MORGAN HEBARD III 



and has the caudal margin less conxex. the ])ronotum being re- 

 sultantly more transverse, with lateral angles distinctly caudad of a 

 median point between the cephalic and caudal extremities. Teg- 

 mina and wings absent. Form strongly patelliform, with lateral 

 margins of all the dorsal segments decidedly more produced than in 

 the male. Subgenital plate simple. 



Both sexes with limbs slender, but not elongate. Cephalic 

 femora with ventro-cephalic margin armed distad with a row of 

 minute chaetiform spines, terminated by a single minute but stout 

 distal spine; other ventral femoral margins unarmed. Median 

 and caudal femora with a minute but stout dorsal genicular spine. 

 Cephalic tibiae moderately elongate; all tibiae armed with small 

 spines. Tarsi very short, proximal four joints with ventral surfaces 

 fully occupied by large pulvilli, except proximal portion of meta- 

 tarsus. Large arolia present between tarsal claws. 

 Capucinella delicatula new species (Plate VI, figures 2 and 3.) 



This species is very distinctive. From a purely superficial 

 standpoint, the male resembles more closely males of Ilomalopteryx 

 lamiuata Brunner, than any other species at hand. 



Type. — 9 ; San Lorenzo, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Alag- 

 dalena, Colombia. Elevation, 7000 to 8300 feet. x'\ugust 23, 

 1913. (M. A. Carriker Jr.) [Hebard Collection, Type no. 516.] 



Size small, but larger than male. Form broad. Eyes strongly reduced, separated 

 by a very wide space, equalling four times the narrow occipital ocular width. Max- 

 illary palpi very short, fifth joint equal in length to third, slightly longer than fourth 

 joint. Antennae not three times as long aS head; first joint elongate cylindrical, 

 narrowing in proximal third, four times as long as greatest width; second joint 

 slightly narrower, slightly longer than wide; third joint distinctly narrower, twice 

 as long as wide; succeeding joints grading from shorter than wide to over twice as 

 long as wide distad. Tegmina and wings absent. 



Dorsal surface with a medio-longitudinal line which develojis into a very fine and 

 weak carina in the cucullate portion of the i)ronotum. Mesonotum, metanotum and 

 dorsal abdominal segments with latero-caudal angles slightly produced latero- 

 caudad and distinctly less than rectangulate, sixth dorsal abdominal segment and 

 supra-anal plate produced as far as the cereal apices. Cerci very small, lateral 

 margins entire, dorsal surface deplanate, ventral surface strongly convex proximad, 

 thence weakly convex in median portion distad. Supra-anal plate about one and 

 three-fifths times wider than long, lateral margins straight and moderately diverging 

 beyond cereal bases to broadly rounded latero-caudal angles, caudal margin straight,
