blackish bar extending from the principal transverse sulcus dorsad 

 obliquely ventrad to the ventro-cephalic angle; of the female 

 with a dorsal cross imperfectly indicated by dull hazel on a 

 clove brown ground, lateral lobes reddish clay color with weak longi- 

 tudinal blotches of broccoli brown. Tegmina with the anal area 

 obsolete maculations in both sexes, those of the female more distinct 

 than those of the male, remainder with rather narrow rather regularly 

 disposed transverse bars of clove brown, which are weaker distad than 

 proximad in the female, but uniform in strength in the male. Limbs 

 cream buff marked with clove brown ; caudal femora cream ochra- 

 ceous-rufous dorsad in the male, not barred, in the female hazel with 

 four rather weak transverse bars of dull brown, carinse of the lateral 

 face dotted with blackish, the pattern of the pagina outline in brown- 

 ish; ventral face very dark verditer blue; caudal tibise ranging from 

 orange-vermilion (male) or Chinese orange (female) proximad to ma- 

 roon purple (male) or burnt carmine (female), spine blackish at the 

 tips. 



Measurements. 



<^ 2 



Length of body, 24.5 mm. 33 mm. 



Length of pronotum, 5.4 " 6.2 " 



Length of tegmen 23 '• 28.5 " 



Length of caudal femur, 18.3 " 21.3 " 



In addition to the types a paratypic series of five males (September 

 5 and 14, 1900) have been examined. Considerable color variation is 

 presented by this series, which is roughly divisible into three types; 

 one (a) with the dorsum of the pronotum unicolorous, which is repre- 

 sented by the type alone, another (h) wdth a rather pale median pro- 

 notal line flanked laterad by blackish, represented by three individuals, 

 and a third (c) wath a pronotal cross as in the 9 wdth the caudal margin 

 of the pronotum as pale as the cross, represented by two specimens. 

 The median pale line is distinctly carried to the tips of the tegmina 

 in one of type b, while the transverse tegminal bars are rather regular 

 and distinct, though not complete in some specimens ; a pale proximal 

 tegminal line is present in two individuals of type h. The dorsiun of 

 the caudal femora is distinctly barred in both of type c, and faintly in 

 one of type b, while the lateral face shows distinct oblique bars in several 

 specimens. The color of the caudal tibise in all males other than the 

 type is as in the ? type. A single 6^ specimen from Sapucay, Para- 

 guay (III 9.05; Foster, No. 195 part), in the Hebard Collection, is 

 referred to this species. It presents a rather different appearance
