ventrad; the fastigio-facial truncation is more rounded; antennae 

 much shorter and less strongly ensiform proximad. The wings have 

 the disk colored as in the male, but the anterior field is hyaline in- 

 stead of largely blackish-brown as it is, continuously with the disk, in 

 the male. The prosternal process, rather curiously, is unsymmetrical 

 in both females, Ireing transverse as in the male, tut having the 

 sinistral angle distinctly projecting in a moderately acute or sub- 

 bulbous projection, far more developed than the corresponding 

 dextral angle. The cerci of the female are very slender, tapering, 

 nearly reaching the tip of the supra-anal plate; ovipositor valves 

 elongate, the dorsal pair greatly produced, slightly more than twice- 

 as long as the cerci and nearly twice as long as the ventral valves, 

 strongly compressed, sublamellate, unarmed, tips blunt. The fas- 

 tigium and occiput bear a pair of fine l^lue-black lines, which gradu- 

 ally diverge caudad, these represented on the pronotum by paired 

 diffuse mottlings of the same shade, which color the punctations of 

 the regions they cover, the transverse sulci are lined with blue-black; 

 the impressed lines on the face and some of the punctations on the 

 same, blue-black; dorsum of the abdomen broadly nopal red; a 

 narrow line on the ventral section of the external face of the caudal 

 femora and the dorsal surface blue-black.

This specimen is somewhat smaller than the original measurements 

 of the same sex, but otherwise it is not different as far as can be 

 determined from the very brief original description. The antennae 

 have well-separated pale annuli on a dark ground, the pale areas^
