to the acute apex. Styles of subgenital plate minute, hardly twice 

 as long as wide, in meleagris minute but fully three times as long as 

 wide. Cephalic femora with ventro-internal margins showing the 

 following spine formula, ilililililiiiiil, the five small successive 

 spines decreasing in length distad with intervals diminishing, as 

 characteristic of the genus. Cephalic tibiae with thirteen and 

 fourteen procumbent external and thirteen and fourteen internal 

 spines on the ventral margins. Median and caudal femora dorso- 

 distad each produced caudad in a lamella which is slightly wider 

 than the caudal tibia. 



Color pattern exactly as in meleagris except for the absence of 

 the two pale transverse bands found on the pronotum in that species 

 and the reduction of the tegminal markings. Head cinnamon 

 brown, with margins of facial scutellum and proxiinal antennal 

 joints antimony yellow. Antennae proximad antimony yellow, 

 then briefly cinnamon brown, the entire remaining portions blackish 

 brown. Pronotum cinnamon brown with denticulations and mar- 

 ginal portions, particularly laterad, antimony yellow. Limbs anti- 

 mony yellow, femora and tibiae and cephalic coxae each with 

 three transverse annuli of equal width which are cinnamon brown, 

 all femora distad and cephalic coxae in addition suffused proximad 

 with cinnamon brown; cephalic metatarsus suffused with cinnamon 

 brown mesad and distad, other metatarsi suffused with cinnamon 

 brown distad, remaining tarsal joints suffused with this color. Teg- 

 rnina transparent, tinged with green, this heavy proximad, a small 

 spot at base of discoidal field and a comparatively small transverse 

 oval area before the middle of the discoidal field mustard yellow, 

 the latter bounded proximad by a black line which sends one short 

 ray of black into the yellow area; extensor field clear hyaline, color- 

 less. Wings transparent, hyaline, colorless except proximad where 

 they are briefly tinged with dark vinaceous and distad in the an- 

 terior field where they are tinged with green, particularly toward 

 the margins. 



Length of body 23.5, width of head 4.3, length of eye 2.3, length 

 of pronotum 4.7, greatest pronotal width 3.3, length of tegmen 25, 

 width of tegmen 6, width of tegminal marginal field L2, length of 

 abdomen 9.4, greatest abdominal width 5.5, length of cephalic 

 femur 6.8, length of caudal femur 6 mm. 



The type of this beautiful little species is uniciue.
