fourth joint three-quarters as long as third, two-fifths as long as 

 the very elongate fifth joint. Pronotal disk deplanate, lateral 

 margins very weakly concave and diverging moderately caudad, 

 rounding strongly into the nearly vertical lateral lobes; the latter 

 with width distinctly less than depth, margin from humeral sinus 

 to ventro-cephalic angle rounded but showing some flattening 

 ventrad. Tegmina coriaceous, due to the very close network of 

 veinlets, elongate and broad, expanding with decidedly the greatest 

 width distad; median vein branching slightly before its median 

 point and with two more distal branches, the first branch forking 

 near its base, all of these branches following a strongly oblique 

 course. Ovipositor very minute, the genitalia as described on 

 page 168 for Platycaedicia obiensis, except that the basal plica is 

 not as deeply concave, its projection more slender and the subgenital 

 plate has the apical emargination weaker. Ventral femoral margins 

 armed with small teeth as follows; cephalic internal 4 and 4, ce- 

 phal external 0, median internal 0, median external 4 and 5, caudal 

 internal 7 and 8, caudal external 10 and 12. 



General coloration ochraceous-buff, showing a greenish tinge in 

 the discoidal field of the tegmina. Head with vertex showing a 

 mottled suffusion of snuff brown. Antennae snuff brown with 

 numerous irregular minute annuli of ochraceous-buff. Dorsal 

 surface of pronotum solidly snuff brown to slightly beyond lateral 

 margins and thickly but microscopically speckled with bister. 

 Tegmina maculate and spotted with bister as figured, the proximal 

 suffusion deepening to blackish brown in median portion. Distal 

 extremity of cephalic and median femora snuff brown microscop- 

 ically speckled with bister, caudal femora similarly marked with 

 two additional bands of the same in distal portion. Cephalic 

 tibiae triannulate, median femora quinqueannulate with the same. 

 Dorsal surface of caudal tibiae seal brown. 



Length of body 30, length of pronotum 6.1, cephalic width of 

 pronotal disk 3, caudal width of pronotal disk 4.4, width of pronotal 

 lateral lobe 4.7, depth of pronotal lateral lobe 5.2, length of tegmen 

 37, median width of tegmen 11.7, greatest (meso-distal) width of 

 tegmen 14.6, length of cephalic femur 5.7, length of caudal femur 

 20.9, length of ovipositor 1.9 mm. 



The type of this handsome species is unique. 



Paracaedicia serrata Brunner. 



1891. Paracaedicia serrata Brunner, Verh. Zool.-bot. Ges. Wien., XLI, 

 d. 103. [ 9 ; Sekar, New Guinea.] 



Obi Island, Moluccas, 1 9 . 



This specimen agrees very closely with the original description 

 as emended in Bolivar's key (Termes. Fuzetek, XXV, p. 190, 

 (1902).) We find the dorsal surface of the cephalic and median 

 tibiae to be deplanate but weakly sulcate. 



Length of body 32, length of pronotum 8, length of tegmen 49.8 

 greatest (median) width of tegmen 13.6, length of caudal femur 

 27.3, length of ovipositor 2 mm.
