax 
  moderately 
  broad, 
  considerably 
  sinuated 
  above 
  the 
  spiracle 
  

   on 
  the 
  posterior 
  edge, 
  coarsely 
  reticulate 
  all 
  over, 
  smooth, 
  with 
  many 
  short 
  bristles 
  

   (40-45) 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  of 
  a 
  narrow 
  smooth 
  depressed 
  area, 
  and 
  a 
  posterior 
  or 
  marginal 
  

   row 
  of 
  twelve 
  stronger 
  bristles. 
  The 
  prosternum 
  is 
  a 
  truncate 
  square 
  with 
  two 
  short 
  

   liairs 
  before 
  the 
  posterior 
  edge. 
  

  

  Mesonotum 
  considerably 
  longer 
  than 
  broad. 
  Parapsidal 
  furrows 
  widely 
  apart, 
  

   deep 
  ; 
  parapsides 
  deeply 
  invaded 
  by 
  axillae. 
  Mid 
  lobe 
  with 
  25-30 
  short 
  hairs, 
  of 
  

   which 
  a 
  pair 
  at 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  apex 
  are 
  stronger 
  ; 
  parapsides 
  with 
  about 
  a 
  dozen 
  

   hairs 
  ; 
  axillae 
  bare. 
  Scutellum 
  oblong 
  quadrate, 
  with 
  two 
  widely 
  separated 
  deep 
  

   lateral 
  sulci 
  meeting 
  the 
  suture 
  outside 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  parapsidal 
  furrows 
  and 
  con- 
  

   current 
  with 
  the 
  inner 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  axillae. 
  There 
  are 
  also 
  two 
  faint 
  impressed 
  lines 
  

   forming 
  a 
  square 
  with 
  the 
  anterior 
  and 
  posterior 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  scutellum. 
  The 
  end 
  of 
  

   the 
  parapsidal 
  furrow 
  bisects 
  the 
  distance 
  between 
  the 
  lateral 
  and 
  the 
  faint 
  inner 
  

   scutellar 
  furrows 
  ; 
  from 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  suture 
  two 
  narrow 
  lines 
  go 
  to 
  the 
  posterior 
  

   ends 
  of 
  the 
  faint 
  lateral 
  furrows. 
  The 
  square 
  mid 
  lobe 
  of 
  the 
  scutellum 
  is 
  bare 
  ; 
  

   on 
  the 
  narrow 
  lateral 
  lobes 
  are, 
  on 
  each 
  side, 
  a 
  strong 
  and 
  a 
  weaker 
  short 
  bristle, 
  

   and 
  a 
  curious 
  minute 
  knob 
  on 
  the 
  suture. 
  The 
  reticulation 
  of 
  the 
  mesothorax 
  is 
  

   comparatively 
  even, 
  all 
  the 
  cells 
  being 
  drawn 
  out 
  and 
  pointed 
  ; 
  anteriorly 
  the 
  parap- 
  

   sides 
  are 
  coarsest. 
  On 
  the 
  mid 
  lobe 
  the 
  surface 
  inside 
  the 
  cells 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  raised. 
  

   The 
  scutellum, 
  though 
  densely 
  reticulate 
  like 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  mesothorax, 
  is 
  com- 
  

   paratively 
  smooth, 
  the 
  pattern 
  on 
  the 
  lateral 
  lobes 
  being 
  extremely 
  finely 
  drawn 
  out. 
  

   The 
  mesophragma 
  is 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  scutellum 
  ; 
  mesopleurae, 
  with 
  furrow, 
  entirely 
  

   smooth 
  ; 
  mesoprepectus 
  with 
  coarse 
  striate 
  reticulation, 
  except 
  along 
  the 
  anterior 
  

   edge, 
  with 
  two 
  minute 
  hairs 
  at 
  ventral 
  angle 
  ; 
  mesosternum 
  smooth, 
  but 
  with 
  

   faint 
  reticulation 
  posteriorly, 
  nearly 
  bare, 
  save 
  for 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  minute 
  hairs 
  on 
  

   each 
  side 
  near 
  hind 
  edge.
