length, nearly two-thirds the length of the tegmen, moderately depressed 

 proximad and very slightly dilated. Pronotiim moderately rounded 

 but with a perceptible dorsal flattening; cephalic margin slightly 

 arcuate, caudal margin broadly obtuse-angulate with the angle 

 rounded, no lateral carinse present, but a moderate shoulder developed 

 on the metazona; greatest caudal width contained about one and two- 

 thirds in the length, metazona regularly and closely, but not deeply, 

 punctate; three distinct transverse sulci present on the dorsum, the 

 caudal only intersecting the median carina, which is distinct and regular ; 

 lateral lobes with the dorsal length very considerably greater than the 

 depth, ventral margin sinuato-angulate. Interspace between the 

 mesosternal lobes slightly longitudinal ; interspace between the meta- 

 sternal lobes hardly narrower than between the mesosternal lobes, 

 pentagonal. Tegmina very slightly exceeding the apex of the abdo- 

 men, but falling considerably short of the caudal femora; marginal 

 field with a very slight proximal dilation, apex rather narrowly rounded, 

 no intercalary vein present. Wings ample. Abdomen consider- 

 ably compressed. Caudal femora considerably inflated proximad, the 

 distal section quite slender, pattern of the pagina very distinct, regu- 

 lar; caudal tibiae very slightly shorter than the femora, gently sinuate, 

 the external margins with eleven or twelve spines, 

 internal spurs slightly unequal; tarsi with tlistinct, 

 rounded arolia. 



General color apple green, becoming more oil 

 green on the caudal femora. Two broad lines, 



one on each side, of vandyke brown start from 



the margins of the fastigium, cross the dorsum 



of the eyes, extend over the pronotum, and on 



the tegmina broaden out and occupy the entire 



discoidal and all except the proximal portion of the 



marginal fields. On the head the color of these bars 



is decidedly blackish brown, about true vandyke 



brown on the pronotum, becoming dilute and 



fainter as the stripe broadens on the tegmina, 



while along the ventral margins of these bars the 



green is touched with yellowish, while the light 



proximal section of the marginal field is cream 



color. Antennse vandyke brown with the proxi- 

 mal joint green; eyes tawny-olive and bistre mot- 

 tled; caudal femora with the genicular regions 



laterad and ventrad black, the pagina with a dorsal longitudinal bar of 



rhedus glaucipes
