 long, the basai latéral area with the keel rounded at the base on the inner side, then sloping 

 obliquely to the outer edge of the 2id ; it then runs obliquely to the outer basai edge of the 

 metanotum; the 2° d area is oblique, wider than long, of equal width. Mesonotum smooth, 

 the furrows reaching to shortly beyond the middle. The sides of the scutellum are stoutly 

 keeled, distinctly furrowed inside the keel; the apical slope is somewhat steep and is stoutly 

 keeled laterally. Mesonotum smooth on the upper half above and at the apex, the rest finely

 roundly narrowed, the apex slightly incised, the 4* smaller, semicircular, the 5H1 not half its 

 size, almost round, the 6^ the largest of ail, broad, transverse, the 2 almost touching in the

 hyaline, the apex narrowly clouded, the nervures and stigma black, the areolet shortly appen- 

 diculated, the récurrent nervure received in the middle; in front it is straight and oblique to
