and cingulate, this strongest cephalad; caudal margin truncate, very feebly 

 convex; disk with two decided, blunt-conical protuberances latero-cephalad, 

 between which it is strongly impressed and scabrous, this area bounded near 

 the caudal margin of the pronotum by a broad and weakly raised ridge, which 

 connects latero-cephalad with the protuberances. Tegmina extending to apex 

 of abdomen, surfaces shining, showing under the microscope a close network of 

 raised veinlets, so close proximad as to give a punctulate appearance. Wings ex- 

 tending to apices of tegmina but showing atrophy and useless for actual flight. =i 

 Ventral margins of femora without heavy spines, excepting a single heavy but 

 greatly reduced distal spine on all but the caudal margin of the caudal femora, 

 the largest being on the ventro-caudal margins of the median femora. Ventro- 

 cephalic margin of cephalic femora with a distal row of chaetiform spines, 

 by their irregularity clearly showing reduction in extent. Median and caudal 

 femora with genicular spine heavy but greatly reduced, ventro-caudal margins 

 well supplied with hairs. Tarsi unarmed, ventral surface of caudal metatar- 

 sus in distal two-thirds with a linear pulvillus, which broadens out roundly 

 distad, succeeding three short joints each with ventral surface fully occupied 

 by a large rounded pulvillus. Tarsal claws with proximal portion decidedly 

 enlarged, arolia moderately developed. *-

Size slightly larger than male. Pronotum less strongly specialized in con- 

 tour, the cephaUc and lateral margins about equally heavily cingulate but not 

 sublamellate," the disk with latero-cephalic protuberances represented bj' very 

 blunt sub-conical ridges, the median portion less strongly impressed. Tegmina 

 and wings similar, but reaching only to base of supra-anal plate. Supra-anal 

 plate chitinous, sub-bilobate in outUne, dorsal surface weakly concave. Cerci 

 short, not surpassing supra-anal plate, entire, rounding sharply to blunt apex. 

 Subgenital plate very broad, scoop-shaped.

Head black, a large, transverse oval marking of light ochraceous-buff occupy- 

 ing the interocular area; ocelli buffy, in the male this color is continued to the 

 margin of the eye; clypeal suture broadly buffy. Antennae unicolorous, black. 

 Pronotum ochraccous-buff, the areas occupied by the two latero-cephalic pro- 

 jections black with outline of these large blotches irregular, impressed area 



*i The supra-anal and subgenital plates are missing. 



^2 A large portion of the species of the genus Hormetica are strikingly marked. 

 For the separation of these, color characters have been almost exclusively used, 

 these showing many excellent diagnostic features.
