vein, coarsely and rather regularly reticulated, especially the 
anterior field in the male. The musical organs of the male are 
conspicuous. They consist of a pair of taborets, ''formed by a 
thin and transparent membrane stretched in a strong half-oval 
frame in the triangular overlapping portion of each wing-cover" 
(Harris), much depressed below the marginal framework. The 
head is broad and short, with small globose eyes and pointed 
vertex shallowly excavate above and emarginate on the face 
between the bases of the antennae. The jaws are exceptionally 
large and strong, with a formidable row of prominent teeth.
