ber of fine teeth and on the apical two-thirds with nine long calcaria, 

 whitish basally, black apically, the two basal ones and the apical one 

 shorter, being about one-half as long as the broadest depth of the- 

 tibia, the other six very long, the longest being fully as long as the 

 greatest tibial depth; on the inner side the third tibiae are armed 

 on a little less than the basal two-thirds of the undulating margin with 

 a number of short black-tipped teeth, similar to those of the outer 

 margin, and armed with nine long heavy calcaria arranged about as 

 those of the outer side, but the long calcaria much longer, the longest 

 being decidedly longer than the greatest tibial depth. First and 

 third tarsi tetramerous, the first and second segments short, the

second little more than one-half as long as the first and both together 

 scarcely one-half as long as the third; the two basal segments are 

 produced vcntrally as blunt, naked, black-tipped projections, the basal 

 segment of the hind tarsus having a stout triangular tooth about the 

 middle beneath; the third segment of both the first and third 

 tarsi are cylindrical and the claws are very long, more than two-thirds 

 as long as the apical tarsal segment and thick basally, apically taper- 

 ing and infuscated. The middle tarsi are pentamerous, the basal and 

 apical segments subequal in length, the intermediate ones very small, 

 the second closely united to the basal one, none ventrally produced as 

 are those of the first and third tarsi. The claws of the middle 

 tarsi are less elongate than those of the others. 



Color brown and light yellow, the first and intermediate legs, 

 the lower half of the head, the ventral margin of the lateral lobes of 

 the pronotum, the ovipositor and the margins of the abdominal seg- 

 ments being the latter color. The inner face of the third tibiae, 

 the base of the calcaria and spines and the third tarsi as well as 

 the antennae, at least basally, and the body of the black-tipped palpi 

 are also light yellowish, and the face and outer disk of the third 

 femora are mottled with it.
