follows. 73 Cephalic internal 5 and 5(96 and 6), cephalic external 

 3 and 3(94 and 4), median internal 0(92 and 2), median external 

 5 and 5(96 and 6), caudal internal 1(92 and 2), caudal external 

 7 (9 9 and 10). 



Allotype: 9 ; Polillo Island, Luzon, Philippine Islands. (E. H. 

 Taylor.) [Hebard Collection.] 



Agrees closely with the male, differing as follows. Size larger, 

 nearly equal to that of the female of taylori. Caudal margin of 

 pronotal disk slightly more truncate, as in this sex of taylori. 

 Pronotum with convex callosity of lateral lobes as in male, not as 

 decided as in taylori. Ovipositor elongate, slender, tapering evenly 

 from beyond base to the acute apex; weakly curved dorsad, this 

 not as decided as in taylori and strongest meso-distad. Subgenital 

 plate of the same type developed in this sex of taylori, the thickened 

 distal portion heavier and more extensive, the transverse distal 

 margin showing a weak trace of bilobation. 



General coloration of male buckthorn brown tinged with tawny. 

 Occiput, vertex and genae of that color, the occiput with a post- 

 ocular line on each side of dark brown; face heavily suffused, mars 

 brown, with a faint vertical median line of prouts brown; median 

 ocellus buff, clypeus buffy, this deepening on labrum to russet 

 distad, mandibles black. Antennae ochraceous-tawny, with inter- 

 sections of a few joints darkened. Pronotum of general coloration, 

 the disk slightly paler and more tawny, separated from lateral 

 lobes by a broad, irregular band of blackish brown, sharply defined 

 on the dorsal margin, vague on the ventral margin, this band oc- 

 cupying as much a portion of the disk as of the lateral lobes. Teg- 

 mina transparent buckthorn brown, suffused with tawny, this 

 deepening in proximal portion of discoidal field, th^re weakly 

 chestnut brown, flecks of the same toward the humeral trunk proxi- 

 mad in marginal field. Limbs buckthorn brown tinged with tawny, 

 with very numerous, narrow, transverse lines of darker brown of a 

 more tawny shade, distad the caudal femora deepen and become 

 solidly brown, with distal portion conspicuously paler, ochraceous- 

 buff tinged with buckthorn brown, spines deep russet. Abdomen 

 clay color. 



The female is a much darker, intensively colored individual; 

 in general coloration prouts brown tinged with chestnut. The 

 markings are as described above, the distal portion of the caudal 

 femora ochraceous buff in even greater contrast. The ovipositor 

 is dresden brown proximad, in remaining portions shining burnt 

 sienna. 



Length of body c? 29, 9 32.4; length of pronotum c? 8.8, 9 10; 

 caudal width of pronotal disk c? 4.3, 9 5; depth of pronotal lateral 



3 The difference in spine count we believe to be wholly attributable to in- 

 dividual variation. So closely does the pair here described agree in all other 

 features of specific diagnostic value, that we feel fully warranted in designating 

 the female as allotype.
