sockets. Pronotum more ample than in male, with point of greatest width near 

 caudal margin, discal sulci obsolete. Tegmina decidedh" reduced, less than twice 

 as long as anal field, broadh" sub-lanceolate, with apex in discoidal field and rather 

 sharply rounded. Wings decidedly atrophied, falling slightly short of apex of anal 

 field of tegmina. but with fields and veins fully defined. Sixth dorsal abdominal 

 segment with distal margin broadly convex, except in very brief lateral portions 

 where it is weakly concave, extending over brief proximo-mesal portion of supra- 

 anal plate. Supra-anal plate nearly half as long as wide, projecting beyond distal 

 margin of subgenital plate, lateral margins weakly concave and convergent to 

 between bases of cerci. thence nearly straight, convergent to the sharply rounded 

 apex. Cerci decidedly shorter than in male, with lateral margins very feebly cren- 

 ate meso-distad. Subgenital plate convex, with distal margin broadly convex and 

 somewhat flattened, subtruncate in mesal section. 



Two additional females before us have the lateral margins of the supra-anal plate 

 more strongly concave, the apex varying also slightly in form.
