86 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Mar., '04 



longer than the metazona, the latter strongly punctate on the lateral 

 lobes ; median carina obsolete on the prozona, distinct but low on the 

 metazona ; lateral lobes with the lower margin very obtusely angulate ; 

 transverse sulci very distinct ; dorsal aspect passing into the lateral lobes 

 without carinae, but with a distinct shoulder. Tegmina rather narrow, 

 subequal, slightly surpassing the apex of the abdomen, apex rounded. 

 Prosternal spine erect, conical, the apex slightly antrorse. Interval 

 between the mesosternal lobes sub-quadrate, expanding ; interval be- 

 tween the metasternal lobes longitudinal, about four times as long as 

 broad. Supra-anal plate with distinct median and lateral sulci ; furcula 

 extremely short and strongly divergent ; cerci short, with a distinct me- 

 dian constriction, apical portion with the lateral face excavated and 

 deflected internally, apical margin sub-rotundate with a slight inferior 

 shoulder ; stibgenital plate moderately compressed, the lateral margins 

 very slightly arcuate, the apex posterior to the margin of the plate and 

 developed as a distinct tubercle. Anterior and median femora tumid, the 

 anterior distinctly curved ; posterior femora rather slender, but with the 

 genicular regions rather broad. 



9 Size rather large ; form rather heavy and robust. Head with the 

 occiput distinctly elevated above the pronotum, rounded ; vertex and fas- 

 tigium rather broad, very shallowly sulcate ; frontal costa rather broad, 

 subequal in width, reaching to the clypeus, slightly sulcate at and below 

 the ocellus ; eyes sub reniform, the anterior margin almost straight, but 

 little shorter than the infra-ocular portion of the genae ; antennae about 

 equal to the head and pronotum in length. Pronotum much as in the 

 male, but the whole structure is more inflated, and the metazona is very 

 slightly shorter than the prozona. Tegmina reaching to, but not ex- 

 ceeding, the valves of the ovipositor. Prosternal spine erect, short, blunt, 

 slightly compressed transversely. Interval between the mesosternal 

 lobes quadrate, slightly longitudinal ; interval between the metasternal 

 lobes longitudinal, expanded anteriorly and laterally confined by the 

 curved metasternal lobes. Anterior and median femora not inflated as 

 in the male, rather slender, slightly arcuate ; posterior femora a little 

 more robust than the same parts in the male. 



General color above bistre, below gamboge yellow. Head mottled 

 bistre and wood brown, the distinct, rather narrow, post-ocular streak 

 shining black ; occiput with a dark median area margined laterally by 

 obscure bars of a lighter tint ; antennae dull gamboge yellow. Pronotum 

 above with a broad median longitudinal bar of Vandyke brown, some- 

 what mixed with blackish laterally ; lateral margins of the disk of the 

 pronotum with a rather distinct bar of wood brown, which becomes ob- 

 solete posteriorly ; lateral lobes with the post-ocular streak broad and 

 shining black, occupying slightly more than the superior half of the lobe, 

 the inferior margin of the streak supplied with two ovate white blotches, 

 which are strongly contrasted against the shining black bar; remainder of 

 the lateral lobes broccoli brown, slightly mixed interiorly with wood
