BRAZILIAN ORTHOPTERA 
than the proximal antennal joint; medio-longitudinal sulcus not apparent on 
the face ventrad of the rostrum: antennae broken. Pronotum but faintly 
transverse, with the greatest caudal width equal to one and one-third times the 
median length of the same: greatest depth of the lateral lobes of the pronotum 
contained about twice in the greatest length of the same. Greatest width of 
the dorsal field of the tegmina contained three and two-thirds times in the 
greatest length of the tegmina, lateral margins of the dorsal fields of the closed 
tegmina very faintly arcuate: lateral field more regularly narrowing distad 
than in the male: mediastine vein with six strongly oblique, nearly straight 
rami; free veins of the lateral field four in nimiber; dorsal field with nine 
rather regularly disposed, oblique sectors, the median two of which are clearly 
derived from the ulnar vein, the distal four from the median vein, while the 
proximal three consist of the anal and two axillary veins: cross-veins rather 
numerous but frequently irregular, where evenly distributed the areolets are 
rhombic, an irregular reticulation of venules of less importance is also indi- 
cated, this passing into the usually more pronounced cross-veins. Wings very 
slightly surpassing the apices of the tegmina. Ovipositor slightly more than 
two-thirds as long as the caudal femora, strongly deplanate, relatively broad; 
dorsal valves with their apices very regularly narrowing to the bluntly rounded 
tip, surface obliquely striolate along the oblique external margins, which are in 
consequence microscopically crenulate, and with very fine similar sculpture, 
directed, however, in the reverse direction, along the internal margins; ventral 
valves with their apices having the external margins converging to shortly 
distad of the middle of the valves, there with a minute rectangulate shoulder, 
and thence distad subequal, the apex rounded and with extremely delicate, 
microscopical, marginal crenulations. Cerci in broken condition surpassing the 
wing tips. Caudal tibiae spined as in the male, except for the dorso-external 
margin on one limb having five major spines. 
General coloration of male light pinkish cinnamon, the tegmina cartridge 
buff: of the female vinaceous-cinnamon to light vinaceous-cinnamon. The 
maculations and color features which are ambisexual are the following. A fine 
punctulation, varying in its exact size and density, of blackish fuscous, present 
on the head, pronotum, limbs and abdomen. The solid markings or closely 
grouped sections of punctulations of this shade are: paired lateral double 
postocular bars, separated by a narrow dividing line of the general color, the 
bars weaker on the head and stronger on the jironotum, the exact outline of the 
bars poorly defined and subsinuate; a medio-longitudinal line on the cephalic 
two-thirds of the pronotum, laterad of which is a faint sublyrate pattern; 
caudal tibiae with a distinct jiregenicular semiannular j)atch on the dorsal and 
internal faces; antennae with distant, filiform annuli. Tegmina of male wfith 
the postanal section solid blackish fuscous; two blotches of the same dorsad 
of the base of the humeral trunk, the anal and accessory nodes marked with the 
same shade; two disto-costal and two proximo-sutural blotches surrounding 
the speculum, the former grouping much more decided than the latter; the 
discoidal vein in proximal half with checkings of blackish fuscous; obscure 
reticulation and rugulosityof the areas and areolets of the dorsal field frosted
