Dimensions. — f —Length, 1.25 inches; elytra equal to the body; 
hind femora, 0.7 inch; hind tibiae, 0.64 ingh. m —Length, 0.9 to 1

This species is probably found throughout the State, but is not 
abundant.

Vertex rather broad; foveola slightly elongate, open in front, with 
a slight depression at the tip; lateral foveolae minute, shallow; frontal 
costa sulcate from the ocellus down, slightly contracted immediately 
below the ocellus. Pronotum contracted and wrinkled in front; last

This species appears to be found throughout the United States and 
although never very abundant is yet common during the summer. It 
is one of our most easily recognized species by its broad black wings 
which are very conspicuous.
