Comment.

The above brachypterous females undoubtedly represent an undescribed species distinguished from the other species known from China by the conspicuously large head and the distinctly impressed sutural portion of the elytra, from most species also by the short and narrow elytra and by the absence of a palisade fringe at the posterior margin of the male tergite VII.
