From the female sex of H. javanica Brunner it differs in all the 

 features given here under fusco-spinosa to distinguish females of 

 that species. 



Type: 9 ; Surigao, Mindanao, Philippine Islands. (From C. F. 

 Baker.) [Hebard Collection, Type no. 701.] 



Size very large, form robust. Tegmina tapering very gradually 

 distad to meso-distal point, thence tapering strongly to the rather 

 broadly rounded apex. Ovipositor as characteristic of the genus; 

 proximal plica of dorsal valves acute dorsad but rounded ventrad, 

 distance from base of ovipositor to end of plica slightly less than 

 half that to apex of ovipositor. Subgenital plate elongate, medio- 

 longitudinally carinate, lateral margins concave convergent to 

 apex, which is V-emarginate a distance equal to the width of one 

 of the two lateral, rounded apices thus formed. This emargination 

 is distinctly larger than in fusco-spinosa. 



General coloration yellowish, probably green in life. Head with 

 a subobsolete postocular fleck of brown, which is continued very 

 briefly on the lateral margin of the pronotal disk at the cephalic 

 margin as a short linear suffusion. Tegmina with (six and seven) 

 dark brown spots in proximal two -thirds of discoidal field near 

 median vein and with much weaker but similar spots near ulnar 

 vein toward the sutural margin and in areas between the ulnar and 

 branches of the median vein. 31 Limbs immaculate, except that 

 the last joint of the caudal tarsi is dark brown to near its base; 

 spines darkened only at their very tips. Abdomen with a large 

 blackish blotch laterad on penultimate tergite. Ovipositor with 

 dorsal portion of plica darkened, ovipositor valves embrowned 

 except mesad toward base, becoming very dark distad. 



Length of body 33.5, length of pronotum 9, caudal width of 

 pronotal disk 6.7, length of tegmen 63.9, greatest width of tegmen 

 17.8, meso-distal width of tegmen 15.8, length of cephalic femur 

 8.3, length of caudal femur 35.3, length of ovipositor 11 mm. 



The type is unique.

The immaculate tegmina, and subgenital plate of the female which 

 is cleft in its distal two-fifths, quickly distinguish this insect from 

 H. fuscospinosa Brunner and H . maxima here described. 



Length of body 32, length of pronotum 8.2, length of tegmen 

 54.5, greatest width of tegmen 15.2, meso-caudal width of tegmen 

 13.8, length of cephalic femur 7.3, length of caudal femur 27.8, 

 length of ovipositor 9.2 mm. 



31 Similar but much weaker tegminal spots are indicated in two specimens of 

 fusco-spinosa before us.
