[...] It clearly differs from F. nulculata in having the cephalic process subpelluvid sordid fulvous-testaceous or tawny instead of opaque deep green ; the markings on the togmina follow the arrangement of the markings on the tegmina in P. maculata but are sordid whitish instead of bluish-white and the wings are sordid greenish-whito frayed with black fuscous nearly up to the base the apex being bro [...] It somwhat resembles the former in the pattern of the tegmina but differs in the length of the cephalic process which iu F. delesscrtil is but about half the length of the body. [...] In length and structure of the cephalic process it is more closely allied to F. maculata ; the cephalic process however is longer than in that species being about equal to the length of the body ; and besides the different pattern of the tegmina the wings are much more narrowly black along the posterior margin. [...] The four anterior legs have a black ring at the base of the tibiae the apex of which and the tarsi arc also black the underside of the body and the hind legs are entirely fulvous with two small black spots at the base of the come and two long black spots at the sides of the penultimate abdominal segment.
