'dorsad, thence of a uniform width to the clypeus, deeply silicate from 

 between the antennse to near the clypeus ; facial outline when viewed 

 from the lateral aspect slightly arcuate; eyes elliptical oval, distinctly 

 longer than the infraocular sulcus; antennae somewhat exceeding 

 the length of the head and pronotum together. Pronotum rounded 

 dorsad, hardly constricted, not tectate, disk of the metazona slightly 

 flattened; cephalic margin of the disk very slightly angulate with a 

 hardly appreciable median emargination, caudal margin of the disk 

 nearly rectangulate, the apex very broadly rounded, 

 median carina present but not high, cut by three 

 transverse sulci, prozona and metazona subequal in 

 length, the width of the metazona slightly greater 

 than its length, lateral angles not apparent on the 

 prozona, well rounded on the metazona; lateral lobes 

 considerably longer than deep, narrowing ventrad, 

 ventral margin truncate on the caudal half, obliquely 

 emarginate on the cephalic half. Tegmina exceeding 

 the apex of the abdomen by a distance about equal 

 to the length of the pronotum; costal margin con- 

 siderably arcuate in the distal third; apex broadlj^ 

 rounded. Prosternal spine stout, acute, very consid- 

 erably retrorse ; interspace between the mesosternal 

 lobes longitudinal, subcuneate, the interspace cephalad 

 being nearly as wide as the lobes; metasternal lobes 

 contiguous. Abdomen somewhat compressed ; cerci of 

 moderate length, the apex somewhat narrower than 

 the base, subtruncate; subgenital plate moderately produced, the 

 apex rather deeply divided. Caudal femora about reaching to the 

 apex of the abdomen, rather slender, medio-dorsal carina serrate, 

 paginse with the pattern distinctly but not very deeply impressed; 

 caudal tibise with the spines quite long, nine in number on the external 

 and eleven on the internal margins. 



General colors oil green, liver brown and salmon-buff. Head with 

 the face, an infraocular bar and the fastigium and occiput green, 

 remainder salmon-buff; a poorly defined medio-longitudinal occipital 

 pale band present, bordered laterad by poorly defined darker areas; 

 eyes burnt umber; antennae dull pinkish. Pronotum with the dorsum 

 green with a subequal median bar of vinaceous-rufous ; lateral lobes 

 vinaceous-pink with a broad oblique bar of green. Mesothoracic and 

 metathoracic epimera green, mesothoracic and metathoracic episterna 

 and ventral portions of the thorax pinkish. Tegmina with a costal
