brane, distal four-fifths of antennal segment 1, ostiolar peritreme,
distal four-fifths of procoxae and mesocoxae, entire metacoxae,
and proximal third of metafemora white; proximal fifth of antennal
segment 1, distal two-thirds of metafemora, and abdomen castaneous; thoracic pleura and venter dark brown to black; labial segment 1 and proximal fifth of procoxae and mesocoxae reddish; antennal segments 2, 3, and 4, labial segments 2, 3, and 4, profemora
and mesofemora, all tibiae, and all tarsal segments light brown;
apical two-fifths of membrane and apices of cells smoky brown,
remainder of membrane almost white.
Head pronotum, scutellum, and thoracic pleura finely granular,
dull; hemelytra smooth, dull to weakly shining; abdominal venter
polished, shining; entire dorsum with numerous, very long, erect
or semierect, sericeous hairs; antennal segment 1 with a few long,
semierect, slender spines on interior surface, all segments with rather
dense vestiture of reclining light hairs of length about equal to diameter of segment on which they occur; abdomen with numerous, long,
semierect, light hairs; all femora and tibiae with short, decumbent,
light hairs and long, fine, light, spine-like hairs (many about twice
the length of tibial diameter of leg on which they occur); eyes with
short hairs.
Head declivent; eyes protuberant; vertex broad, posterior margin with fine raised carina; vertex and frons convex; clypeus visible
from above, compressed laterally; antennae inserted just below middle of anterior margin of eyes; antennal segment 1 only slightly enlarged, segment 2 about two-thirds diameter of segment 1, segments
3 and 4 of slightly smaller diameter than segment 2; bucculae weakly
developed; gula short; labial segment 1 reaching onto prosternum,
labium reaching onto anterior third of abdomen; pronotum steeply
inclined, posterior and lateral margins nearly straight; calli obsolete;
mesoscutum exposed, elevated, separated laterally from scutellum
by distinct impression, impression obsolete medially; scutellum
weakly convex; hemelytra parallel sided, lateral margins with obscure finely serrate stridulitrum; cuneal incisure obsolete, cuneal
fracture perpendicular to lateral corial margin; membrane with two
distinct cells, inner vein nearly parallel to mesial margin of cuneus;
abdomen not quite reaching apex or corium; legs moderately long;
inner surface of metafemora glabrous, with coarse granular texture
(stridulatory plectrum); all tibiae with longitudinal rows of tiny,
closely spaced spines; metatarsal segment 1 about half length segment 2, segment 2 subequal in length to segment 3.
