lateral lobes broadly passing into disk except caudad where there is a 



slight angle, depth of lobes about one-third the greatest length, 



ventral margin truncate, obliquely truncate caudad. Subgenital 



plate arcuato-trigonal, subcompressed ; ovipositor shorter than the 



caudal femora, slightly thickened proximad, subequal and quite 



slender for the greater portion of its length,' apex not broadened, 



lanceolate, dorsal valves at apex with four rows of punctse which are 



evenly spaced so that these valves when seen from 



certain angles appear to have their margins sub- 



crenulate, ventral valves smooth. Cephalic and 



median limbs slender, femora subcompressed; 



cephalic tibise with a very minute tympanum 



placed more toward the dorsal face of the tibise than 



is usually the case. Caudal tibiae slightly arcuate

length of the dorso-external spur and considerably Fig. 2. — Glaphy-

spurs shorter than the internal. Caudal metatarsus illary palpus, 

 slightly arcuate dorsad, subcompressed, with distal (Greatlymag- 

 spurs small, slender, subequal, reaching to the base 

 of the distal tarsal joint. 



Description of Male. 23 — This sex differs from the female in the 

 following characters. Pronotum much larger, strongly produced 

 caudad as far as the second or third abdominal segment, expanding 

 gradually caudad, caudal margin broadly semicircular. Tegmina 

 large, rounded, not reaching quite as far as the caudal margin of the 

 pronotum, entirely covered by the same. Subgenital plate trapezi- 

 form, convex, punctate, margin sub-bilobate.
