BEAZILIAN ORTHOPTERA 
in the proximal two-thirds, l)ut arcuate towards the costal margin in the distal 
third, obtuse-angulate at the connecting nervure, the short remaining section 
of the vein directed towards the median vein, which latter is in general straight; 
stridulating vein broadly rectangulate-arciiate; axillary veins three in number; 
oblirpie veins three in number, one complete and two anastomosed with a 
sinuate accessory longitudinal nervure; diagonal vein straight, oblique; 
speculum crudely semi-elliptical in shape, obliquely straight delimited proximo- 
suturad, with a single transverse vein; postaxillary veins three in number, the 
median one slightly less distinct than the others and strongly sinuate, the 
sutural one of the postaxillary veins continuing around the speculum in a 
regular arcuation. Wings aborted. Cephalic femora slender; cephalic 
tibiae faintly exceeding the femora in length, slender, weakly expanded about 
the tympanum, which is elongate elliptical perforate on both faces. Caudal 
femur moderately robust; ai)preciably tapering distad: caudal tibiae faintly 
surpassing the femora in length: caudal metatarsi faintly more than twice 
as long as the dorso-internal distal spur of the tibiae. 
General color antimony yellow, the head strongly washed wdth vinaceous- 
rufous.®^ Surface of the pronotum with numerous points of rufous, the limbs 
rather thickly punctulate with prout’s brown, on the caudal femora disposed 
somewhat in the form of short, oblique dashes; caudal tibiae with the smaller 
spines chiefly and the larger spines apically fuscous. Eyes dresden brown: 
antennae in the intensive condition wdth the proximal joint inclined towards 
naples yellow, with the bullation bearing a longitudinal black figure, which 
resembles a reversed, robust exclamation mark, but the two sections are con- 
nected, mesad of which, at the very base, the segment bears a small black dot; 
second joint wdth a transverse, roughly L-shaped, black figure, external face 
w'ith a faint black dot; remaining antennal segments incompletely and nar- 
rowly annulate with fuscous, every twm to three segments with the annulation 
more pronomiced and more nearly complete: recessive condition (the type 
approaching this phase) with the proximal and second antennal joints less 
strongly marked, although the pattern is evident and the weaker, incomplete 
annuli of the remaining antennal segments are obsolete or subobsolete. Head 
with a pair of short, closely placed, postocular fuscous lines. 
Length of body, 7.3 mm.; length of pronotum, 1.5; greatest wudth of pro- 
notum, 1.6; length of tegmen, 7.2; greatest wudth of dorsal field of tegmen, 
3.5; length of caudal femur, 5. 
In addition to the type we have before us four paratypic males, 
two topotypic, and two from Misiones, Argentina (December; 
P. Jorgensen), all in the collection of the Academy. All of the 
males of the species examined are in poor condition, either 
broken or with the color altered, or both, so we are able to give 
no important comments on individual differences. No features 
The type is the only specimen seen having the head w'ashed as described 
above, which condition may be due to discoloration, but it is so uniform and 
regular it seems best to describe it.
