apex, ventral margin nearly straight, weakly undulating to sharply 

 rounded, weakly obtuse-angulate disto-ventral angle, distal margin 

 from this point feebly concave, oblique to the acute and pro- 

 duced disto-dorsal apex. Subgenital plate small, simple, scoop- 

 shaped, the curvature of the surface sharp dorso-distad but with no 

 indication of a tubercle. Limbs moderately stout. Caudal tibiae 

 hairy, with numerous (9 and 10) external and (10 and 10) internal 

 spines. 



Allotype; 9 ; same data as type. [Hebard Collection.] 

 Size much larger than male, form distinctly more robust. Eyes 

 less protuberant ; vertex more blunt ; interocular space wider, equalling 



length of proximal antennal joint; frontal 

 costa not sulcate but with minute pits 

 above the antennal sockets, weakly and 

 broadly sulcate below. Antennae about 

 twice as long as pronotum. Median 

 carina of dorsum of pronotum stronger, 

 weak but distinct on metazona, caudal 

 margin with broad concavity more dis- 

 tinct. Ovipositor valves moderately elongate; dorsal valves with 

 dorso-external margins rather strongly toothed for the group and 

 apical tooth almost straight, scarcely curved dorsad.

Coloration. Male. Dorsal surface of head, pronotum and abdo- 

 men, including tegmina, deep olive brown, shading to buffy olive 

 laterad on abdomen. Face, cephalic and median limbs, ventral 

 surface of sternum and lateral and ventral surfaces of abdomen buffy 

 olive, becoming yellowish on sternum and proximo-ventral portion 

 of abdomen. Antennae buffy olive, shading to deep olive brown in 

 distal half. Eyes prout's brown. Genae buffy olive with a broad 

 but weak brownish postocular band, weakly margined dorsad with 

 buffy. Lateral lobes of pronotum in dorsal half claret brown, the 

 band broadest caudad, its ventral margin concave; ventral half 

 buffy, washed with claret brown. Caudal femora ecru olive washed 

 with dragons blood red, this decided on the dorsal and ventral 

 surfaces and proximad on the internal surfaces. Caudal tibiae
