Blaclc, shining', convex, regularly elliptical. Head slightly rugnlose 
on each side. Eyes piceous. Antennae tawny. Thorax and scutellum 
very finely punctured, the former smooth in front. Legs stout; tibi® 
thickly spinose; tarsi pale yellow. Fore wings rather more finely punctured 
than the thorax ; membrane colourless. Length of the body 2 lines. 
It much resembles pallidicornis, but is rather smaller and the 
antenn® are of one colour. The colourless membrane will distinguish it 
from maurus, and its broader form from pygmceus and from 
apicalis.
