Subgenital plate short, median portion moderately concave, round- 

 ing into the vertical lateral portions, disto-lateral angles rounded, 

 with caudal margin between broadly obtuse-angulate emarginate. 

 Ventral femoral margins armed with spines as follows. Cephalic 

 internal 4 to 6, cephalic external 3 to 5, median internal 2 to 3, 

 median external 4 to 5, caudal internal 0, caudal external 7 to 8. 



Shining clay color. Head cinnamon buff, in the paratype with 

 a greenish tinge. Face and cephalic portions of genae, except in 

 subocular area, blackish chestnut brown; below subocular area 

 broadly margined with hazel, with subocular area itself of the 

 general pale coloration; clypeus, labrum and mandibles blackish 

 brown; cephalic surface of vertex and proximal antennal joints 

 washed with brown, remaining portions of antennae ochraceous 

 tawny. Eyes isabella color. Pronotum and limbs immaculate 

 clay color, in the paratype with a greenish tinge. Tegmina im- 

 maculate, the principal veins of the pronotal coloration, the in- 

 tervals between these slightly darker, but the veinlets themselves 

 noticeably paler, cinnamon buff. Palpi and abdomen clay color, 

 the latter apparently suffused with brown disto-ventrad (discolored 

 ?) . Ovipositor rich chestnut, slightly darker distad and buffy in 

 enlarged proximal portion. 



The measurements of the type are given first. Length of body 

 35 and 36, width of head 9 and 10, length of pronotum 9.7 and 

 10.1, caudal width of pronotal disk 5.8 and 5.9, length of tegmen 

 30 and 31.7, median width of tegmen 7.7 and 8.3, length of cephalic 

 femur 10.7 and 11.7, length of caudal femur 17.2 and 18.7, length 

 of ovipositor 17 and 19, greatest width of ovipositor 2.6 and 2.7 mm. 



In addition to the type, a single paratypic female, taken on the 

 Island of Guam, by D. T. Fulloway and belonging to the United 

 States National Museum, is before us. 



Salomona lita new species. Plate XVIII, figure 13. 



This plainly colored and diminutive species has the caudal 

 femora armed as in S. ornata Brunner and its allies. The pale 

 green fastigium of the vertex appears to afford an inconspicuous 

 but valuable color character. 



Though running close to S. dohrni Redtenbacher ( = S. vittifrons 

 (Walker)) in the keys, the present insect differs widely from that 

 species in numerous features. 



Type: cf ; Obi Island, Moluccas. [Hebard Collection, Type no. 

 842.] 



Size small, form slender for this genus of large and very robust 

 species. Head comparatively narrow, much as in ornata, but with 

 face and genae heavily impresso-punctulate and occiput weakly 

 ruguloss; vertex very slenderly lamellate produced, straight, 

 (neither ascendant or decurved, sulcate or nodulose), with apex 

 in lateral aspect rounded. Pronotum much as in ornata, but with
