spine latero-caudad on each side. Metasternum with a shorter 

 but decided spine latero-caudad on each side of proximal section 

 and terminating caudad in two bluntly rounded projections of 

 equal length. Ovipositor elongate and slender, unarmed, of the 

 usual Copiphorine type developed in this genus, widening slightly 

 beyond its base, then narrowing as weakly to the moderately 

 acute apex, so that it is widest mesad. Subgenital plate distorted, 

 apparently decidedly produced and strongly concave at apex, 

 fitting tightly about the ventral portion of the ovipositor base. 

 Femoral genicular lobes developed as follows; cephalic internal and 

 median internal strongly acute-angulate produced, cephalic ex- 

 ternal rounded, median external bluntly triangular, caudal internal 

 and external heavily unispinose. Cephalic and median femora 

 thickened, the ventral femoral margins armed with large spines, 

 between which are minute spines, as follows. Cephalic internal 3 

 and 3 large, 8 and 9 small; cephalic external large, 2 and 2 small; 

 median internal 0, median external 4 and 4 large, 9 and 9 small; 

 caudal internal 0; caudal external 5 large, 7 small. 



General coloration clay color; face evenly suffused with tawny; 

 dorsal surface of vertex, occiput, pronotum mesad and tegmina 

 proximad, evenly suffused with mars brown. Antennae ochra- 

 ceous-tawny, proximad with intersections of joints slightly darker, 

 mars brown; distad uniform cinnamon-brown. Tegmina clay color 

 with veinlets paler, with very numerous small flecks of blackish 

 chestnut brown which are more numerous in half toward costal 

 margin. Limbs and ovipositor clear ochraceous tawny; the former 

 with femora briefly shining blackish brown distad, this weak on 

 cephalic femora, strong and sharply defined on the others; the 

 tibiae with a similar but very much more limited and inconspicuous 

 marking proximad and distad, the cephalic tibiae suffused with 

 that color very briefly dorsad at end of auditory foraminal area.

In coloration this specimen agrees fully with the original de- 

 scription, except that the genicular areas of the tibiae are not 

 darkened.
