 Nat. Sc, VI., 242-243, pi. 4, fig. 17a (1S97). 



Brown, rarely green, with the usual markings of the genus, the broad 

 occipital dusky stripe generally darker at the margins, the fuscous 

 postocular stripe cut on the metazona by the luteous lateral carinse. 

 Head of moderate size, the face considerably oblique, the fastigium 

 advanced beyond the eyes in the male by half or nearly half the length of 

 the eyes as seen from above, acutangulate in the male, rectangulate in the 

 female, in both much depressed behind the strongly raised margins ; 

 frontal costa narrow, sulcate, enlarging below the ocellus, sparsely 

 punctate ; lateral foveol* obsolete ; eyes normal ; antenna? slightly ( $ ) 

 or much ( ? ) shorter than head and pronotum together, castaneous, 

 apically infuscated, the post-basal joints depressed but not broadened. 

 Pronotum not very long, the hind margin obtusely angulate, the prozona 

 faintly longer than the metazona, the lateral carinse divergent both in 

 front and behind, and the narrowest part of the disk thus limited not 

 more than three-fourths as wide as the posterior portion. Tegmina 

 generally surpassed a little by the hind femora, the median area usually 

 maculate, the discoidal area of the basal half narrowed distally in the 

 female, and occupied by only a single series of cells, the anterior ulnar 

 vein of male distally much nearer the radial than the lower ulnar vein, 

 the ulnar area occupied by a single series of cells. Hind femora con- 

 siderably surpassing the abdomen, the hind tibiae dull luteous, with a 

 very obscure pallid postgenicular annulus.
