Figure 157, t 



This medium-sized species, known only in the female sex, is recog- 

 nized by its uniform green coloration, without markings of any sort, 

 the rather long and slender ovipositor, and the triangular subgenital 

 plate with the apex produced into a narrow appendiculate process.

 tude 1,400-2,000 feet, August 1929 (D. C. Graham). Measurements 

 in millimeters : Body length 8.5 ; length to tip of ovipositor 17.0 ; length 

 to wing tips 20.5 ; length to tip of tegmina 19.5 ; pronotum 3.5 ; tegmen 

 17.8 ; ovipositor 9.5. U. S. N. M. No. 56300. 



Descnption. — Size medium and form typical of the genus. Head 

 broader than deep ; eyes subcircular and subglobular. Pronotum with 

 the foremargin gently convex; posterior margin hyberbolically 

 rounded ; lateral lobes broader than deep. Tegmina and wings reach- 

 ing far beyond the apices of the caudal femora but little beyond the 

 tip of the ovipositor. Leg spination as follows : Forelegs with fore- 

 femora unarmed ; foretibiae with four pairs of long infumate spines 

 beyond the tympana, the internal ones the largest. Middle legs with 

 mesofemora unarmed; mesotibiae wdth four external and three in- 

 ternal large spines and two rtinute apical pairs of spines. Caudal 

 femora unarmed; caudal tibiae w^ith 27 external and internal small 

 black dorsal teeth and 7 external and 3 internal apical small ventral 

 spines. Ovipositor long and practically straight, with only a slight 

 reflexion apically. Subgenital plate circularly rounded, with the 

 apical area extended into an appendiculate process as shown in figure 

 157, ;^. Pleurites of the ninth abdominal segment with posterior mar-
