female ; metasternal lobes separated by a very narrow space in both 

 sexes. Tegmina slightly exceeding the tips of the caudal femora, the 

 caudal margin with a distinct but rather small proximal dilation, apex 

 rotundato-truncate; intercalary vein distinct in the female, irregular in 

 the male. Abdomen moderately compressed ; subgenital plate of male 

 blunt. Caudal femora moderately robust, considerabh' dilated in the 

 proximal two-thirds, pagina rather deeply sculptvu-ed; caudal tibiae 

 somewhat shorter than the femora, lateral margins bearing ten or 

 eleven spines, arolia small, subtrigonal. 



General color of the male bistre, the anal area of the tegmina and the 

 dorsum of the pronotum burnt umber, the lateral angles of the pro- 

 notum ventrad and slightly mesad on the pronotum marked with black; 

 eyes walnut brown; ventral siu-face buffy becoming buff-yellow on 

 the abdomen; caudal femora ochre yellow becoming tawny, ochra- 

 ceous and raw umber distad, caudal tibise dull heliotrope purple, the 

 spines yellowish narrowly tipped with black. 



General color of female bistre becoming wood brown ventrad; dor- 

 sum of the head, pronotum and anal area of the tegmina pale apple

The types are the only specimens of this species which have been 

 examined. It is possible that the sexes here described do not repre- 

 sent the same species, and that my association of them is erroneous. 

 Several characters of the c? do not appear to be in accord with one's 

 ideas as to what the opposite sex of the ? type should be, but as neither 

 belongs to an old species of the genus I have thought best to associate 

 them, pending the acquisition of further material. In case the sexes 

 should prove to represent distinct species I would restrict the name 

 veteratoria to the 9 .

Allied to 0. pulchella, but a heavier species with the fastigiiun more
