228 BRAZILIAN ORTHOPTERA 



These specimens show a decided range of depth in the color 

 pattern, ahnost entirely in a recessive and intensive fashion, 

 while as shown above the size varies considerably. The median 

 vein of the tegmina frequently has one or the other of the forks 

 bifurcate, while the ulnar vein of the same shows appreciable 

 variation in the exact divergence of its branches. The number 

 of incomplete rami of the ulnar vein of the wing varies from as 

 few as five to as many as seven. The supra-anal plate of the 

 male is quite unique in its peculiar ventral unpaired process on 

 the dextral side. 

 Cariblatta" personata new species (Plate XIV, figs. 9 and 10.) 



Apparently nearest to C. fossicauda Hebard, from Trinidad. ^^^ 

 The female supra-anal plate is briefly cleft mesad, not briefly 

 and roundly emarginate as in C. aediculata Hebard, from Trini- 

 dad, ^^ or with a shallow emargination weakly indicated as in 

 fossicauda. Though one of the plain colored species of the genus, 

 the present species differs in having the general coloration a paler, 

 slightly more reddish brown, while the ventral surface of the 

 abdomen is distinctly marked with dark brown. It is the only 

 South American species of the genus which has the female sub- 

 genital plate distinctly marked mesad. With males the position 

 of the species and its peculiarities would be easier to indicate, 

 but its distinctness is evident with the female sex alone. 



Type. — 9 ; Ceara Mirim, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. (W. 

 W. Mann.) [Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., Type no. 5236.] 



Size as usual in the genus. Maxillary palpi with third joint moderately 

 elongate, fourth joint slightly shorter and tapering proximad, fifth (distal) 

 joint longer than the fourth and subequal in length to the third, inflated; inter- 

 space between the eyes very broad, very slightly greater than that between 

 the antennal scrobes and distinctly greater than that between the ocelli. Pro- 

 notuni of the form usual in the genus, greatest width caudad, the lateral mar- 

 gins obliquely arcuate, caudal margin truncato-arcuate, cephalic margin nar- 

 rowly rounded; lateral portions moderately declivent. Tegmina lanceolate, 

 somewhat surpassing the apex of the al)domen, apex of tegmina rounded; 

 marginal field reaching to the middle of the costal margin; humeral vein bear- 

 ing nine complete costal veins proximad of a fork, the costal arm of which 

 bears four additional costal veins; rami of the discoidal vein four in number, 

 sublongitudinal, ulnar vein carried a considerable distance distad along the 

 sutural margin of the tegmina; cross nervures between discoidal rami nu-
