apices close together; epiphallus essentially as illustrated fo: 

 humphreysii (fig. 63, e) . 



Coloration: General coloration olivaceous-green, marked witH 

 yellow and vermilion, shading to pale brown on apical third of 

 abdomen. Head gray, paler on mouth parts, a narrow postocular 

 yellow stripe ventrally edged with black on each side of vertex; i 

 eyes pale brown ; basal two antennal segments greenish ash ; basal I 

 half of flagellum vermilion, gradually darkening to brown at apex; ; 

 disk of prozona of pronotum brownish green, bordered by slightly ' 

 inbowed shiny yellow longitudinal stripes in the position of lat- ■ 

 eral carinae; lateral lobes of prozona shining black above, grad- ■ 

 ing to brownish green at ventral margins, marked with bright t 

 yellow as in plate 11, figure 2, plus a poorly developed additional 1 

 horizontal yellow bar through the posterior black area ; metazona i 

 olivaceous-green, posteriorly margined with pale green ; tegmen i 

 with blackish ground color, the veins pale yellow and duller near 

 costal margin in basal half; front and middle legs olivaceous, 

 paler beneath and on tarsi ; hind femur yellow, pinkish on genicu- 

 lar lobe, brown above and on dorsal half of pagina, dorsal carinae 

 blackish brown, ventral margin of pagina dark green ; hind tibiae 

 vermilion, tarsi pale pink, apical half of claws, spurs, and spines 

 black; abdomen varying from brownish green at base to pale 

 brown in apical third, a narrow pale brown mediolongitudinal 

 stripe inconspicuous ; supra-anal plate, cerci, and subgenital plate 

 tinged with pinkish. 



Measurements (length in millimeters) : Body, 25.5; pronotum, , 

 5 ; front femur, 4 ; hind femur, 12.5 ; tegmen, 4.3. Greatest width t 

 of pronotum (posterior, including lateral lobes in perspective from 

 above), 4.7. 



Female (allotype) . — General form more robust than in male ) 

 and face less retreating in lateral view, much as in illustrated I 

 specimen of humphreysii (pi. 11, fig. 1) but more elongate owing 

 to extension of abdominal segments. Cercus elongate, apically 

 very acute (fig. 58, b) ; ovipositor with dorsal valve scarcely 

 curved on dorsal margin in apical fourth (fig. 58, /) . 



Coloration : As in male, except that head and thorax are more 

 brownish than olivaceous-green, and yellow markings are less 

 bright. 



Measurements (length in millimeters) : Body, 32.5; pronotum, 

 6.7; front femur, 4.6; hind femur, 16.7; tegmen, 5.7. Greatest 

 width of pronotum, 6.7. 



There are 12 male paratypes, varying in pronotal length from 

 5.1 to 6 mm. and in body length from 24 to 26 mm. The largest 

 males are from Don Luis. No important variation of the cercus
