and three or more times as long as the body, the legs long and slen- 

 der. Fore femora faintly stouter than the middle femora, more than 

 half as long again as the pronotum and fully half as long as the hind 

 femora, the inner carina with 2-3 long spines. Middle femora with 

 2-3 pretty long spines on the inner carina, and on the outer two small 

 ones besides a long genicular spine. Hind femora about as long as 

 the body, nearly twice as long as the fore femora, moderately stout in 

 the basal half, but the swollen portion short, the apical third being 

 subequal and the whole about four times as long as broad, the upper 

 half with a very few scattered raised points apically, the outer carina 

 feebly delicately and distantly serratulate on the distal half, more 

 delicately in the ? than in the <J, the inner carina similarly but more 

 closely spiued throughout, the intervening sulcus narrow. Hind tibiae 

 straight in both sexes and slender, nearly a sixth longer than the 

 femora, armed beneath with 1-2 subapical spines besides the apical 

 pair ; spurs subalternate, the basal just beyond the proximal fourth 

 of the tibia, fully twice as long as the tibial depth, set at an angle of 

 about 45° with the tibia and divaricating 100-120°, their tips in- 

 curved ; inner middle calcaria distinctly longer than the outer, more 

 than twice as long as the others or as the spurs, and nearly equal to 

 the first tarsal joint. Hind tarsi nearly half as long as the tibiae, the 

 first joint as long as the rest together, the second three times as long 

 as the third, and nearly equal to the fourth. Cerci very long and 

 slender, beyond the inflated basal portion tapering very gradually, as 

 long as the fore femora. Ovipositor long and straight, fully three 

 quarters as long as the hind femora, the base rather slender and taper- 

 ing, the distal half or more slender and equal, the extreme tip scarcely 

 upturned but very acute, the inner valves with an armature of fine 

 but not very long pointed teeth.

Dull testaceous, heavily infuscated especially on the thoracic seg- 

 ments which are more fuscous than testaceous, the latter appearing 

 on the pronotum principally as an impure fuscous-streaked blotch in 

 the middle of either lateral half, more or less connected posteriorly by
