and 8, caudal external 1 (very small) and 0. Auditory foramina of 

 cephalic tibiae rimate. Cephalic and median tibiae armed with 

 seven pairs of rather heavy spines. 



Head and pronotum honey yellow, with a broad post-ocular 

 band of whitish on each side, which is continued to the caudal 

 margin of the pronotum and is there, in metazonal portion, bordered 

 with a suffusion of cinnamon brown, broad on the disk and narrow 

 on the lateral lobes. Lateral lobes of pronotum broadly margined 

 ventrad with whitish. Tegmina transparent pale dull green 

 yellow, like ground glass; stridulating field with a heavy border of 

 warm buff, margined with a suffusion of cinnamon brown, the 

 latter continued along the sutural margin to apex; interval between 

 discoidal and median veins embrowned distad. Body apparently 

 light buff in life, abdomen discolored in specimen under ponsider- 

 ation. Ovipositor ochraceous-buff, tinged with tawny except 

 proximad, much darker near apex, with dorsal channel blackish. 

 Limbs light buff, dorsal surface of caudal femora with a longi- 

 tudinal band of blackish chestnut brown, which becomes weak 

 distad; spines blackish; caudal tibiae with lateral faces vinaceous~ 

 russet. 



Length of body 47, length of pronotum 13.2, caudal width of 

 pronotal disk 7.7, median length of pronotal lateral lobe 8.7, 

 median depth of pronotal lateral lobe 5.9, length of tegmen 83.3, 

 median width of tegmen 10, length of cephalic femur 18.3, length 

 of caudal femur 44.5, greatest width of caudal femur 3.4, length of 

 ovipositor 54, median width of ovispositor 1.8 mm. 



The type of this handsome insect is unique. 



PACHYSAGELLA new genus 



The very stout build, short tegmina and limbs and weakly armed 

 limbs readily distinguish this genus from the previously known 

 valid genera of the Saginae." 



Genotype. — Pachysagella maculata new species. 



Size medium, form very robust. Head large and broad, nearly 

 circular in cephalic aspect; fastigium of vertex very small, pro- 

 jecting, apex bituberculate. Antennae very slender, shorter than 

 body. Eyes prominent, but not projecting as much as in Ter- 

 pandrus. Pronotum with disk nearly rectangular, surface weakly 

 convex, the principal sulcus defined by a broad weak impression 

 only in the male sex, cephalic margin broadly convex, lateral 

 margins straight and almost parallel, caudal margin showing very 

 feeble concavity, transverss; lateral lobes much longer than deep, 



99 Brunner has described Pachysaga, a genus without species (Ann. Mus. 

 Genova, XXXIII, p. 183, (1893).) Study of the material upon which that 

 name was based may show it to be closely related to, possibly the same as, the 

 species here described. From the locality, Lord Howe's Island (and Java ?), 

 it would appear probable that that insect is a member of a distinct though closely 

 related genus.
