SAGINAE 



Terpandrus splendidus new species. Plate XXI, figure 6. 



From T. horridus (Burmeister) the present insect is quickly 

 distinguished by its large size, much more elongate form and 

 paler, striped coloration. In consequence, splendidus has a very 

 distinctive general facies. 



Type: 9 ; Yerilla, North Coolgardie Goldfield, Central Division, 

 West Australia. March, 1899. (C. Humphrey.) [Hebard Col- 

 lection, Type no. 844.] 



Size large, form elongate. Vertex with fastigium narrow, curving 

 ventrad and not projecting beyond plane of face; dorsal surface 

 longitudinally sulcate, cephalic surface narrow and convex, sep- 

 arated a brief distance from frontal fastigium. Eyes round, pro- 

 jecting, bead-like. Pronotum feebly sellate, transverse sulci weak, 

 caudal portion of metazona slightly elevated, flattened, its surface 

 wrinkeled like other portions of disk but not as shining, due to its 

 being microscopically rugulose as well; lateral lobes longer than 

 deep, ventral margin very broadly convex, humeral sinus broadly 

 concave. Tegmina and wings fully developed, extending to apex 

 of the very long ovipositor, the former narrow. Cerci cultriform, 

 due to a moderate lammellation of the internal margin, weakly 

 incurved. Ovipositor slender, straight and very elongate, showing 

 distad a slight curvature ventrad, the dorsal margin showing a 

 weak, roughened channel toward the acute apex. Subgenital 

 plate scoop-shaped, the disto -lateral margins convergent and weakly 

 concave to the weakly produced, bluntly angulate apex. Spines 

 of prosternum, mesosternum and metasternum heavy. Genicular 

 lobes of cephalic and median femora bispinose, of caudal femora 

 unispinose. Cephalic femora with ventral margins moderately 

 lamellate, caudal femora slender, showing slight thickening prox- 

 imad. Ventral femoral margins armed with spines, of which 

 those of the cephalic femora are heavy and sublamellate, those of 

 the caudal femora less so, as follows. Cephalic internal 5 and 6, 

 cephalic external 9 and 9 (of which 1 and 2 proximal are very small), 

 median internal 8 and 8, median external 5 and 6, caudal internal 7
