66 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Feb., '16 



rounded actite-angulate. Coxae unarmed. Femora short with margins 



smooth. Cephalic and median tibiae with 

 margins smooth, each supplied distad with 

 four minute spines ; caudal tibiae with dorsal 

 margins supplied with alternating brief and 

 very brief spines, armed distad with two pairs 

 of short spurs, the dorsal pair being slightly 



view of supra-anal plate t j ie i on g er . Caudal metatarsus supplied with 



and cerci of type, male. . 



(Greatly enlarged.) a sharp dorso-distal spine. bupra-anal plate 



produced between the cerci in two large lobes with apices external, 

 these lobes forming a deep cleft mesad, this continued as a medio- 

 longitudinal suture to the base of the plate. Cerci stout, curving in- 

 ward mesad above the supra-anal plate, with thornlike apex directed 

 at a right angle to the proximal portion of the cereal shaft. Sub- 

 genital plate large and full, surface slightly depressed meso-distad, dis- 

 tal margin subsinuate, transverse. 



Allotype: 9 ; same data as type. [Hebard Collection.] 



Description of Allotype. Agrees with type except in the following 

 features. Supra-anal plate short, bilobate ; beneath produced in a 

 shield-shaped plate. Cerci small, awl-like. Ovipositor short, curved 

 weakly upward; dorsal valves bearing on distal half of dorsal margin 

 a number of irregular, moderately broad, transverse teeth, which in- 

 crease in size to the apex which is formed by a longer, heavy, upward- 

 curved tooth ; ventral valves supplied in distal third of ventral margin 

 with five heavy, broad, transverse teeth, the surface of the valves con- 

 cave between the bases of these. Subgenital plate produced in three 

 long acute projections, of which mesal is slightly the longest, the space 

 between these deeply and narrowly acute-angulate emarginate. 



Measurements (in millimeters).

Color Notes. General coloration prouts brown to buckthorn brown, 

 slightly speckled with a darker shade. Mesonotmn and metanotum 

 marked laterad with two heavy bands of dark mummy brown, which 

 diverge regularly and strongly but become gradually weaker, caudad. 

 Outer faces of caudal femora with numerous minute interrupted streaks 

 of dark brown. Subgenital plate of male, as in bilobatus, bears a strik- 

 ing dark transverse bar near its proximal margin. 



Tn addition to the type and allotype, we have before tis a 

 series of six males and twelve females, bearing the same data, 

 which may be considered paratypes.
