g. Lateral lobes of pronotum as long as deep, their humeral sinus 

 evident but shallow; cercus more robust, less tapering; ovi- 

 positor less than 12 mm. in length, its upper margin with a 

 slight but evident regular curve (Fig. 184, b.) 



256. FIDICINIUM. 



gg. Lateral lobes deeper than long, the humeral sinus very distinct; 

 cercus much longer, more slender, strongly tapering; ovi- 

 positor 15 or more mm. in length, its upper margin straight 

 or nearly so (Fig. 184, c.) 257. MILITARE. 



ff. Ovipositor less than two-thirds the length of hind femora (Fig. 

 184, d) ; speculum of male distinctly longer than wide (Fig. 187, 

 &) ; lower outer carina of hind femora always armed beneath. 

 li. Tooth of cercus diverging on a plane with dorsum of cereal 

 shaft, but slightly recurved toward base of latter (Fig. 183, 

 /) ; apical portion of cereal shaft regularly tapering, quite 

 acute. 258. VOLANTUM. 



JiJi. Tooth of cercus diverging from the lower inner face, more 

 strongly recurved; apical portion of shaft subarcuate, less 

 acute, more strongly depressed when viewed from the side 

 (Fig. 183, g.) 259. BRADLEYI.

Size small; form slender. Usually pale reddish-brown with face, lat- 

 eral lobes of pronotum and all the femora green; the usual dark brown 

 stripe of pronotum bordered outside with a narrow yellowish one. Fas- 

 tigium slender, strongly ascending, its apex but little wider than base with 

 sides feebly rounded. Pronotum of male subsellate, of female with met- 

 azona not upturned; lateral lobes with lower margin feebly sinuate, its 

 hind angle narrowly rounded; humeral sinus distinct but shallow. Teg- 

 mina short, scarcely reaching tips of hind femora, very slightly shorter 

 than wings, male, surpassing the femora 1.5 mm. and exceeded by wings the 

 same distance, female. Cerci as in key and Fig. 183, a, their apical por- 

 tion feebly concave within, the tip obtuse. Ovipositor broad, three-fourths 

 as long as hind femora, but slightly falcate, Fig. 184, e. Length of body,
