this area posteriorly subtruncate. Extreme tip of corium often 

 more or less smoky. 



Head, pronotum, and scutellum finely shagreened throughout; 

 head wider than pronotum ; length of vertex into width between 

 eyes two and three-fourths times, length at middle distinctly 

 greater than at eyes. Face as long as broad ; distance between 

 ocelli three times the distance between ocelli and eyes and once 

 and a half the width of clypeus at base ; front longer than broad ; 

 clypeus of medium width, about as wide apically as basally, apex 

 rather sharply emarginate; lorse far longer than clypeus and 

 about one half as broad. Width of pronotum two and a half 

 times the length, the length less than twice that of vertex. 

 Scutellum as long as pronotum and about one half of vertex 

 together; surface broadly depressed at impressed line, this line 

 angulately bent, open at apex, the lateral limbs not arcuate.

Tegmina with a few, scattering, minute dark punctures on 

 colored portion of clavus; second apical cell long pedunculate. 

 Hind margin of last ventral segment of female long produced 

 medially and slightly emarginate or entire at tip. Hind margin 

 of anal segment of male sinuate, the pygofers very broad at base, 

 narrowing to acute tips, the outer margins long-haired. 



Luzon, Los Baiios, Malinao; Mindanao, Butuan {coll. Baker). 



A common, widely distributed, and very variable species. The 

 median vein of corium is often less darkened, and the yellow of 

 clavus varies in intensity, sometimes being almost absent. Two 

 very distinct varietal forms are worthy of special recognition. 

 One of these (from Butuan, Mindanao) has very broad black 

 commissural margins to anal portion of clavus and heavy black 

 basal lunulse on the scutellum. This may be designated as var. 

 mindanaensis nov. The other (also from Butuan) has the anal 

 two thirds of colored portion of clavus bright red-brown and the
