BRAZILIAN ORTHOPTERA 
defined rami toward the costal margin distad of the extremity of the mediastine 
vein; dorsal field areolate-reticulate with fair-sized interstices, oblique pseudo- 
sectors four ill number, distad of which are two strongly longitudinal sectors, 
which are rami of the median vein, and proximad of which is a closely placed 
series of three straight, oblique, analo-axillary veins. Wings projecting distad 
of the closed tegmina a distance almost equal to that of the head and pronotum 
combined. Cerci short, not more than twice as long as the subgenital plate, 
robust and tapering in the distal half, the apex rather abruptly tapered; distal 
half decurved: subgenital plate deplanate ventrad, non-sulcate, the lateral 
margins narrowing distad; apex of the plate rather sharply truncate. Limbs 
slender; third joint of all tarsi very slender. Cephalic tibiae imperforate on 
caudal face, with an elongate ovoid foramen on the cephalic face. Caudal 
femora quite slender, the greatest depth contained four and one-half times in 
the length of the same: caudal tibiae with five major spines, which are quite 
slender, on each dorsal margin distad; intercalated spinulations reading distad- 
3, 3, 0, 0, on each margin; external distal spurs very small; internal spur group 
with the dorsal one large, the intermediate but little more than one-half as 
long as the dorsal and the ventral one one-third as long as the dorsal one: 
caudal metatarsi short, dorsad armed with two spinulations on the external 
margin and one on the internal one; internal metatarsal spur about as long as 
the metatarsus. 
General coloration cinnamon-buff, brightening to light buff and pinkish 
buff as follows: narrow postocular line which is continued over the shoulder 
of the pronotum and proximal third of the humeral angle of the tegmina; four 
equally narrow, longitudinal, occipital lines on the head, the median pair con- 
nected cephalad; a pair of fine sigmoid lines obliquely crossing the eye and 
separated by a narrow fuscous division. Antennae with infrequent and rather 
weak annuli of fuscous, which are more numerous distad: ocelli pinkish buff; 
dorsal section of antennal scrobes and most of face blackish fuscous, except for 
a central trefoil figure on the face: genae washed with natal brown: palpi 
with the second, third and fourth segments lined on the external and internal 
faces with fuscous, distal joint with the same distad, a dorsal lining of buff on the 
third and fourth joints. Pronotum with dorsal surface, except lateral angles 
and paired impressed areas, washed with buckthorn brown, a medio-longi- 
tudinal line of blackish fuscous present; lateral lobes washed with natal 
brown, pubescence pale golden. Tegmina with the dorsal field having five 
distinct groups of blackish fuscous markings along the oblique “sectors,” 
other scattered points of the same color indicated, particularly distad, a dis- 
tinct, well-spaced beading of fuscous black along the median vein; vicinity of 
the proximal two-fifths of the. humeral vein continuously marked with fuscous 
black, costal margin with a faint ticking of fuscous distad. Abdomen with 
dorsum fuscous and a relatively broad medio-longitudinal bar on the center 
of the same color, this as wide distad as the truncate extremity of the sub- 
genital plate: cerci pale ochraceous buff with the distal extremity sharply 
fuscous. Cephalic femora, the greater portion of the cephalic tibiae and tarsi, 
the disto-ventral section of the median femora, much of the median tibiae and
