A NEW CHLOEALTIS (aCRIDINAe) 



Figures 2 and 3. ChloeaUis 

 aspasma new species. Dorsal 

 outlines of head and pronotum 

 of male allotype (fig. 2) and 

 female type (fig. 3). (X 4) 



mediate angle entire and not markedly rounded; lateral carina of pronotal disk 

 distinct, in general arcuate, appreciably converging caudad to slightly before 



the middle of the pronotum, thence di- 

 verging at about the same angle to the 

 caudal pronotal margin, when seen from 

 the side the lateral carina is apprecia- 

 bly bent-arcuate dorsad, the least wddth of 

 the pronotal disk is equal to slightly 

 more than three-fourths that of the 

 cephalic margin of the same; median carina 

 decided, straight when seen in profile; 

 transverse sulcus intersecting the median 

 and lateral carinae faintly caudad of the 

 middle of the disk: lateral lobes of the 

 pronotum slightly longer than deep, 

 cephalic margin faintly sinuate, ventro- 

 cephahc angle rounded obtuse-angulate, 

 ventral margin strongly sin uate-emarginate 

 cephalad, straight caudad, ventro-caudal 

 angle rounded rectangulate, caudal mar- 

 gin moderately obhque, faintlj' sinuate. 

 Tegmina equal in length to that of the head and pronotum combined, falling 

 considerably short of the apex of the abdomen, in form elongate lanceolate, 

 the greatest width, which is faintly proximad of the middle, contained two 

 and three-fifths times in the greatest length, apex narrowly rounded: mar- 

 ginal field moderately expanded, regularly narromng distad from point of 

 greatest width of tegmen, the costal margin rounded obtuse-angulate at point 

 of greatest width: venation well indicated. Wings greatly reduced. 



Mesosternum with interspace subquadrate, weakly transverse, slightly 

 widening caudad, caudo-internal angles of mesosternal lobes broadly rounded: 

 metasternum with interspace moderately transverse, about two-thirds as A\-ide 

 as the mesosternal interspace. Abdomen distinctly compressed, with a 

 prominent medio-longitudinal carina dorsad and a similar but less decided one 

 ventrad: supra-anal plate elongate semi-elliptical in marginal outhne, the 

 apex weakly angulate, in transverse section the i)late is arcuate, with a trans- 

 verse depressed section, poorly defined, mesad: cerci short, styliform: dorsal 

 ovipositor jaws short, deep, robust, of the general type foimd in the other 

 species of the genus, the apices strongly recurved, the dorsal surface deeply 

 concavo-excavate, main external marginal cusp rather low, long, compressed, 

 the margin of the same as a whole entire but with very minute serrulations 

 evident under medium magnification, basal cusp decided, subpyramidical, 

 transverse, its margin finely serrulate; ventral ovipositor jaws moderately 

 compressed, apices little decurved, ventral marginal tooth rectangulate at apex. 

 Cephalic and median limbs relatively slender. Caudal femora moderately 

 slender, the length three times as long as the dorsum of the pronotum, greatest 

 depth contained nearly four and one-half times in greatest length of same: 

 caudal tibiae slightly shorter than the caudal femora, external margin with 

 eleven to twelve s])inos, internal margin with twelve spines; internal calcaria 

 moderately unetiual, the dorsal the shorter.
