THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



thorax rather longer than usual, thereby throwing the base of the posterior 

 femora about (female) or back of the middle of the body (male), and 

 giving it a rather " long-waisted " appearance. Tegmina extending upon 

 the second abdominal segment, ovate-lanceolate, meeting upon the dor- 

 sum. Abdomen carinated, rather slender : the last ventral segment of the 

 male upturned, prow-shaped, with the point produced into a blunt pro- 

 jection ; cerci rather long, the width about one third the length, directed 

 a little backward and inward with the apex rounded and curving slightly 

 forward; supra-anal plate triangular, the apex rounded and minutely 

 notched, with a long, deep central foveola ; marginal apophyses of the 

 preceding segment small, wart-like projections. Posterior femora inflated 

 at the base, rather smooth, extending beyond the apex of the abdomen. 

 Prosternal spine large, conical, transverse, rather long, and directed back- 

 ward. Antennas normal, a trifle longer than the head and pronotum com- 

 bined. 



The general color is testaceo-ferruginous above, yellowish beneath. 

 Face, occiput and disk of the pronotum flecked with numerous minute 

 fuscous dots, which run together in some specimens and form rather large 

 irregular blotches ; a broad piceous band extending from the posterior 

 edge of the eye along the upper margins of the lateral lobes of the pro- 

 notum to the last transverse incision. Meso- and meta-pleura dark brown 

 or black with a stripe of the light color extending from the base of the 

 tegmina to the insertion of the posterior femora. Tegmina dark brown 

 with a few irregular, fuliginous dots along the middle area ; nerves a little 

 lighter. Posterior femora testaceous, with the base and two rather dim 

 bands fuscous, these bands being plainest on the upper edge. There are 

 also a few black dots along the lower edge of the disk and about the 

 apex. Posterior tibiae bright red, with the knee and spines black. An- 

 tennse testaceous, becoming slightly infuscated apically. 



Length of body, male 18.5 m.m., female 22 m.m.; of antennse, male 

 and female 8 m.m.; of tegmina, male 5.5 m.m., female 6 m.m.; of hind 

 femora, male 10.5 m.m., female 12 m.m.
