Figures 19, 20, 28 
Head pale; a faint indication of an interantennal dark 
band ; first row of vertex scars unpigmented — a dash on 
each side and double medial scar; behind is a pair of in- 
distinct brown submedian spots; last segment of labial 
palpi large, strongly swollen (Figure 28) ; antennae pale, 
club infuscate, flagellar segments all broader than long. 
Pronotum gray-brown, a pair of small submedian spots be- 
fore furrow; behind furrow a pair of wide median brown 
bands, broadly separated by pale posteriorly ; a short lateral 
dark stripe each side. Nota mostly infuscate, a pair of broad 
brown stripes on mesoscutellum. Propleuron dark, mesane- 
pisternum with a brown stripe below, rest of pleura pale; 
mesepimeral wing process light ochraceous. Coxae pale; 
a small basal brown spot ; femora pale, very faintly spotted 
with brown ; large apical brown spot on anterior side ; tibiae 
lightly brown-dotted; tarsi pale. All setae, including long 
seta on fore femur, pale, darkest ones a light yellow brown 
in color. Fore tibial spurs only as long as 2 tarsomeres, hind 
spurs, 1 1/2 tarsomeres. 
First abdominal tergite pale, second dark with apical 
pale spot, third-sixth with small median pale spots at base 
and apex, and with large subbasal spot each side, broadly 
confluent medially and containing a dark spot each side. 
Apical tergites darker, with markings indistinct. Sternites 
pale to middle of 4th, beyond dark. 
Venation largely pale; in fore wings most cross veins 
dark at ends ; longitudinal veins dark where intersected by 
dark cross veins; each dark intersection surrounded by a 
small gray cloud in membrane; larger spots at apex of 
hypostigmatic cell, rhegma, and end of CuA 2 . In hind wing 
venation paler, membrane scarcely marked, dark spots at 
apex of hypostigmatic cell and rhegma.
