 yellowish; scutellum with basal angles, two discal spots, and 

 incised transverse line, dark ; point of vertex carmine ; antennal 

 scrobes, band across anterior coxae, and hind tarsi, dark. Abdo- 

 men yellowish, the incisures above, and all below apically, dark. 

 Tegmina brown, tip narrowly whitish translucent, the veins 

 red, nearly every cell with a small irregular whitish translucent 

 spot on its disk. Costal margin with 3 translucent spots on 

 its basal half and a much larger costal spot on its apical half.

Clypeus slightly expanded dis- 

 tally, the apex not emarginate. 

 The whole face is evenly finely 

 shagreened. Front a little 

 more than twice its greatest 

 width, medially finely but dis- 

 tinctly carinate. Lorse suddenly

anteriorly curve down on to the 

 temples, reaching the antennal scrobes; the median carina is 

 distinct only posteriorly, disk depressed, its surface strongly 

 sublongitudinally rugose, anteriorly the rugae bend obliquely 

 toward the apex. Ocelli nearer to median line than to eyes. 

 Pronotum nearly three times wider than long, not at all tuber- 

 culate, but minutely rather sparsely pitted and roughened, and 

 with a subobsolete median carina. Lateral carina of pronotum 

 entire, below this shining, the upper part minutely roughened. 

 Scutellum shagreened nearly throughout. Hind margin of last 

 ventral segment of female truncate.
