caudal femora armed with six large spines. Other femoral margins 

 unarmed. 



General coloration buffy brown. Head ochraceous-buff paling 

 to warm buff on face, occiput with large, vague, asymmetrical 

 suffusions of saccardos umber. Cephalic face of vertex, internal 

 surface of first antennal joint, antennal scrobes, margins of frontal 

 fastigium, clypeal, mandibular and labral sutures and mandibles 

 blackish brown, labrum tawny. Antennae ochraceous-buff, each 

 joint heavily suffused with blackish brown proximad, uniform 

 ochraceous tawny distad. Pronotum with disk clear antimony 

 yellow, with cephalic margin very narrowly blackish brown; lateral 

 lobes antimony yellow, with patches of prouts brown dorsad, the 

 free margin heavily blackish brown to numeral sinus. Tegmina 

 buckthorn brown, the very numerous veinlets slightly paler and 

 yellow ocher in proximal portion of marginal field, distad numerous 

 minute scattered areolae between the veinlets are blackish brown. 

 Limbs buckthorn brown tinged with tawny. Ovipositor och- 

 raceous-buff with dorsal margin and suture between valves tawny. 



Length of body 33, length of fastigium of vertex 1.3, width of 

 head 8.3, length of pronotum 9.7, caudal width of pronotal disk 5.3, 

 length of tegmen 29.7, width of tegmen 6.3, length of cephalic 

 femur 8.2, length of caudal femur 14.7, length of ovipositor 14, 

 least proximal width of ovipositor 2.1, median width of ovipositor 

 2.7 mm. 



The type is unique. 



Salomona nigripes new species. Plate XVIII, figure 12. 



This very large species is distinguished by the immaculate face, 

 which is smooth in a large triangular median area, containing 

 eight symmetrically arranged impressed punctae, the solidly black 

 femora and tibiae, the straight and almost acute fastigium of the 

 vertex, which shows a medio-longitudinal, linear dorsal sulcation 

 and numerous other less striking features. 



In coloration of the femora nearest agreement is with S. laticeps, 

 described from Amboina by Haan. The inner portions of the 

 caudal femora, in that species, are however yellow. 



Type : 9 ; Setekwa River, southwest coast of Dutch New Guinea, 



opposite Aru Islands. (From A. S. Meek.) [Hebard Collection, 



Type no. 840.] 



Size very large, form robust. Vertex produced in a straight, 

 rather short, nearly acute fastigium, with very sharply rounded 

 apex showing a very weak deflection, the dorsal surface showing a 

 very fine, linear, medio-longitudinal sulcation. Face with a median, 

 triangular, smooth area with two small impressed punctae below 

 the inner margins of the antennal scrobes, two similar but larger 

 punctae mesad between these and two very small ones above the 

 clypeal suture, with a heavier impressed puncta on each side above
