The present series agrees fnllv witl.i AA'alker’s description, ex- 
cept that in no individual is tlie tegminai reduction equalled. 
The majority have th(' organs of flight extending slightly beyond 
the apex of the supra-anal plate, in hut two females do these 
members fail to reach that point by a very brief distance. 
Tlie head has a very l)road l)lackish interocular band, invaded 
by rays from the huffy vertex, these rays varying with intensifi- 
cation and recession of the color pattern, sometimes subobsolete, 
sometimes very narrowly severing the band. The vertex aiul 
face are finely Init not thickly dotted with blackish bi-own, these 
dots fusing in intensive specimens to form a very narrow subocellar 
transverse band and a delicate picturing below. The pronotum 
is minutely anti very heavily dotted with Itlackish brown, so 
finely and evenly that it appears almost solidly colored to the 
naked eye. The temgina are minutely and thickly dotted with 
dark brown, a moderate numlter of larger flecks, lighter than the 
dots, occurring in the distal portion. The wing coloration is 
striking, the anterior field being strongly tinged with ochraceous- 
tawn}', transparent except in area of the costal veins, where it is 
opaepu' and mars brown in coloration, radiate field is trans- 
parent, faintly tinged with sepia, except distad near the int('r- 
calat(‘d triangle where a faint ochraceous-tawny tinge is notc'd, 
showing a weak tessellation, the veins of this field are sepia. The 
ground coloration of the insect, including the limbs, is clay coloi', 
tlu' limbs with fine longitudinal streaks and frecpient dots of 
mummy brown. The abdomen is heavily suffused with blackish 
blown dorsad, except for a very narrow Imffy margin, ventrad 
it is clay color, heavil}^ and thickly dotted with mummy brown.
