Cariblatta cuprea^' new species (PL XI, figs. 6 and 7; PL XII, fig. 10.) 



When compared with C. pundulata, the present species is 

 found to differ in the stouter form, different coloration and char- 

 acter of color pattern, and in the male subgenital plate in slight 

 differences of degree; in this last respect agreeing more nearly with 

 C. reticulosa, a species otherwise even more widely separated. In 

 general form, a decided resemblance is found to C. punctipennis, 

 but, as the male sex of that species is unknown, its exact position 

 can not be definitely determined. 



Type. — cf ; Stony Hill, St. Andrew Parish, Jamaica. October 

 25, 1913. (M. Hebard.) [Hebard Collection, Type No. 413.] 

 Description of Type. — Size small, form rather slender, appreciably more 

 robust than C. punctulaia. Maxillary palpi with third joint very elongate, 

 fourth joint shghtly shorter, fifth (distal) joint about two-thirds as long as 

 fourth. Tegmina wdth cross-veinlets between discoidal sectors numerous but 

 inconspicuous. Supra-anal plate very small, strongly transverse, very weakly 

 produced, with distal margin very broadly convex and very weakly angulato- 

 emarginate mesad. Subgenital plate moderately produced, laterad but little 

 raised; distal margin convex, very shghtly irregular, with scarcely any depres- 

 sion at styles, which are small rounded knobs distinctly wider than long, with 

 dorsal surface heavily clothed with minute close set chitinous spines; the por- 

 tion of the distal margin between these distinctly less than a third of the whole 

 and transverse.^2 Coloration distinctive. 



Allotype. — 9 ; same data as type. [Hebard Collection.] 



Description of Allotype. — Agrees with type except in following features. 

 Form very slightly more robust. Supra-anal plate very small, strongly trans- 

 verse, weakly produced, with distal margin broadly convex but showing a brief 

 but rather decided median concavity. Sul)genital plate large, scoop-shaped, 



^' In allusion to the general coloration of the insect, which is much more 

 coppery than in the other species of the genus. 



•■'- In one sjiecimen before us a slight convexity of this median j)orti()n of the 

 distal margin of the subgenital plate is apparent.
