sutural margin slightly distad of one-third of entire length from base. 

 Wings with two to four complete and two to five incomplete ulnar 

 rami. Supra-anal plate with distal margin considerably and broadly 

 arcuate; cerci terete. 



General color dull raw sienna or very rarely pale ochraceous, venter 



of abdomen becoming seal brown distad, limbs 

 k^p>/ n-^-—-^ an( j more or i ess f basal portion of abdomen 



clay color. Head seal brown, eyes varying

as a pair of trigonal blotches on caudal portion, and very rarely (in 



pale ochraceous individuals) almost unsuffused; lateral portions 



never suffused. 



9 . Size small ; form elliptical, slightly broader caudad than cephalad ; 

 surface glabrous. Head projecting very slightly cephalad of cephalic 

 margin of pronotum; interspace between eyes distinctly broader than 

 that between antennal bases; antennse shorter than body. Pronotum 

 semi-ovate, greatest length contained one and one-half times in 

 greatest width; cephalic margin subtruncate, lateral margin oblique 

 truncato-arcuate, caudal margin subtruncate, lateral angles rotundato- 

 rectangulate ; disk in transverse section arcuate, oblique sulci absent. 

 Tegmina lobiform, lateral, at base separated by interspace equal to 

 one and one-half times their width, very slightly longer than half of 

 pronotal length, very slightly surpassing caudal margin of mesonotum, 

 apex well rounded. Wings absent. Supra-anal plate very broadly 

 obtuse- angulate, apex rounded, with blunt medio-longitudinal carina; 

 eerci depressed, rather broad proximad, terete. 



General color pitch-black, pronotum, mesonotum, metanotum and 

 tegmina margined with ferruginous, pronotum very narrowly so. 



Measurements. — d\ Length of body 8.5-12 mm.; length of pro- 

 notum 2-3; greatest width of pronotum 2.8-4.1; length of tegmen 

 10-13.5; greatest width of tegmen 3.5-4.5: 



9. Length of body 9-9.5 mm. ; length of pronotum 2.8-3; greatest 

 width of pronotum 4.3-4.6; length of tegmen 1.5-1.7; greatest width 

 of tegmen 1.5. 



Distribution. — The published records and available material show
