 margins of the segments, all segments multilineate ; supra-anal plate 

 similar to that of the male m form but more tectate.

Genus CALIDOMANTIS Rehn. 

 CALIDOMANTIS HOSIA.i new species. 



!r?/pe.— Female; Luebo, Kongo. (D.W.Snyder.) [Cat. No. 14606, 

 U.S.N.M]. 



Allied to C. hilttneri Giglio-Tos,- from western, central, and southern 

 Africa, but differing in the rotundato-subconoid eyes and the shorter 

 tegmina and wings. It is also related to minuta Giglio-Tos, from the 

 Cape of Good Hope, but it can readily be separated by the greater 

 size of the body and the granulate pronotum. 



Size rather small; form moderately elongate. Head large, the 

 greatest width nearly twice the greatest width of the pronotum, the 

 greatest depth of the head contained one and one-half times in the 

 greatest width of the same ; occipital outline arcuato- truncate between 

 the juxta-ocular sulci, the portion between the sulci and the eyes 

 distinctly arcuate declivent; ocelli small, placed in an arcuate line; 

 facial shield strongly transverse, the greatest depth contained over 

 three times in the width, dorsal margin narrowly truncate mesad, 

 moderately arcuato-emarginate laterad, lateral margins arcuate, ven- 

 tral margin subtruncate; antennse simple, equal to four-fifths the 

 length of the pronotum; eyes moderately prominent, broadly rotun- 

 dato-rectangulate dorso-laterad when viewed from the front, the 

 angle equally rounded when seen from above. Pronotum with the 

 greatest (supra-coxal) width contained about three and one-half times 

 in the length of the same, the collar much broader than the shaft 

 and but little narrower than the supra-coxal expansion; cephalic mar- 

 gin strongly rounded with a slight median truncation, lateral mar- 

 gins of collar subparallel, gently expanding to the arcuate but not 

 strongly marked supra-coxal lobes; shaft moderately and broadly 

 narrowed, slightly expanding cephalad and caudad; caudal margin 

 broadly truncate mesad, strongly arcuate laterad, entire lateral mar- 

 gins denticulate; a medio-longitudinal sulcus present for a distance
