median line ; supra-anal plate trigonal, slightly longer than wide, apex 

 rather blunt; subgenital plate broad, the apical margin U-shaped, a 

 slightly elevated rugose area is situated cephalad of the margin proper. 

 Prosternal spine conical, slightly depressed. Interspace between the 

 mesosternal lobes slightly longer than broad in the male, subquadrate in 

 the female ; interspace between the metasternal lobes small in the female, 

 the lobes subcontiguous in the male. Cephalic and median femora con- 

 siderably inflated and bowed in the male. Caudal femora reaching be- 

 yond the apex of the abdomen in both sexes, moderately inflated, the 

 greatest width contained more than three times in length ; caudal tibiae 

 with nine spines on the lateral margins. 



General color of the male clay color marked with clove brown. Eyes 

 prout's brown ; postocular bars continued across the dorsal section of the 

 lateral lobes of the pronotum, deep and irregularly delimited ventrad on 

 the prozona, very narrow and sharply defined on the metazona, the disk 

 of the pronotum also slightly infuscate mesad. Pleura clove brown ; the 

 mesosternum and a line on the carinaofthe metapleura of the general 

 color. Tegmina Isabella color margined ventro-proximad with clove 

 brown. Abdomen in the proximal half strongly washed laterad with 

 clove brown. Caudal femora with the lateral and internal faces with 

 three blotches of clove brown, the genicular arches weakly washed with 

 the same color, ventral sulcus scarlet vermilion ; caudal tibiae verditer 

 blue, spines cream-buff tipped with black ; tarsi soiled buff. 



Female with the general color bistre, isabella color on the face and 

 venter, postocular bar narrow and not sharply defined ; caudal femora 

 with no markings, but the ventral sulcus similar to that of the male only 

 somewhat duller ; caudal tibiae dull glaucous-blue, irregularly and rather 

 minutely mottled with brown. 



MEASUREMENTS. $ 9 



Length of body 17.2 mm. 21.5 mm. 



Length of pronotum 4.5 " 5.5 " 



Greatest caudal width of disk of pronotum .... 3. " 4.3 " 



Length of tegmen 3.4 " 3.1 " 



Greatest width of tegmen 1.8 " 26" 



Length of caudal femur 11.5 " 13.2 " 



In addition to the types a single paratypic female has been 

 examined. This specimen is slightly larger than the female 

 type, of a lighter general color, the yellow tint being more 

 apparent, and with the blue of the caudal tibiae much deeper. 

 The tegmina are also slightly shorter, but the differences are 

 of interest only to show that the species varies in size, some- 

 what in minor structural characters like the proportion of the 

 tegmina and also in color.
