and caudal margins of disk subtruneate; lateral lobes of the pronotum 

 with the ventral margin sinuato-emarginate dorsad of the coxae. 

 Tegmina more dorsal than in oreoeca, semi-ovate, separated by an 

 interval less than half the width of a single tegmen. Disto-dorsal 

 abdominal segment with the distal margin subtruneate; supra-anal 

 plate transverse, rounded; ovipositor slightly less than twice the 

 length of the pronotal disk, moderately robust, margins as in oreoeca, 

 the extremity of the dorsal margin with six, that of the ventral margin 

 with seven spines; subgenital plate with the chitin divided in two, 

 the lateral sections elongate, sublanceolate, the immediate apex 

 blunted. Cephalic femora about twice the length of the disk of the 

 pronotum. Median femora slightly longer than the cephalic femora. 

 Paratypic Series. — We have before us two paratypes, one an 

 imperfect adult male, the other an immature male, both taken at 

 Brownsville, July 31-August 5.

Color Notes. — As but the type and allotype of catinata have fully 

 retained their original coloration, the following notes are based en- 

 tireh' on them. 



Male (Type). General pattern consisting of a dorsal color, a 

 latero-ventral color and a pale pattern, the first covering the occiput, 

 the dorsum of the pronotum, humeral trunk, discoidal and greater 

 portion of anal fields of the tegmina and greater portion of the dorsum 

 of the abdomen. The tone of this color is between burnt sienna and 

 ■chestnut, that of the latero-ventral color cosse green, while the pale 

 pattern runs from creamy on the head to white on the tegmina and
