Thorax and scutellum roughly punctured. Thorax in front with a band 
of four dingy testaceous calli; sides of the same hue; horns obtuse at the

base, black beneath towards the lips. Scutellum attenuated, acute. 
Pectus and under side of abdomen with black lines on the sutures of the 
segments. Abdomen beneath with black marginal spots ; hind angles of 
the segments forming short spines, those of the apical segment not 
longer than the four intermediate spines. Legs red. Fore wings thickiy 
and minutely punctured ; membrane dark aeneous-brown. Length of the
