Length 9 mm. Pale yellowish, whitish below, a black stripe each side start. 
in g from the eye and running back to the base of the anal tubercle, on the abdomen 
it is very much maculose, broader, and connected to the one on the opposite 
side; legs and furcula pale hyaline. Body clothed with short fine simple scattered 
hairs, those on the abdomen recurved. Antennae rather long and slender, the first 
joint’no longer than broad, the second twice as long, the third as long as both 
together, the fourth twice as long as the third, indistinctly subdivided into eight or 
nine joints, the basal one the longer; legs of moderate length, slender, apparently 
but one claw and a tenent hair at tip; at the tip of the abdomen near the base of the 
anal tubercle there is on each side a distinct conical apparently corneus horn or 
tubercle, seen from above they project somewhat outward; furcula of moderate 
length, the dentes longer than the d,ameter of the anal tubercle, with some fine hairs 
below, the mucrones remarkably short and weak, about one-fourth as long as the 
dentes and very much smaller in diameter, minutely serrate below. 
Several specimens swept from weeds on Harbor Hill, L. I., N. Y., 
in May. Readily recognized by the pattern, and the tubercles at tip 
of the abdomen.
