  the 
  lower 
  nervure 
  is 
  faint; 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  the 
  

   recurrent 
  nervure 
  is 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  cubital 
  by 
  a 
  bulla 
  ; 
  

   there 
  is 
  another 
  bulla 
  shortly 
  above 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  

   nervure 
  ; 
  so 
  that, 
  with 
  these 
  two 
  bullae, 
  a 
  small 
  piece 
  of 
  

   the 
  nervure 
  is 
  completely 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  rest.

  Mesonotum 
  of 
  a 
  

   brighter, 
  less 
  pallid, 
  yellow 
  hue 
  than 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  thorax 
  ; 
  

   its 
  central 
  lobe 
  roundly 
  raised, 
  not 
  depressed 
  in 
  the 
  middle; 
  

   the 
  depression 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the

  wide 
  and 
  deep 
  ; 
  

   its 
  middle 
  keel 
  reaching 
  near 
  to 
  the 
  base. 
  The 
  base 
  of 
  

   the 
  scutellum 
  has 
  a 
  straight, 
  oblique 
  slope 
  and 
  is 
  keeled 
  

   at 
  the 
  top, 
  is 
  almost 
  impunctate 
  and 
  glabrous, 
  and 
  has 
  at 
  

   the 
  apex 
  a 
  stout, 
  slightly 
  curved 
  keel. 
  The 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  

   median 
  segment 
  has 
  a 
  semi-oblique 
  slope, 
  is 
  stoutly 
  keeled 
  

   round 
  the 
  apex 
  and 
  down 
  the 
  middle 
  ; 
  the 
  central 
  area 
  is 
  

   longer 
  than 
  its 
  breadth, 
  triangular 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  transverse 
  

   at 
  the 
  apex, 
  and 
  has 
  a 
  stout, 
  transverse 
  keel 
  shortly 
  beyond 
  

   the 
  middle 
  ; 
  the 
  lateral 
  areae 
  next 
  to 
  it 
  are 
  slightly 
  

   wider 
  than 
  it 
  is 
  at 
  the 
  top, 
  but 
  distinctly 
  narrower 
  at 
  the 
  

   bottom 
  ; 
  the 
  keel 
  bounding 
  the 
  spiracular 
  area 
  at 
  the 
  apex 
  

   is 
  curved, 
  slightly 
  oblique.
