the dorsal surface concave in distal two-thirds. Pronotum with 

 disk showing weak sulci, caudal margin weakly concave and cin- 

 gulate; lateral lobes elongate, ventral margin horizontal, ventro- 

 cephalic angle more strongly rounded than ventro-caudal, caudal 

 margin strongly oblique ascendant, humeral sinus very weakly 

 indicated. Between the tegmina proximad, a convex scutellum 

 is exposed. Tegmina and wings fully developed, the former narrow 

 and elongate, extending as far caudad as the wings, broadening 

 somewhat caudad with apices rather broadly rounded. Prester- 

 num bispinose, mesosternum binodulose, me'tasternum weakly bino- 

 dulose. Cerci simple, slender, curved. Ovipositor moderately 

 falcate, the dorsal and ventral margins distad very finely serrulate 

 to the acute apex. Subgenital plate very small, with a narrow- 

 necked, small, oval production at apex. Cephalic coxae unarmed. 

 Median trochanters with a small ventral spine. Femoral genicular 

 lobes strongly unispinose. Cephalic femora with four internal and 

 six external, very elongate and slender, ventral spines. Median 

 femora with two very small proximo-internal and four elongate 

 external ventral spines. Caudal femora with eleven and thirteen 

 small ventro-external spines. Cephalic tibiae with auditory fora- 

 mina inflated conchate, the oval openings ventro-cephalad; armed 

 ventrad with eight pairs of very elongate, slender spines (on one 

 tibia with a single sub-distal additional ventro-internal spine), 

 which decrease in length distad, and a pair of minute apical spines. 

 Median tibiae armed ventrad with seven external and six internal, 

 somewhat less elongate spines and a pair of minute apical spines. 

 Caudal tibiae with numerous very small dorsal and less numerous 

 larger ventral spines and three pairs of distal spurs. 



General coloration immaculate buffy, probably a very pale 

 green in life. Flecks of green occur on this dried specimen on the 

 occiput, dorsum of the pronotum, scutellum and sides of the 

 thorax. Ovipositor ochraceous-buff, tinged with tawny distad. 



Length of body 13, length or pronotum 3.2, greatest width of 

 pronotum 2.3, length of pronotal lateral lobe 3, depth of pronotal 

 lateral lobe 1.7, length of tegmen 25.3, proximal width of tegmen 

 2.2, greatest (meso-distal) width of tegmen 2.7, length of longest 

 cephalic tibial spine 1.9, length of cephalic femur 8.9, length of 

 caudal femur 14.8, length of ovipositor 9.8 mm. 



The type is unique.

We assign the present specimen to philippinarum, as it agrees 

 in every detail of limb armament as well as in many other features 

 given in Karny's description. The proportions are, however, so 

 different that it may represent a distinct species. Males probably 

 will be needed to determine this.
