Antennae short, incrassate, flattened and often weakly expanded basally, barely as long as head and pronotum in male, distinctly shorter and more slender in female. Frontal ridge narrow, sulcate, narrowed at junction with fastigium, divergent below ocellus. Fastigium of vertex moderately concave, elongate-parabolic in male, rounded in female, margins low but distinct; medial carinula distinct sometimes continuing onto occiput, transverse sulcus very weak; fastigial rim narrow. Foveolae weak, often as disjunct scattered pits of varying size, occasionally coalescing into an elongate shallow depression, usually open towards antennal socket. Pronotum somewhat constricted in middle, expanding caudad; typical sulcus strong, others weak or obsolete; medial carina broad, occasionally very narrowly divided lengthways, especially in females; lateral carinae strong, roundly converging towards first sulcus, broadly diverging thereafter, but incurving and weakening or disappearing towards the rear of metazona (latter a little more than half length of prozona, its hind margin broadly emarginate (Figs 268, 269)). Tegmina scale-like, convex, with raised callose veins, about as long as, or very slightly longer than, pronotum; width little more than half their length (Fig. 265). External and internal genital structures typical for group, without marked distinctive features. Hind femora of moderate build, length-width ratio about 4. General coloration striped and marbled in cryptic shades of browns and greys, usually paler dorsally with a more or less marked broad lateral dark fascia extending from antennal socket across genae, upper half of lateral pronotal lobes to pleurae and on to sides of abdomen, where pigmentation often becomes more intense; underside pale ochraceous-yellow, more brightly so in males; femora brownish-rusty-brown above, paler below, with lower area orange-yellow; hind tibiae brownish, with inner face darker.</paragraph>

-Color pattern and morphology seem to vary with habitat terrain, as follows: Chyulu hills with forest on old lava, savanna/woodland mosaic (very rugose and exceptionally dark, frontal ridge broad, sulcate, foveolae narrow, crescentic, antennae rather long and dilated at base); Ol Donyo Sapuk, near mountain summit, cleared bush (frontal ridge deeply sulcate, foveolae large, strong); Nakuru Rd. relict forest (strongly rugose and pitted; frontal ridge moderately sulcate, with wavy margins, foveolae weak, coloration brown-stramineous to blackish-brown); 49 km. NW Nairobi, hillside, forest path (occiput, disc of pronotum and anal area of tegmina with greenish pigmentation); Naro Moru (more robust, distinct temporal foveolae and straighter pronotal carinae; brighter coloration; larger (male 13-14 mm) and generally paler, more brightly colored specimens; frontal ridge less sulcate); Ki
