mesonotum and half of the pronotum, rather robust, strongly 

 carinate, the dorsal carinse with a few short spines on each but the 

 caudal with a greater number than the cepha- 

 lic, ventral margins with a series of strong 

 spines, 12 to 14 in number, in addition to which 

 is placed distad a very strong acute spine, the 

 genicular lobes are spiniform and the ventral tn^^gral'dTs^i^^.^'Lt- 

 face bears a median longitudinal series of 6 or 7 terai view of the apex 

 fine spines; median tibiae very slightly longer (NarraUiz J^)° "' ' "" " 

 than the femora, slightly curved proximad, 



all the margins spined but the ventrals with a much greater 

 number than the dorsals; metatarsi about equal to the remain- 

 ing tarsal joints, all more robust than in the cephalic limits. Caudal 

 femora reaching nearly to the apex of the fom-th abdominal segment, 

 dorsal margins with very few spines, ventral margins armed as the 

 median femora, the large distal spine and genicular lobes similar in 

 form, and the lateral series numbering 16 to 17 spines, the median 

 ventral series 9 to 10 in number; caudal tibise similar to the median in 

 •structure but longer; caudal metatarsi distinctly longer than the 

 remaining tarsal joints. 



Generla color ferruginous, pale on the head and distad on the abdo- 

 men, the greater portion of the mesothorax and the cephalic section of 

 the metathorax wood brown, the former washed with malachite green. 

 Antenna? blackish brown. Ventro-lateral margins of the median and 

 caudal femora dull oil green; spines tipped with black.

^ It appears from the Hterature on this genus that Brunner misinterpreted the 

 shape of the mesosternum and metasternum, and should have placed this genus, 

 in'his revision of the Pseudophyllinse, under 4 instead of 4^ of the Phyllomimi. 



^ Some doubt is attached to this locality.
