of a reddish color, the outer carina armed with 3-4 very small subequal 

 irregularly distant spines, the inner with a dozen spinules irregularly 

 placed, the intervening sulcus not very broad. Hind tibia; straight, 

 about a tenth longer than the femora, armed beneath with a single 

 preapical spine besides the apical pair ; spurs subofiposite, the basal 

 at end of basal fourth of the tibia, fully twice as long as the tibial 

 df^pth, set at an angle of about 30° with the tibia and divaricating 

 scarcely more than 90°, their tips incurved distinctly; inner middle 

 calcaria twice or more than twice as long as the others or as the 

 spurs and as long as or longer than the first tarsal joint. Hind tarsi 

 fully two fifths the length of the tibise, the first joint almost or quite 

 as long as the rest together, the second more than twice as long as the 

 third and with it as long as the fourth. Cerci pretty stout at base, 

 tapering delicately, probably as long as the femoral breadth (broken in 

 all specimens seen). 



Length of body, 16 mm. ; antenna?, 28+ mm. ; pronotum, 5.1 mm. ; 

 fore femora, 6.5 mm.; hind femora, 14.6 mm.; hind tibiiB, 16 mm.

Deep blackish fuscous, almost black, marked slenderly with luteous 

 which dorsally is tinged with reddish ; there is a mediodorsal line, ex- 

 panding near the postei'ior margin of the pronotum, on the middle of 

 the meso- and metanotum, and on the anterior margin of the abdominal 

 segments into small subtriangular or sublozenge-shaped patches, and 

 crossed near the anterior margin of the pronotum by a short transverse 

 bar sometimes forming a rhomb ; the sides of the segments and particu- 

 larly of the pronotum are marked in the middle by irregular luteous 

 blotches and the lateral margins of the thoracic segments are bordered 

 with the same more or less conspicuously ; the hind femora are dark 

 luteous with heavy scalariform markings of black and with longi- 

 tudinal streaks of blackish fuscous on either side of the submedian 

 clear stripe apically ; other femora luteous like the rest of the legs, 

 but more or less infuscated, especially apically. Antennae moderately 

 slender and probably long ; legs moderately long. Fore femora not 

 stouter than middle femora, less than a fourth longer than the pro- 

 notum and distinctly less than half as lonsf as the hind femora, the 

 inner carina with a very long subapical spine, sometimes accompanied by
