COSTA RICAN DEKMAPTERA AND ORTHOPTERA 
of arms with dorsal surface less deplanate than in triqucira, dorso-external 
face more concave than in triqiietra; hairiness of forceps as evident as in 
iriqmira, most pronounced on external surfaces. Penultimate sternite as 
in triqnrtra. Limbs robust, as in triquctra, femora inflated. 
(iencral color bone brown to clove brown on the head and pronotum, pass- 
ing to russet on the abdomen and ^yalnut brown on the forcei)s. Tegmina 
evenly paling in sutural half to hazel and on humeral angle to ochraceous- 
buff, the disto-lateral section remaining dark. Exposed portion of wings 
ochraceous-buff proximad, passing toward general color distad. Dorsum 
of abdomen with an indefinite infuscation mesad, which is marked only on 
anal segment. Pygidium dull ochraceous-tawny. Limbs of the general 
color, paling in the vicinity of the articulations and on the tarsi to huffy. 
Length of body (exclusive of forceps), 6.2 mm.; length of pronotinn, 1; 
greatest width of i)ronotum, 1.1; length of tegmen, 1.8; length of forceps, 1.9. 
The type is unique. 
It sives me great pleasure to dedicate this interesting species 
to its collector, my colleague Dr. Philip P. Calvert, as a token 
of esteem as well as appreciation of his kindly help and advice, 
often sought and here gladly acknowledged, and also in recogni- 
tion of his important contributions to our knowledge of the 
entomology of Central America. 
Forficulidae 
OPISTHOCOSMITNAE 
As Hebard has already suggested,^ we feel convinced that the 
Neolobophorinae is not sufficiently distinct from the jiresent 
subfamily to warrant its recognition as of equal rank. We feel 
also that the ( Ipisthocosmiinae as here understood should, in a 
liiK'ar classification, precede the Ancistrogastrinae, and come 
between the Forficulinae, and probably Eudohrninae, and the 
Ancistrogastrinae. 
The genus Neolooophora iScudder® has as its genotype', by 
monotypy, Ab hogotenais Scudder, based on a single female' fre)ni 
Ije)ge)ta, ('e)le)mbia. While i-ecoreled luoi'e than e)nce by late-r 
authors it would seem, as elaben-ateel below, that the spe'e-ics 
has I'emained virtually um-e'cognizeel until the ))re'sent time.
