198 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



in the (^ nearly half as long again. Pronotum rather short, the sides 

 nearly parallel in the (^ , but considerably divergent in the $ i so that the 

 posterior border is more than one-third as long again as the anterior. 

 Disk broadly convex, passing into the nearly vertical lateral lobes with- 

 out a trace of lateral carinie. Prozona a little more than twice as long 

 as the metazona, quadrate or slightly tranverse in the 9 • Anterior and 

 posterior margins of the disk truncate, the latter slightly emarginate. 

 Median carina slight, nearly obliterated on the prozona, but distinct on 

 the metazona. Posterior margins of lateral lobes but little oblique, 

 forming a decided angle witli the lower margin. Prosternal spine nearly 

 vertical, short, conical, not very blunt. Interspace between the 

 mesosternal, lobes in the ^ nearly half as broad again as long and nearly 

 or quite as broad as the lobes themselves, in the $ twice as broad as 

 long and distinctly broader than the lobes. Metasternal lobes rather 

 distant in the ,^ , more distant than the width of the frontal costa in the 

 ?. Legs rather stout; fore and middle femora tumid in the (^ , 

 Abdomen with a distinct median carina. E.vtremity in the ^ feebly 

 clavate and a little upturned. Supra-anal plate three-fourths as broad at 

 the base as long, triangular with an obtusangulate apex ; sides gently 

 emarginate, considerably elevated, median sulcus nearly percurrent, 

 moderately deep, its bounding walls about as much elevated as the sides. 

 Furcula consisting of a pair of minute rounded tubercles. In one 

 specimen, which is the one figured, it is quite distinct and much better 

 developed than in the others, in which it is almost obsolete. Cerci 

 distinctly shorter than the supra-anal plate, about twice as long as the 

 width at the base, compressed, styliform, tapering a little more rapidly 

 in the basal than in the apical half. Subgenital plate rather large, 

 conical, apical margins not elevated above the lateral margins, the latter 

 parallel on their basal half, but narrowing beyond to the small mesially 

 notched apex. Upper valves of ovipositor rather short, not narrowed at 

 base, slightly falciform apically. In the specimen shown on the plate 

 they are more than normally exserted. 



Colour of Dried Specimens. — Fem:ile : Dull, rather dark olivaceous 

 above, dull yellow tinged with olivaceous beneath. Face and lower 

 half of the lateral lobes of the pronotum yellowish-green or olivaceous, 

 more or less clouded with grayish olivaceous, especially on the clypeus 

 and labrum ; a broad piceous band starts from the middle of the 

 posterior border of the eye, passes over the upper half of the pateral
