caudacl in proximal half, there curving strongly up so that the distal 

 portion is directed dorsad and weakly curved, that portion flattened 

 with a percurrent knife-edge dorsad, which terminates in a minute, 

 straight, aciculate spine at the apex. Subgenital plate tapering 

 strongly proximad, then produced in a long narrow shaft with 

 lateral margins parallel, weakly diverging distad with apex tri- 

 angularly emarginate, the lateral portions produced beyond, 

 straight and very slender, bearing at their apices extremely long, 

 very slender, nearly straight, weakly sigmoid styles. Ventral 

 femoral margins armed with the following number of spines. 

 Cephalic internal 6 and 6, cephalic external 0, median internal 0, 

 median external 5 and 6, caudal internal 5 and 6, caudal external 

 5 and 5. 



General coloration yellowish green, probably rich green in life, 

 Antennae with distal joints brown, their intersections yellowish. 



Length of body 24.3, length of pronotum 6, caudal width of 

 pronotum 3.7, depth of pronotal lateral lobe 4.2, width of pro- 

 notal lateral lobe 4.3, length of tegmen 36.4, greatest width of 

 tegmen 9, length of cephalic femur 7, length of caudal femur 24.7. 

 length of cercus 4 mm. 



The type of this remarkable species is unique.

This specimen agrees closely with Brunner's description of the 

 male sex. Length of body 19, length of pronotum 5.8, length of 

 tegmen 33, greatest width of tegmen 6.8, length of caudal femur 

 24 mm.

Related to H. japonica Brunner 30 (see Plate XIII, figure 19), 

 the present insect differs in having proportionately longer limbs 

 with femoral spines more decidedly darkened. The male sex is 

 further distinguished by the shorter and much more deeply cleft 

 anal segment, the two portions of which are not produced and 

 lamellate laterad and thus do not conceal the cerci, and by the 

 much longer and much more deeply cleft subgenital plate, with 

 distal portions moderately expanded and supplied with longer 

 styles. 



In the females the genitalia are the same, except that in min- 

 danao the dorsal portion of the ovipositor plica is almost black, 

 like the distal portion of the ovipositor. 



\ large series of that species is before us, from Hawaii, Japan and China
