 breves, graciles, oblique ascendentes, capitis latitudine breviores; 

 articulus 3us lanceolatus, 2i dimidio non brevior. 'Antennae graciles, 

 setulosae. Abdomen alas posticas non superans ; fasciculus apicalis 

 maximus. Pedes robusti, laeves ; calcaria longa, gracilia. Alae 

 anticae elongatae, apice rotundatae, costa subconvexa, margiue exte- 

 riore convexo sat obliquo. 



Male. Body rather stout. Proboscis moderately long. Palpi
