twice the length of the median femora, considerably robust in the^

 points are those of difference from the male. Size rather large. 

 Eyes slightly more elliptical than in the male; proximal antennal 

 joints slightl}" deplanate. Pronotum with the lateral margins of 

 disk marked nowhere by angles and only indicated by color, shape 

 of color margins as in male, but median width slightly more than 

 half the caudal width of the disk; lateral lobes with greatest depth 

 contained less than twice in the greatest length of same. Tegmina 

 distinctly laterad, separated by more than their own width, in form 

 semi-ovate, not reaching to caudal margin of the metanotum, humeral 

 trunk indicated. Disto-dorsal abdominal segment subtruncate; 

 supra-anal plate slightly broader than long, rounded subtrigonal. 

 Ovipositor elongate, more than twice the length of the pronotal disk^ 

 moderately robust, dorsal margin moderately arcuate, slightly 

 flattened mesad, ventral margin straight except for a short antl 

 decided arcuation distad, dorsal margin armed on distal fifth with 

 six spines, ventral margin armed on same section with six to eight 

 spines, the extreme ones of latter series slightly recurved; subgenital 

 plate with chitinous portion divided in two, these present as lateral 

 subpyriform lobes with very acute apices. Cephalic femora slightly 

 and median femora decidedly exceeding the combined length of head^ 

 pronotum, and tegmina. Caudal femora slightly less than twice the 

 length of median femora.
