Description 2
Head, face, rostrum, pronotum and scutellum luteous, the last with a few pitchy markings. Tegmina black, with a basal patch, a short subcostal streak, and a number of irregular spots (mostly situated on basal third of teg- mina, but a few extending to commencement of apical third) luteous-these spots are inconstant in number and size-nervures reticulated, those of apical third brownish. Wings hyaline, with the nervures black and the inner and outer margins broadly of the same colour, much more widely so at apex, and rather paler on inner margin. Abdomen above reddish, with the basal third black. Under side of body luteous; abdomen with dull reddish shadings and two large obconical black spots on apical segment. Anterior and intermediate legs black, with bases of femora luteous; hind coxæ and femora luteous, the last with a black subapical band, and the apex, and tarsi reddish. tibiæ
The pronotum has two fovea on disc, separated by a raised central longitudinal line; the tegmina and wings have the nervures very closely reticulated, very indis- tinctly, however, on the central hyaline portion of the wings; the abdomen has a central longitudinal keel; ros- trum reaching a little beyond posterior coxæ; legs some- what pilose; hind tibiæ armed with a marginal row of five spines, of which the basal two are small and obscure.
