strongly expanding caudad on the metazona; channel of the first sulcus dorsad 

 on the lateral lobes, where its termination occurs, brief but deep, margined 

 caudad with a conspicuous fleck of pale coloration; prozona distinctly inflated; 

 caudal margin of disk transverse, showing a feeble obtuse-angulate emargina- 

 tion mesad, the two halves thus formed feebly convex. Tegmina lateral oval 

 pads,^^ distinctly shorter than the pronotum, well separated. Genitalia as in 

 tenuipennis. Longitudinal marginal carinae of the caudal femora pronounced. 



Allotype. — 9 ; same data as type. [Hebard Collection.] 



Similar to the male type except in the following features. Size decidedly 

 larger, form very robust. All pronotal features intensified. The lateral cari- 

 nae of the disk of the pronotum show microscopic pits, which give them an 

 irregular roughened appearance; these carinae expand throughout their length, 

 so that the caudal width of the pronotal disk is decidedly greater than the 

 cephalic width, and very much more closely approximates the pronotal length 

 than in this sex of tenuipennis. Tegmina^'* separated by a greater interspace. 

 Ovipositor valves as in tenuipennis.

" Varying in the males from elongate oval to (rarely) broad oval. 

 1^ More variable in relative size and form than in males. 

 1* In this specimen the pronotal proportions are as found in tenuipennis, but 

 the individual is typical of phryneicus in all other respects.
