COLOMBIAN' DERMAPTERA AND ORTHOPTERA 
I'ather ])roa(lly rounded, not acute. The tegmina are glossj" as 
if lacquered, luit veiy similar in form and venation, except that 
the ajiex is not as evenly rounded and situated further toward 
the costal margin, the veins showing no minute swellings. The 
wings are similar, the veins heavier and more shining, with median 
vein unbranched. 
Type . — 9; Villavicencio, Intendencia del i\Ieta, Colombia. 
Elevation, 1400 feet. 1919. (From A. Maria.) [Hebard Col- 
lection, Type no. 669.] 
Size medium, larger than melae, form oval, the greatest width being across 
the abdomen mesad. Head hidden under pronotum. Head very broad, 
the reduced eyes widely separated by a distance (2.1 mm.) slightly greater 
than that between the weakly dehned ocellar spots; exposed surface of head 
rather coarsely and thickly (but weakly and scantily as compared with the 
genotj'pe) impresso-punctate; cheeks moderately supplied with hairs; face 
flattened, very feebly convex, with two transverse impressions just below 
and between the ocelli and on each side above the labial suture. 
Pronotum extendiiig well beyond head, showing a very feeble sub-cucullate 
condition, rather strongly convex to the scarcely reflexed narrow lateral i)or- 
tions of the cejjhalic margin, this margin subcingiilate, evenly convex to the 
latero-caiulal angles, which are weakly i)roduced caudad, forming an angle of 
about ninety degrees; caudal margin as m miiae. Entire dorsal surface ap- 
panmtly smooth and somewhat jiolished, but under high magnification seen 
to be very thickly supi^lied with very minute, flattened, irregularly rounded 
rugae, these changing proximad on abdomen to minute, flattened, scattered 
l)oints, which decrease greatly in number caudail. Tegmina and wings 
absent. Supra-anal and subgenital plates as in vietae. Cerci very short 
and lamellate, not ])rojecting beyond the body outline. 
Limbs showing .some degree of atrophy of all sjiines, surfaces almost smooth. 
\ entro-cephalic margin of cei)halic femora armed with five (five and seven 
in allotype*) heavy, irregular and irregularl}^ placed spines, succeeded by 
an irregular row of rather elongate chaetiform si)ines, terminated by a small 
but heavy, though plainly decidedly atrophied, distal si)ine (one ami two in 
allotype, not showing as great atrophy); other ventral femoral margins with 
a few chaetiform hairs, exce])t caudal margin of cephalic femora which is 
armed with one distal and one sub-distal spine (the same in allotype) and 
cephalic margins of median and caudal femora, which are armed with one 
to four and one distal (two to three and one distal in allotyi)e) spines. Tarsi 
heav}*, caudal metatarsus as long as eombined length of succeeding tarsal 
joints. 4'arsal armament, claws and pulvilli as in nietae, except that the 
latter an^ slightly larger, that of the eaudal metatarsus being one ami a half 
times as long as wide.
