as much so as in the majority of species of Anaplecta) oceliar 

 areas very feebly defined; oceliar spots very weak. Pronotum 

 convex, without trace of discal sulci or depressions. Tegmina 

 broad; costal margin convex to the rather sharply rounded apex: 

 discoidal sectors oblique (see plate II, fig. i). Wings broad; 

 medio-discoidal area with numerous transverse veinlets, but no 

 distal longitudinal veinlet. Male subgenital plate and appendages 

 'highly specialized (in some respects annectant between the gen- 

 eral character of the types found in Anaplecta and in Plectoptera) . 

 Female subgenital plate convex distad with a deep medio-longitu- 

 dinal linear cleft (not valvular as in Anaplecta or simple but 

 strongly truncate distad as in Plectoptera). 



Cephalic femora with ventro-cephalic margin armed with a long 

 row of closely set, short, microscopic, piliform spines, terminating 

 in two elongate distal spines, of which the more distal is slightly 

 the longer; ventro-caudal margin supplied with a few stiff elongate 

 hairs and (from none to two) elongate spines and distad with a 

 single elongate spine. Median and caudal femora with ventral 

 margins supplied with a few stiff" elongate hairs and (one to four, 

 the greater number always on the cephalic margin) elongate 

 spines, all with a single elongate distal spine. Caudal tarsi with 

 fourth joint alone supplied with and ventral surface fully occupied 

 by a large pulvillus. Tarsal claws asymmetrical. Arolia large. 



In addition to the genotype, we find flahellata (Saussure and 

 Zehntner) to be a member of the present genus.
