Orphiilella neslecta u. sp. 



Type: one male; Orizaba, Vera Cruz, vi. 



Tliis form superficially bears somewhat of a resemblance to O. 

 pelidna, but it differs decidedly in the smaller size, comparatively 

 longer tegmina and hind femora, the angle of the face and the cell 

 structure of the ulnar area of the tegmina. 



Form rather slender. Fastigium acute-angulate, lateral carime moderately 

 prominent, interspace very slightly excavated, no trace of a median carina on 

 the head. Angle sharply retreating. Frontal costa rather narrow, constricted 

 at the apex, slightly expanding inferiorly, sulcate throughout its entire length, 

 deeply, except inferiorly. Eyes prominent, slightly longer than the infra-ocular 

 space. Antennse longer than the head and pronotum, slightly depressed basally, 

 apically bluntly acuminate. Pronotum with the three caringe well marked, the 

 lateral ones strongly divergent posteriorly. Transverse sulcus cutting the med- 

 ian carina behind the middle. Anterior border of the pronotum truncate; pos- 

 terior obtusely rounded. Lateral lobes rather shallow ; inferior posterior border 

 rectangulate, the lower margin obtuse-angulate centrally; metazona granulose. 

 Tegmina exceeding the hind femora, broadly rounded at the tip: ulnar area 

 occupied by an irregular series of cells, largest distally. Hind femora moderate : 

 tibisE armed with thirteen rather small spines. Cerci attenuate, the form of the 

 subgenital plate not being ascertainable. 



General body color blackish brown, becoming dull yellowish beneath, with a 

 dorsal stripe of greenish yellow. Ths general color passes from the full tint 

 through a wood-brown into the color of the under surface, the lower face being 

 reddish brown. The dorsal stripe is widest anteriorly, occupying the whole 

 width of the superior surface of the head and pronotum. Eyes olivaceous, with 

 blackish blotches. Antennae reddish brown, infuscated toward the tips. The 

 post ocular stripe is a pale olivaceous line on the head, on the pronotum blac^k, 

 crossing the lateral carina? at the transverse sulcus and appearing on the upper 

 surface. Tegmina, except the anal angle, uniform blackish brown. Anterior and 

 median pair of limbs red-brown, touched with blackish at the joints. Posterior 

 femora pale brownish, with a bar of pale yellowish below ; tibia; the same ground 

 color, with tiie spines very juile yellowish tijiped with black.
