abruptly elevated and thickened in a truncate projection, the apical product- 

 ion thus formed nearly four times as broad as thi<;k and slightly broatler than 

 high.'- 



Allotype.- — 9 ; same data as type, except that it was taken at 

 6400 feet on August 24, 1913. [Hebard Collection.] 



Agrees with the type except in the following fcatiu'cs. Size much larger, 

 form decidedly more robust. Sulci and lateral carinae of the broader vertex 

 and frontal costa much weaker, present on frontal costa only about region 

 of median ocellus. Eye appreciably less than twice as long as intraocular 

 sulcus. Medio-longitudinal carina of pronotum more conspicuous, particu- 

 larly in metazonal portion. Tegmina and wings showing distinct reduction, 

 extending slightly beyond caudal femora (failing to reach this point by a 

 brief distance in the paratypic females), failing to reach the apex of the abdo- 

 men by a brief distance. Ovipositor valves with distal curvature decided 

 particularly for the dorsal pair.

Head grayish olive, maculate with dark grayish olive, on each side with a 

 broad and shining postocular bar of blackish nnunmy brown. I'rouotuni 

 with disk heavily overlaid, except rather broadly along lateral margins where 

 the suffusion is weaker, with bone brown"; lateral lobes buffy, heavily 

 flecked and suffused with bone brown, in the dorsal area the blackish mummy 

 brown postocular bar is continued, much broadened but irregular with pale 

 patches, so that the appearance is more that of a suffusion than of a bar. 

 Tegmina hair brown, flecked with blackish, particularly along median line 

 of costal fields. Wings transparent, hyaline, tinged with glass green i)roxi- 

 mad; veins black in all but caudal portion of axillary field, where they are 

 glass green. Cephalic and median limbs hair brown, flecked and irregularly 

 blotched, particularly on the external surfaces of the femora, with blackish 



'2 This shows similarity in general structure to the type developed in M. 

 punctulatus punctulatus and p. arboreus, the distal sp.>cialization being very 

 much greater and normally more acute in those races and much tlie inore
