exceeding the apex of the abdomen, moderately robust, median carina 

 well spined, dorso-lateral carina with six spines, genicular lobes and 

 median and lateral angles of the genicular region well spined. 



General color black, variegated with saffron yellow as follows : a 

 narrow medio-longitudinal line from the fastigium to the curve of the 

 abdomen, also continued over the face to the clypeal suture, slightly 

 expanding on the ventral section of the face ; the two proximal anten- 

 nal joints and a broad, oblique subocular bar on the gense, a narrow 

 bar along the cephalic margin of the lateral lobes of the pronotum, a 

 broad patch on the caudal section of the same lobes, involving a por- 

 tion of the mesonotum, and the median and distal portions of the abdo- 

 men margined with the paler color. Cephalic and median limbs saffron 

 yellow, becoming subrufescent on the feet. Caudal femora ochraceous 

 with the carinal spines and the genicular extremity, except the median 

 carina and a distinct yellow margining to the genicular lobes, black. 

 Antennae except the two proximal joints brownish. 



MEASUREMENTS. 



Length of body 11.5 mm. 



Length of pronotum 2.3 mm. 



Length of caudal femur 9.2 mm. 



$ . The female specimen which we have associated with the male 

 type differs from it only in such characters as are essentially sexual 

 and in the color, aside from the number of spines on the dorso-lateral 

 carinas of the caudal femora being five instead of six. 



The ovipositor jaws have the teeth quite robust, while the supra-anal 

 plate has the paired carinae much as in the male. 



The general color was probably yellow (much altered by immersion 

 in spirits), the cephalic and median limbs and distal half of the caudal 

 femora, exclusive of a yellowish line on the median carina of the gen- 

 icular region and the margins of the genicular lobes, and the greater 

 portion of the caudal tibiae black. The pre-genicular region of the 

 caudal tibiae is indistinctly glaucous and the distal extremity and the 

 bases of the spines of the same are more or less yellowish. The an- 

 tennae are colored as in the male. 



MEASUREMENTS. 



Length of body 17. mm. 



Length of pronotum 3.3 mm. 



Length of caudal femur 1 1 .5 mm. 







The pair described above are the only representatives of the 

 species seen by us.
