REHN AND HEBARD 265 



with immediate apex sharp and decurved, distal portion of cercus elongate, 

 horizontally strongly depressed, lateral margins converging evenly and decid- 

 edly to sharply rounded apex. Subgenital plate with distal margin weakly 

 convex between the short disto-lateral styles. Cephalic and median limbs 

 well developed but with spination not unusually heavy. Caudal femora 

 elongate with proximal portion decidedly swollen, ventro-external margins 

 armed with a number of very small stout spines, genicular lobes strongly 

 bispinose, genicular areas very weakly infuscated. 



Descripiion of 9 . — Very similar to type, size slightly larger. Tegmina 

 similar to d' except for sex differences. Ovipositor ''^ elongate, nearly straight 

 but with a perceptible downward curvature. ''= Subgenital plate flat with 

 lateral margins turned upward roundly and embracing the base of the ovi- 

 positor, very brief distal margin of flat surface transverse.

The other female before us has the lateral lobes of the pro- 

 notuni distinctly shallower with the ventral margin distinctly 

 less obliciue, the specimen is however unciuestionably conspecific. 



The coloration of the species is not unusual, the general color 

 being pale green (much faded in these specimens) with the medio- 

 longitudinal stripe of head and pronotum subobsolete.'^'' In the 

 male sex the distal portion of the abdomen, including the cerci, 

 is pale yellow brown; this is weakly indicated in the females. 

 The genicular areas of the caudal femora are very briefly and 

 weakly infuscated. 



" In both females before us the dorsal valves of the ovipositor surpass the 

 ventral valves by .7 mm. This is unusual in the genus but is probably of little 

 value as a specific character. 



^^ In the other topotypic female before us, the downward curvature of the 

 ovipositor, though still suggested, is even less pronounced. 



•"^ In but one of the three decidedly faded specimens before us this stripe is 

 indicated on the dorsum of the vertex, with margins alone defined by weak 

 l)arallel lines on th(> pronotum.
