VESTITURE: Sparsely setose. Entire surface of head with short, recumbent and erect setae, some scattered longer erect setae on postocular lobe, especially ventrally. Anterior pronotal lobe with short, recumbent to short, erect setae, confined to setal tracts dorsally, longer setae laterally; posterior pronotal lobe with short, recumbent and moderate, erect setae. Abdomen with short, recumbent and erect and scattered, longer erect setae. STRUCTURE: Head: Cylindrical, L/W = 2.37. Postocular lobe long; in dorsal view anteriorly gradually narrowing, posterior portion constant, slightly narrower. Eye smallish; lateral margin only slightly wider than postocular lobe; dorsal and ventral margins removed from surfaces of head. Labium: I: II: III = 1: 2.1: 0.4. Basiflagellomere diameter larger than that of pedicel. Thorax: Anterolateral angle subtuberculate; medial longitudinal sulcus shallow near collar, deepening posteriorly. Posterior pronotal lobe with rugulose surface; disc distinctly elevated above humeral angle; humeral angle armed, with dentate projection. Scutellum long; apex slightly pointed. Legs: Very slender, femoral diameters subequal. Hemelytron: Slightly surpassing apex of abdomen, not more than length of abdominal segment seven; quadrate cell small; Cu and M of cubital cell subparallel. GENITALIA: (Fig. 157) Pygophore: Ovoid; not expanded laterally in dorsal view. Medial process blade-like; very slender; long, only slightly shorter than paramere; laterally compressed; semi-erect; nearly straight; apex slightly curved, acute, without modification. Paramere: Cylindrical; moderately long, achieving apex of medial process; directed posteriad; slightly curved dorsad; apical portion not enlarged, apex acute or rounded. Phallus: Dorsal phallothecal sclerite shield-shaped; small indentation of lateral margin at about mid-point; apical portion of phallothecal sclerite distinctly tapered, slightly convex, laterally rounded, not forming angle; posterior margin of foramen deeply concave. Struts attached to dorsal phallothecal sclerite; apically fused; basally fused. Basal plate arm slender; basally fused; in lateral view very slightly curved; bridge extremely short; extension of basal plate small, laterally expanded onto arm.</paragraph>

This varies from a very light to a medium reddish-brown in any given geographic area. This pronotal variation is absent in the females, the dorsal surface varying from a relatively uniform light to medium brown in any geographic area.</paragraph>
