 from above with a slight brassy luster, the oblong node at the 

 pronotal humeral angles, some small obscure specks here and 

 there on the corium, fateral margins of prosternum and epipleura 

 of corium dark ferruginous, a dot on inner claval vein before its 

 middle and on cubital vein of corium in a line with scutellar 

 apex whitish, membrane subolivaceous black, its veins here aiid 

 there tinged with whitish; antennae and rostrum brownish 

 testaceous, first antennal joint fuscous, fourth with a pale 

 yellowish annulation in the basal half ; legs black, tibiae and tarsi 

 brownish testaceous. Head as broad as half the basal width of 

 pronotum, a little broader than long, impunctate both above and 

 beneath, anteocular part distinctly longer than eyes, clypeus 

 somewhat longer than juga, antennae more than half the length 

 of the body, first joint passing apex of head by more than half 

 its length, second not quite twice the length of first, third 

 slightly shorter than second, fourth subequal to third, rostrum 

 reaching middle of third ventral segment, first joint a little 

 passing anterior margin of prosternum. Pronotum without a 

 distinct collar and not transversely impressed on disk, coarsely 

 and not very densely punctate, with a broad transverse im- 

 punctate area in the apical half, and a fine impressed longitud- 

 inal median line in the basal half, lateral margins narrowly 

 carinate, almost straight, but somewhat rounded near apex, 

 basal margin straight. Scutellum almost plane, rather coarsely 

 and sparsely punctate, more finely and thickly so near base. 

 Corium thickly punctate, median vein simple, arising from 

 middle of radial vein. Pectus coarsely and rather thickly punc- 

 tate, more thinly so on propleura, posterior border of metapleura 

 impunctate, evaporative area small, much narrower than the 

 remaining part of the metapleura, extending outward just 

 beyond apex of orificium, its outer margin somewhat rounded. 

 Abdomen beneath extremely superficially punctate. Front 

 femora beneath near apex with two setae, but not spinous.
