 somewhat triangular black mark ; the mesopleurae slightly 

 punctured ; in the centre at the apex is a black mark,

 middle coxae is a larger, somewhat similarly shaped, black 

 mark ; the metapleurse smooth, impunctate, black, except 

 an elongate mark at the top, and a shorter, broader and 

 more irregularly-shaped one over the coxae. The legs 

 are uniformly coloured, except the hind coxae and the 

 basal joint of the hinder trochanters, which are black. The

 recurrent nervures, the latter being received almost in the 

 centre of the cellule. Abdomen smooth, shining, im- 

 punctate ; the gastrocoeli indistinct, closely punctured.
