obscurely annulate ochraceous and dull brown, occasionally washed with 

 rufescent. Rarely the fastigium, face and genae obscurely and rather minutely 

 mottled with greenish blue and rufescent. Pronotum with caudal margin of 

 disk obscurely and sparsely beaded with dark, rarely the vicinity of the humeral 

 shoulders is washed with rufescent; occasionally the disk is obscurely and 

 finely mottled with pale greenish. Tegmina with rather obscure markings of 

 bone browii, which are as a rule areolate, forming, however, three principal 

 groupings or broken transverse bands, one at proximal fourth, one mesad and 

 the third near the distal third; these bands are not at all complete, are irregular 

 in outline and more evident in the male sex than in the female; the distal one is 

 obsolete in several specimens and the distal section and the anal field are sup- 

 plied with a variable number of areolae of the darker color, these not strongly 

 contrasted. Wings with disk a beautiful chapman's blue, regularly paling 

 distad, the blue much less extended on anterior field than elsewhere; no wing- 

 band present; veins along costal margin, in the usual position of the spur, and 

 in the areas which are distad of the wing band in species so supplied, fuscous. 

 Limbs largely hoary white, clouded, subannulate and mottled to variable 

 degrees with weak dull blue-gray; carinae of caudal femora sparsely and 

 irregularly beaded with blackish brown; genicular arches of caudal femora 

 yellow ocher, bordered ventrad by a broad patch of dull fuscous: caudal 

 tibiae hoary white with a faint wash of pale Veronese green, proximad with 

 bluish gray cloudings; spines brownish distad, black tipped. Ovipositor jaws 

 tipped and margined with bone brown.

All of the material of this species which we have seen has 

 already been reported by Rehn and Hebard. We have at this 

 writing nothing further to add to the halntat information already 

 published. All of the nine specimens (two males, seven females) 

 previously reported are now before us and are, other than the 

 type and allotype, considered paratypes. 



We take great pleasure in dedicating this beautiful, interesting 

 and rare species to our colleague, Mr. Morgan Hebard, as a slight 

 token of appreciation of his excellent and indefatigable work in 

 the field and in the laboratory, and of a friendship of many years.
