This specimen agrees closely with the very inadequate description 

 given by Brunner and with his figure, except that in the latter the 

 auditory foramen is shown as fully conchate and the spines of the 

 ventral margin of the caudal femora are heavier. These differences 

 may be due to inaccuracies in drawing, as Kirby has alread} r 

 assigned the species to the genus Paradiaphlebus, 43 a genus erected 

 by Bolivar 44 to include those species previously assigned to Diaph- 

 lebus, in which the auditory foramina are apert. . 



In the present specimen the general coloration is light green, the 

 pronotal dorsum, apices of the femora and distal half of the ovi- 

 positor suffused with brown. The tegmina have the veinlets of 

 the sfcridulating field heavy and buffy, beyond along the costal 

 margin more delicate, but of the same color. The intervals between 

 these veinlets are brown toward the anal vein, but blackish toward 

 the sutural margin to the apices of the tegmina, this invading the 

 veins at the apex of the stridulating field and there forming a large, 

 longitudinal blackish suffusion. The ovipositor is nearly straight, 

 curving very weakly dorsad. The subgenital plate is scoop-shaped, 

 with lateral margins concave-convergent to apex, which is shallowly 

 concave-emarginate, with a very small rounded projection at each 

 side. The cephalic tibiae have the auditory foramina apert, but 

 with ventral margin distinctly lamellate, particularly proximad. 

 The ventral femoral margins are armed with the following spines. 

 Cephalic internal 5 and 5, cephalic external 0, median internal 0, 

 median external 6 and 6, caudal internal 7 and 7, caudal external 

 12 and 12. 



Length of body 40, length of pronotum 6.8, caudal width of pro- 

 notum 5.8, depth of pronotal lateral lobe 4.7, width of pronotal 

 lateral lobe 4.8, length of tegmen 37, median width of tegmen 10, 

 distal width of tegmen 7, length of cephalic femur 13.9, length of 

 caudal femur 32.8, length of ovispositor (estimated, apex broken 

 off) over 30 mm. 



Section SEGESTINI 



We are obliged to change the name of this section, previously 

 known as the Moristini. This is due to the fact that Moristus Stal 

 falls as a synonym of Sexava Walker, as has been indicated by 

 Kirby.
