cate and without a distinct frontal carina; median carina of the vertex 

 low, slightly projecting cephalad; facial scutellum longitudinal, sub- 

 parallel, the margins arcuate and the costa distinctly sinuate above 

 and below; antennae inserted on a level with the ventral margin of 

 the eyes, placed against the facial scutellum, when extended caudad 

 reaching to the humeral angle of the pronotum; eyes subpyriform in 

 outline, moderately prominent. Pronotum strongly depressed, arcuate 

 cephalad, closely and uniformly scabrous, obscurely lineato-rugose; 

 cephalic margin truncate; humeral angles broad, extended, depressed; 

 lateral lobes with the elytral sinus moderately deep, inferior sinus deep 

 and acute, caudal angle produced and apically truncate; lateral 

 carina scabro-denticulate, obsolete cephalad of the humeral angles; 

 median carina depressed, arcuate cephalad, caudad of the humeral 

 angles irregularly undulate; caudal process long, subulate, extending 

 caudad of the tips of the caudal femora. Tegmina cylindrical ovate, 

 the surface finely tuberculate. Wings large, extending slightly bej^ond 

 the apex of the caudal process of the pronotum. Ovipositor valves of 

 the female rather short, thick, serrato-dentate. Cephalic femora mod- 

 erately undulate dorsad and ventrad. Median femora undulate dor- 

 sad, trilobate ventrad. Caudal femora short, inflated, femoral lobe 

 short and thick, dorsal carina with several subobsolete points, ventral 

 carina with several subobsolete lobes, external pagina and dorso-lateral 

 face decorated with strong diagonal scabrous ridges; tibiae strongly 

 spined, the canthi minutely serrate; metatarsi slightly exceeding the 

 remaining tarsal joints in length, pulvilli subequal in length. 



General color bistre, the wings with the cephalic margin and a large 

 rounded spot covering the great part of the wing mummy brown, 

 median limbs barred with cinnamon, caudal limbs more or less regu- 

 larly blotched with obscure cinnamon. 



Measurements. 



Length of body, 10.7 mm. 12 mm. 



Length of pronotum, 12.5 " 13 " 



Greatest width of pronotum, 4.8 " 5.2 " 



Length of posterior femora, 6.5 " 7 " 



This curious genus and species is represented by a series of five males 

 and nine females, all of which are from Mount Coffee. Little variation 

 is exhibited by the series, a slight difference in the intensity of the 

 scabrous character of the pronotum being all that is noteworthy. I 

 take pleasure in dedicating this species to my friend Mr. Rolla P. 

 Currie, of the U. S. National Museum, who collected the types.
