lamellar brush on internal margin thick, external margin with but 

 a few hairs; external margin with six to seven spines, internal margin 

 with nine spines: caudal tarsi with proximal joint strongly depressed. 



Allotype: 9 ; same data as type. 



Differing from the description of the male in the following features. 

 Frontal costa sulcate for but a short distance ventrad of the ocellus, 

 plane thence ventrad : eyes elevated but slightly dorsad of the vertex, 

 in depth about one and one-half times that of the infra-ocular portion 

 of the gense: antennse hardly twice as long as the pronotum alone, 

 Pronotum not as sellate as in the male, the dorsal line not at all 

 concave when seen from the side, greatest dorsal (caudal) width 

 of disk contained about one and one-third times in the greatest 

 dorsal length of the same : prozona about one and one-third times 

 as long as the metazona: lateral lobes of the pronotum with their 

 greatest dorsal length very faintly longer than their greatest depth. 

 Interspace between mesosternal lobes faintly broader than in the 

 male, that between metasternal lobes cuneate and at narrowest 

 point about two-fifths the width of the mesosternal interspace. 

 Ovipositor jaws elongate, slender, compressed, margins irregularly 

 denticulate. Median femora of normal type, as usual in females 

 of this genus. 



General color of intensive individuals very dark olive on the 

 dorsal and lateral aspects, ventral surface and abdomen olive- 

 ' yellow to yellowish olive, mottled in both cases with bottle green, 

 metazona of the dorsum of the pronotum washed with ivy green. 

 The usual four lines on the head, pronotum and pleura relatively 

 narrow, the dorsal pair quite narrow, in color these lines are olive- 

 ocher to olive-yellow, paling to cream-buff or primrose yellow where 

 the ventral pairs are connected on the face; pleural spots three in 

 number. Eyes mars brown to prout's brown; antennse of the 

 general color, in proximal half weakly subannulate with dull 

 ochraceous, tips briefly cream color. Tegmina with the anal vein 

 lined with the continuation of the dorsal pair of pale lines; anal 

 area sometimes weakly washed with bottle green. Wings with the 

 disk china blue, apex and distal half of periphery clouded with 

 fuscous. Cephalic and median limbs of the ventral color, the 

 mottling of bottle green quite marked, the tibiae subannulate with 

 fuscous; proximal portion of the femora washed with nopal red. 

 Caudal femora with the external, dorsal and internal faces of the 

 general dorsal color, triannulate with aniline yellow, the proximal 

 annulus incomplete, the median one V-shaped on the lateral face,
