A New Species of the Genus Trybliophorus (Orthop- 



tera) from Surinam. 

 BY JAMES A. G. REHN. 



Trybliophorus elegans n. sp. 



Type: ? ; Surinam, May-September. (Hebard collection). 

 Allied to T. octomaculata Serville, from Cayenne, but differing 

 in the larger size and different coloration, while from T. pcni- 

 viana Bruner* it differs in the following particularsf : Slightly 

 smaller, comparatively shorter pronotum with a shorter an- 

 terior lobe and more profusely punctate hind lobe, narrower 

 costal field of the tegmina, much slenderer and acuminate 

 valves of the ovipositor, larger and more prominent eyes, less 

 strongly punctured front, paler colored, narrower and more in- 

 terrupted flavous bands on face, cheeks, sides of pronotum and 

 pleura; more decidedly marked face (yellow) in having the 

 fastigium, upper portion of frontal costa, antennae and upper 

 posterior margins of lateral lobes of pronotum tinged with car- 

 mine and in the paler and more strongly serrate hind femora. 



Size rather large ; form robust ; surface generally rugoso-punctate. 

 Head with the occiput arched, distinctly elevated dorsad of the disk 

 of the pronotum, interspace between the eyes hardly more than half 

 the fastigial width; fastigium slightly declivent, produced, longer than 

 broad, apex truncate when viewed from the dorsum, a 

 slightly medio-longitudinal sulcus present, when viewed 

 from the lateral aspect the fastigium is seen to round into 

 the produced dorsal portion of the frontal costa, this pro- 

 duced arcuate portion being distinctly compressed, not sul- 

 cate but with a few large punctures near the ocellus, 

 a distinct transverse arcuate depression crosses the face
