TETTIGIDEA PRORSA, SCUDD. 



Plate X., Fig. I. 



Varying from dark testaceous to blackish, generally dark- 

 est on the sides, but the face and lower third of pronotum 

 generally pale yellow in the male; antennae luteous, black on 

 apical fourth or less. Face more than usually oblicjue; eyes 

 not so prominent as usual; fastigium broadening greatly in 

 front, its anterior edge forming with the contour of the eyes 

 an almost continuous curve, subangulated in front, giving the 

 head a bluntly conical aspect, ver}^ different from that of any 

 other known species; near the extreme tip of the fastigium 

 commences a low, blunt, but moderately stout carina, con- 

 tinuing down the face as the frontal costa, where it is very 

 prominent, compressed, equal, convex on side view and 

 slenderly sulcate. Pronotum rather slender, but only as long 

 as, or even shorter than, the abdomen, scabrous, the front 

 margin broadly convex, the median carina distinct, but not 

 very elevated, the outer edges beyond the sinus marginate, 

 and between them and the median carina two or three vein- 

 like dull longitudinal ridges. Tegmina nearly smooth, wings 

 no longer than pronotum.
