50 TETTIGID^ OF NORTH AMERICA 



bv about one millimeter. Anterior and middle femora very 

 slender, the latter five times as long as broad, with irregularly 

 sinuate margins; hind legs missing. 



Total length, I, 9.4 mm.; pronotum, 8 mm. 



Habitat, Nicaragua, Castillo (Shimek in Coll. Bruner); 

 Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, 2,500 to 4,000 feet (Champion). 



Two males. Professor Bruner's specimen is immature, 

 and he referred it with some doubt to another genus, as noted 

 above; but so similar is it to the adult male from Chiriqui 

 described that I have no doubt of their specific identity.

Antennse long, reaching the humeral angles, filiform, very 

 slender, joints 9-12 the longest. Face very retreating, convex
