ORTHOPTEROUS GROUP INSARAE 



notum gently arcuate-eroarginate, caudal margin of same weakly arcuate; 

 lateral lobes of pronotum more ample in area than in I. gemmicida, with 

 humeral sinus even more shallow, otherwise quite similar. Tegmina short, 

 rather broad, narrowing gradually distad, not reaching the extremities of 

 the caudal femora and rounded at the apex, the veinlets rather prominent; 

 in general contour and prominence of the veinlets the tegmina of this species 

 show a certain similarity to those of /. apache. Ovipositor longer than the 

 cephalic femur, deep, evenly and gently arcuate, the distal half of the dorsal 

 margin and distal portion of the ventral margin finely serrate; subgenital 

 plate triangular, broader than long, the lateral margins weakly convex, this 

 plate is more than usually flattened and can scarcely be said to embrace 

 the base of the ovipositor Limbs shorter and heavier than in clcgans, with 

 ventral margins of cephalic and median femora becoming sub-lamellate 

 distad, this character more pronounced in the cephalic femora. 



The male of the present species is unknown. 

 In addition to the type, three females bearing like data may be 

 considered paratypic.
