 (Hebard.) [Hebard Collection.] 



Size rather small; body subfusiform, glabrous. Fastigium strongly 

 declivent, Ioav; eyes not at all prominent; antennse in an imperfect 

 condition reaching to the apices of the caudal femora, rather heavy. 

 Pronotum with the cephalic and caudal margins truncate, ventral 

 margin of the lateral lobes flattened arcuate. Mesonotum and 

 metanotum with their caudal margins subarcuate. Abdomen with 

 the segments glabrous; cerci shorter than the pronotum, robust at 

 the base and decidedly tapering to the acute apex. Cephalic femora 

 about a tenth longer than the pronotum, armed on the ventro- 

 cephalic margin with three spines placed on the distal half, the distal 

 spine quite long and equalling the cephalic tibial spines in length, 

 the others diminishing in length, ventro-caudal margin unarmed. 

 Median femora subequal to the cephalic femora in length, slightly 

 less robust, armed on the ventro-cephalic margin with four spines 

 proportioned as on the cephalic femora, ventro-caudal margin armed 

 with three subequal spines, caudal genicular lobe bearing a long 

 spine. Caudal femora longer than the body, moderately robust, 

 the greatest width contained three times in the length, dorsal surface 

 with the dark areas of the pattern bearing numerous depressed 

 points, a group of more decided spiniform points present dorsad on 

 the internal face, ventro-external margin of the caudal femora with 

 weak recumbent serrulato-spinulations, ventro-internal margin distad 

 with seven distinct but recumbent serrato-spinulations; caudal 

 tibige less than a twelfth longer than the caudal femora, straight, 

 spurs subopposite distad, subalternating proximad, about one and 

 one-half times as long as the tibial depth, slightly hooked at the tips, 

 inner middle spur appreciably longer than the outer middle spur 

 and subequal to the metatarsus in length, dorsal spurs of both 

 faces slightly longer than the ventral ones, ventral surface of tibiae 

 distad with a single spine in addition to the apical pair; caudal tarsi 

 with the third joint about half the length of the second, together 

 very slightly shorter than the fourth. 



Dorsal surface solidly brownish-black, passing into cinnamon-buff 

 on the ventral surface, the pale coloration on the femora antique 

 brown (Ridgway, Plate III), the head, pronotum, and dorsum of 

 a})domen with a distinct continuous medio-longitudinal line of ferru- 

 ginous. Face and palpi of the ventral color, the facial fastigium, 

 a spot under each eye and a touch on the genae of the dorsal color, 

 the third palpal joint lightly and the fourth heavily marked with
