•of the metatarsus. Cephalic metatarsi with a distal suffusion of 

 blackish brown and, in the male, washed with this color mesad. 

 Genicular areas of median and caudal femora narrowly blackish 

 brown. Tegmina and wings transparent, moderately iridescent, 

 hyaline, tinged weakly but distinctly with oriental green. Stigma 

 of general tegminal coloration. 



The paratypic female at hand shows a recessive type of coloration 

 in having the cephalic tibiae with only traces of the two brown suf- 

 fusions.

Males of the present species might easily be mistaken, at first 

 glance, for representatives of the genus Amantis Giglio-Tos. Closer 

 examination, however, shows the pronotum to be of an entirely 

 different type, and the species to be, in fact, very widely separated 

 from that genus. The superficial similarity of males of these species 

 is even greater than that found between males of Opsomantis tumidi- 

 ceps and those of Amantis, as in males of semirufula a weak but 

 distinct lateral concavity of the pronotal shaft occurs. 



In the male at hand the ocelli are well developed and approxi- 

 mate, the facial scutellum about one-third as high as its basal width.
