of the caudal limbs and most of the median and caudal limbs more 

 or less thickh^ and distinctly punctulate with vandyke brown. 

 Tegmina hyaline, proximal portion subopaque cream-bufT, obli([uely 

 (lelimitetl, embracing the concolorous stigma and all of the marginal 

 field; veins cream-buff, the longitudinal ones with regularly placed 

 sections of brown, varying from vandyke to seal brown, which at the 

 intersections of cross-veins color the latter to or nearly as far as the 

 spurious veins, the latter seal brown. Wings milky hyaline, slightly 

 buffy along the costal margin, principal veins cream-buff, tlic principal 

 veins of the discoidal field marked as on the tegmina, but in a 

 weaker, more irregular fashion. Cephalic coxae pale rose purple on 

 the internal face, ])roximal extremity narrowly dark broA\ni, the distal 

 margin of the general color, preceded by a small browni.sh spot; 

 cephalic femora weakly lined with brownish on the median keel of 

 tlie internal face. Tarsi with the joints tipped with ilark brown, the 

 metasterni with three to four maculations of the same. Prostemum 

 solidly blackish except for a short caudal unmarked section of the 

 general color; mesosternum and metasternum non-maculate.

Allied to G. lenticularis (Saussure), G. capitatus (Saussure), and 

 G. meridionalis form intermedins Werner from South and East 

 Africa, but differing from both the latter in the distinctly narrower 

 and proportionately much deeper head, in the somewhat more 

 arcuate vertex and more rounded eyes. From G. lenticularis, which 

 is apparently its closest ally, it can be separated b}'' the absence of 

 distinct protuberances on the vertex and by the less arcuate charac- 

 ter of the same. The form of the head in this species is quite dis- 

 tinctive, being distinctly narrower than deep. 



Size rather small; form slender and elongate, sHghtly depressed; 

 surface smooth. Head slightly but distinctly deeper than Ande, as 

 is usual in the genus, flexed so that its axis is horizontal, the exposed 

 dorsal portion of the occiput gently rounded with a pair of impressed
