7. Cyrtoxiphus pictus, sp. n. 



c?. Minutus, pallide testaceus. Caput minutum, nihilominus tamen quam collum latius, flavo-testaceum ; 

 oculis valde prominulis ; vertice et fronte fasciis 2 nigris longitudinalibus, antice in rostro confusis ; 

 clypeo nigro-picturato ; ore obscuro ; palpis gracilibus articulis 3°, 4° flavidis, reliquis nigris. Antennae 

 flavidae, apice obscurescente, articulis l°-3° nigris. Pronotum rufum, antice attenuatum; ejus lobi laterales 

 retrorsum obliqui, margine antico arcuato, obliquo (Mel. Ortbopt. 6 e fasc. figg. xi., viii., 2 a). Elytra 

 pallide testacea, mediocriter lata, parallela, abdominis longitudine, margine apicali fusco-maculosa ; campo 

 laterali venis 4 ; prima a v. humerali paulum divergente (3 a brevi, arcuata). Alae longissime caudatae. 

 Pedes antici et intermedii nigri ; tibiis anticis gracilibus, vix dilatatis. Pedes postici elongatiusculi ; 

 femoribus extus in longitudinem nigro-bifasciatis (fasciis apice confusis), margine infero tenuiter nigro- 

 limbato (basi excepta), genubus nigris ; tibiis brunneis, spinis pallidioribus ; tarsis brunneis, metatarso 

 (apice excepto) testaceo. Abdomen nigrum. 



<$ . Long. corp. 6, cum alis 10 ; pronot. 1 ; femor. post. 4-7 millim.

Resembles C. angusticollis, Sauss., in form, but more slender and much smaller. In 

 my synopsis of the genus (Mel. Orthopt. 6 e fasc. p. 612) it would find its place in the 

 section : a, b, cc, d, but with the mediastinal vein but little divergent from the 

 v. humeralis.

Sordide testaceus, vel leviter fuscescens, vel fusco-testaceus. Antennae irregulariter fusco-annulatae vel 

 unicolores. Oculi prominuli. Pronotum fusco-setosum. 



$ . Pronotum trapezinum, antice parum coarctatum ; margine posteriore obtusangulo ; canthis lateralibus 

 parum rotundatis, subaeutis, luteis. Elytra elongata, campo dorsaii inter venas venis spuriis instructo 

 ac transverse reticulato, cantbo paliidiore, vena bumerali canthum efficientc, fusca, subsigmoidali. 

 Campus lateralis venis 4, tertia completa, quarta brevi cum tertia eonfluente (variabilis) ; area? supera et 

 secunda plus minus quadrato-reticulatae. Alae longe caudatae. Pedes brunneo-annulati. Tibiae anticae 

 basin versus vix dilatatae. Femora postica ante apieem annulo fusco. Metatarsus posticus articulis 2 

 sequentibus tarsi sesquilongior. Ovipositor gracilis, longiusculus, dimidia parte apicali incrassata ; 

 valvis apicalibus quintam partem ejus longitudinis haud superantibus, serrulatis f . 



cJ . Fusco-testaceus. Pronotum transversum, latissimum, anterius valde coarctatum, margine postico recto. 

 Elytra in dorso latissima, corpus utrinque valde superantia; speculo aeque lato ac longo. Campus 



* Extracted from my notes. 



f In tbis species tbe apical valvae do not extend to tbe angle (a) of tbe superior margin. This angle is 

 caused by the dilatation of the apical half of the ovipositor.
