Testacea ; caput perbreve ; mesothorax Incarinatus ; abdomen oris- 

 tatum; pe<ks straminei ; ala anlica cervince, ad discum 

 limpidtE, apice truncata, margine postico tubercutatce ; al<e 

 postU'te alb(B, 

 Body straw-colour : head very short; crown broad and slightly 

 convex in front ; front flat, a little narrower towards the epistoraa, 

 rounded on each side, bordered by a rim, straight where it joins the 

 epistoma, with a short ridge which extends along- half the length 

 from the crown, and has an impression on each side ; compartment 

 on each side large, very concave; epistoma slightly convex: fore- 

 chest very convex in front, slightly concave behind, bordered by a 

 rim, its length on each side less than half of that in the middle: 

 middle-chest about four times the length of the fore-chest, with three 

 slight ridges : a cross furrow near the tip : abdomen very pale, ob- 

 conical, crested, a little longer than the chest ; appendages rather 

 large, of the usual form : legs pale straw-colour : wings broad : fore- 

 wings pale fawn-colour, almost colourless on the disks, truncated at 

 the tips which form somewhat rounded and slightly obtuse angles 

 with the hind borders, the latter arc tuberculaled along half the 

 length from the base where the tubercles are most numerous and 

 occupy most space; fore border convex, along it a row of parallel 

 cross-veins of equal length blending with a row of longer veins along 

 the tip, these latter are slightly curved and are mostly forked towards 

 their tips ; the vein which parts them from the discoidal region is 

 much waved; longitudinal veins rather numerous, ramified; cross- 

 veins numerous towards the border of the disk: hind-wings white. 

 Length of the body 3^ lines ; of the wings 12 lines.
