Paratype. — One male, same date as for the holotype. Measurements 

 in millimeters: Body length 7.0; pronotum 4.0; hindfemur 7.0. A 

 l)aratype deposited in the Tinkham collection. Coloration and fea- 

 tures similar to holotype. 



XIPHIDIOPSIS KWEICHOWENSIS, new species 



Figure 157, j 



This large, long-winged species is distinguished from other known 

 Chinese species of the genus by its size and by the straight, simple, 

 taperin,ir cerci. which are slightly incurved at the tip. The subgenital 

 plate is sharply ti-iangular with subapical styli, and the supraanal 

 plate bears a sharp bifurcate process. 



Holofype. — Male, Shih Men Kan, Kweichow Province, western 

 China, July 1934 (D. C. Graham). ^Measurements in millimeters: 

 Body length 13.0; length 25.0 to tip of tegmina ; pronotum 4.5; teg- 

 mina 20.8; hindfemur 11.7. The unique male is U.S.N.M. No. 56294. 



De!<cription. — Form typical of the genus. Coloration testaceous, in 

 life uniformly foliage green. Eyes kidney brown. Vertex about 

 one and one-half times the diameter of the eyes, which are circular 

 and subglobular. Fastigial cone small and bluntly rounded. Pro- 

 notum with the posterior margin angularly rounded. Lateral lobes 

 unusually deep, their depth about equal to the breadth of the prozona. 

 Leg spination as follows: Forelegs with forefemora unarmed; fore- 

 tibiae with five pairs of long spines. Middle legs with mesofemora 

 unarmed; mesotibiae with six })airs of spines, the four proximal large, 

 the two distal pairs small. Caudal femora unarmed on the inferior 

 keels; caudal tibiae with 28-31 external and 28-32 internal black 

 short teeth on the dorsal keels and 10 external and 3 internal apical 

 pale ventral spines. Male supraanal plate transversed by a pair of 

 median caudally projecting prongs, Avith their inner margins fused 

 for tAvo-thirds of their length, leaving the apical portions bifurcate. 

 Cerci straight, cylindrical, rapidly tapering from a heavy base to the 

 narrow slightly incurved apex, Subgenital plate triangular, w'ith an 

 acute apex below, subapical to which is a pair of minute styli, this 

 feature being unique in the males of the known Chinese species. Only 

 the unique male of this species is known. 



XIPHmiOPSIS PHYI.LOCERCA, new species 



Figure 157, f. A- 



A large and fully caudate species distinguished by the dark dorsum 

 of the pronotum and the genicular areas of the caudal femora. The 

 male cerci are peculiar in their leaflike form owing to the flanged 

 enlargements especially developed on the internal apical margin of 

 the cerci. The large size, dark dorsum of the pronotum and dark
