female at hand differs from the type in being somewhat longer, with 

 pronotal width slightly greater and tegmina slightly longer, in all 

 other respects agreeing closely with the measurements given by 

 Stal. 



The following features are noted for the present material. Facial 

 scutellum with lateral margins parallel, broader than high (cf 1.9 

 by 1.7, 9 2.8 by 2.7 mm.), showing two parallel vertical carinse 

 which are well defined, particularly ventrad, but show a brief sub- 

 sidence, though no break, immediately below the median point. 

 Cephalic coxae with cephalic margin armed with small, somewhat 

 irregularly placed, slender but blunted spines (eight to thirteen ^^), 

 with apices directed distad, those meso-distad being slightly the 

 larger. Cephalic femora with base and apex of trochanter flecked 

 with dark brown, a minute brown fleck at base of first discoidal 

 spine, at base of first large spine beyond the unguicular sulcus and 

 at bases of last two large spines of this series, these spines, as well 

 as the third discoidal spine, blackish brown on their internal faces. 

 All spines of cephaHc femora and tibiae black tipped. Each joint 

 of cephalic tarsi flecked with brown distad. Pronotum with well 

 developed but not closely placed marginal denticulations on collar 

 and cephalic half of shaft, weaker in one male and in that specimen 

 mainly indicated on collar. Tegmina with discoidal field trans- 

 parent, hyaline in males, opaque in female, except mesad between 

 veins, where they are translucent; stigma small (length 2.7 to 2.8 

 mm.), flecked with brown proximad and distad.
