 Head and fore-chest pitchy: head small, transverse, a little 

 narrower than the fore-chest between the shoulders, minutely puuc- 

 tured, forming a triangular and slightly retuse lobe on each side in 

 front ; face conical, much sliorter than the hinder part of the head : 

 fore-chest very roughly punctured, slightly ridged ; shoulders very 

 obtusely angular, not prominent; above them the fore-chest is ver- 

 tical and forms a short and very thick pedestal whose diameter on 

 the length of the thorax is full twice that on its breadth ; above it 

 there is a very large transverse tliinly reticulated semi-elliptical ex- 

 pansion ; the fore-chest is keeled behind and forms a compressed 

 very deep slightly recurved hom whose hind part is slender and 

 extends a little beyond the lip of the abdomen : breast ferruginous : 

 abdomen bright red : legs tawny ; tibia; (especially the fore tibise) 

 widened : wings colourless ; fore-wings rather broad towards their 

 tips, punctured at the base and along a small part of the fore border, 

 obliquely reddish-brown near one-third of the surface from the base; 

 leddish-brown at their tips, when this hue, contrary to that at the 

 base, extends inward from the fore border to the hind border, and 

 thereby the colourless part is almost triangular ; veins pitchy ; no 

 discoidal areolet. Length of the body 3 lines ; of the wings 7 lines.
