Head, most of pronotum and abdomen, except genitalia, stram- 

 ineous; the following parts virescent: posterior portion of pro- 

 notum, clavus at base and extreme apex, 2 inner sectors of 

 corium apically, clypeus, forelegs, middle and hind tibiae except 

 base, all tarsi, and the genitalia. Tegmina albescent, the veins in 

 apical area fuscescent. Length 2 , 7 mm. 



Length of face greater than width across eyes (fig. 2, b) . 

 Front and clypeus strongly ridged, on former the ridge sharply 

 carinate, surface adjoining ridge depressed, broadly so on upper 

 part of front. Lateral faces of front convex and with about 9 

 weak, incomplete ridges; surface otherwise only irregularly and 

 very minutely roughened. Facial ridge terminating in central 

 swollen portion of clypeus; apical angles of clypeus depressed 

 and laminate, length of clypeus about half that of front. Tem- 

 ples with a lobular extension of ledge above scrobe extending 

 over the lateral margin of front (hidden in facial view) . Ocel- 

 lar sulcus very narrow at apex of head and continuous except for 

 a minute, blackish median carina, laterally twice suddenly 

 broadened, the ocellus less than its own width from the eyes. 

 Length of vertex more than half its width between the eyes, 

 its plane parallel with the long axis of the body; the profound 

 discal concavity of the vertex medially carinate, the carina brown- 

 ish anteriorly, the surface of the area minutely tuberculate ; the 

 thick basal transverse ridge nearly straight, and with a brownish 

 dot at center, the thin extremities of this ridge obliquely con- 

 tinued to behind eyes. 



Pronotum (fig. 2; a) about three times the length of vertex; 

 the lateral margin about two and one half times into the width; 

 the marginal carina strong, straight, and complete ; pleurse deeply 

 furrowed and with a short transverse carina at two thirds of the 

 depth. Sculpturing of the pronotum and pleurag a very coarse 

 and continuous bordered thimble-pitting, at the bottom of each pit 

 a minute setigerous tubercle, exactly the peculiar character of 

 sculpturing found in Ulopa, Megophthalmus. and Pythamus: 

 a strong narrow depression from one lateral angle to the other,
