interrupted, transverse bands of this color, (a slightly obscured 

 type of the normal color pattern for the genus, see p. 155, footnote 

 10). Pronotum with lateral margins transparent with a brownish 

 tinge; disk warm buff with picturing of minute lines of dresden 

 brown and dots of mummy brown; form of colored portion of 

 pronotum more noticeably octagonal than usual but with angles 

 blunted. Tegmina transparent tinged with brownish; the veins 

 pale, but the cross-veinlets dresden brown. Wings hyaline, with 

 a weak iridescence; veins and distal cross-veinlets weakly brown- 

 ish. Ventral surface of abdomen pinkish buff; d^, with a suf- 

 fused dark brown maculation at the apex of the caudal trochanter, 

 sometimes this is almost wholly absent (recessive), while rarely 

 it becomes a diffused band which is broad and heavy proximad, 

 but verj^ narrow and much broken distad (intensive) ; 9 , with 

 a suffused dark brown Ijlotch at the base of the caudal tro- 

 chanter. Limbs warm buff, sometimes with minute flecks of 

 brown at the bases of the heavier spines. 



Specimens Examined: 42; 25 males and 17 females.

Cariblatta aediculata^- new species (PI. XI, figs. 18 and 19; PI. XII, figs. 19 



and 20.) 



Individuals of the present species, though in general appear- 

 ance suggesting only unusually large examples of C. fossicauda, 

 may be readily separated by a number of excellent diagnostic 

 characters, as given under that species. The form of the male 

 subgenital plate and particularly its appendages, are distinctive.

 [Hebard Collection, Type No. 414.] 



Description of Type. — Size small, form but moderately slender, very much as 

 in C. imitans. Maxillary palpi slightly longer than in imitans, with fifth 

 (distal) joint slightly more than two-thirds as long as fourth joint.'^ Tegmina 

 with numerous cross-veinlets between discoidal sectors distinct in distal part 

 of sinistral tegmen and in portion of dextral tegmen concealed when at rest, 

 fully as decided as in imitans. Supra-anal plate very small, transverse, 

 weakly produced, with lateral margins weakly convex and with a very weak 



■*- In allusion to the niches (aediculao) formed by the distal margin of the 

 subgenital plate, in each of which are situated two appendages. 



" In several specimens of the present sjiecies liofore us, the maxillary palpi, 

 at least on one side, show varying degrees of deformity, the joints in such cases 

 being sometimes distinctly less elongate than is normal.
