of the genus: subgenital plate of medium length, narrowing distad, the apical 
margin rectangulate emarginate, the lateral angles produced, no styles present; 
the surface of the plate tricarinate. Limbs very slender and elongate, femora 
unarmed beneath, cephalic and median genicular lobes bispinose, caudal 
genicular lobes unispinose: caudal femora about five-sixths as long as the 
tegmina, for the genus moderately inflated proximad.

Differing from the description of the male sex in the features here specified. 
Lateral lobes of the pronotum faintly shorter in proportion to their depth, the 
latter contained one and one-half times in the greatest length of the same, caudal 
margin of lobes more flattened. Wings surpassing the apices of the tegmina by 
about one and one-half times the length of the pronotal disk. Abdominal 
segments of the more normal type, the penultimate segment with a faint median 
angular projection; supra-anal plate of the same general form as in the male, 
but without the greatly thickened margins; cerci of medium length, tapering, 
apices slender; ovipositor subequal in length to the dorsum of the head and 
pronotum, strongly arcuate, hardly bent proximad, slightly more than half 
of the dorsal margin and two-thirds of the ventral margin crenulato-dentate, 
surface of the valves distad with minute asperities; subgenital plate elongate 
trigonal, the apex weakly emarginate. 
All the specimens of this species which we have seen, excepting one, have 
been preserved in a liquid preservative, and in consequence have lost all their 
coloration aside from certain brownish markings. This single individual 
(Bonito, State of Pernambuco, Brazil) shows that the base color of the head, 
thorax, abdomen and limbs is antimony yellow, of the tegmina and exposed 
portion of the wings lettuce green. The brownish lines, which are auburn to 
baj', mark the lateral carinae of the pronotal disk, the angle of the anal-dis- 
coidal fields of the tegmina and the greater portion of the sutural margin, also 
extending cephalad to and across the eyes. The base color of the latter is 
slightly paler than the bars. The antennae are more or less infuscate.
