Front of the head dark brownish-yello^v, spotted with fuscous; median 

 carina on the summit of the head and approximate lateral carinas slight, but 

 distinct, testaceous ; between the two, brownish-fuscous ; a broad, blackish- 

 fuscous streak from the upper edge of the eye backward, bounded above by a 

 black line lying next the lateral carinse; another broad, dull, blackish-fuscous 

 stripe running backward from the lower edge of the eye. Antennae testaceous, 

 fuscous at the base, blackish-fuscous at the tip ; the terminal eight or nine 

 joints depressed, forming an elongated club. Median carina of the prono- 

 tum slight, testaceous ; lateral carinas rather prominent, yellow, bordered 

 on each side, but especially anteriorly, with black ; top of the pronotum 

 brownish-fuscous, deepening in tint toward the lateral carinas ; sides of the 

 pronotum brownish-yellow, clouded with fuscous. Elytra testaceous, diaph- 

 anous toward the apex ; wings pellucid, slightly clouded along the costal 

 border. Hind legs brownish-testaceous ; the superior carina of the femora 

 interrupted with black; spines of the hind tibiae tipped with black. 



Dimensions. — $ Length, 0.68 inch ; antennae, 0.25 incli ; elytra, 0.5 

 incli ; hind femora, 0.4 inch.

Section II. — Face vertical or nearly so, in some geneia being some- 

 what curved under at the lower part. The sides of the head generally more 

 or less convex. The sides of the pronotum sometimes compressed, but 

 usually more or less constricted, and transversely ridged, waved, or rugose ; 

 disk seldom regularly flat, as in the previous section ; median carina more 

 or less prominent, and generally interrupted or uneven ; lateral carina3 absent, 

 interrupted, irregular, or slightly prominent, but seldom right-angled, as 

 in the greater number of the genera in the previous section. 



The remaining genera of CEdipodini belong to this section; yet Boujiedon 



and Brachypeplus vary so far from the type that it is doubtful whetlier they 



should be admitted here; the latter genus, and also CE. phoRnicoptera, CE. atrox, 



and CE. pcUudda approach the previous section in the form of the pronotum.
