towards the posterior margin of the metazona. Posterior margin of the 

 lateral lobes very oblique, forming an angle of about sixty degrees with 

 the dorsum, more or less distinctly angulate with the sinuous lower 

 margin ; metazona densely jxinctate, prozona glabrous and shining. 

 Prosternal spine short, bluntly conical, slightly bent backward, transverse 

 in the female. Tegmina not longer than the pronotum, generally 

 distinctly shorter, ovate in outline, the greatest breadth being about two- 

 thirds the length ; sometimes barely meeting on the dorsum, but more 

 often separated by a space of variable width, which is occasionally equal 

 to nearly half the greatest width of the tegmen. Wings reduced to mere 

 scales which do not quite reach the tympanum. Cerci of the male not 

 quite reaching to the tip of the supra-anal plate, simple, about two-thirds 

 as broad at the base as long, tapering to a blunt rounded point, which is 

 not or scarcely bent inwards, outer margin nearly straight, inner slightly 

 sinuate ; under surface slightly convex near the base. Supra-anal plate 

 with a narrow median furrow and a broader one of about equal depth on 

 each side ; triangular in outline, with rounded sides ; width at base about 

 two-thirds the length. Furcula minute, not more than about one-sixth 

 length of the supra-anal plate, about as broad as long, slightly approximate 

 and somewhat constricted in the middle. Sub-genital plate narrow, 

 elongate, entire, terminating in a blunt point. Hind femora stout, reach- 

 ing beyond the tip of the abdomen in the male, not quite to the end as a 

 rule in the female. Colour of dried specimens : Above, dull grayish- 

 brown, somewhat paler on the abdomen in the female, more or less dis- 

 tinctly speckled with darker gray. A shining black band runs from the 

 posterior border of the eye across the upper half of the lateral lobe of the 

 pronotum and downward to the middle coxa, and also backward along 

 the side of the abdomen, fading away near the last segment. It encloses 

 an oblique whitish spot running from the base of the tegmen to the hind 

 coxa. Below this black band the whole of the head and thorax is yellowish- 

 white in well-preserved specimens, deeper yellow on the metasternum. 

 There is also in the female generally a short whitish line along the lateral 

 carina of the pronotum, which is sometimes continued downward and 

 forward in an interrupted line across the black band. Venter pale yellow, 

 darker in the female. Hind femora yellowish-brown, under surface 

 reddish-yellow, crossed on both outer and inner surfaces by two oblique, 

 more or less distinct, dusky bands. Hind tibije coral-red. t'ore and
