the very brief tuberculiform styles subcontiguous at their bases. 

 Limbs of the slender type found in all of the species of the genus. 

 Cephalic coxae about half of the pronotal length, margins finely den- 

 ticulate; cephalic femora about two-thirds the length of the prono- 

 tum, the distal extremity considerably curved dorsad, external mar- 

 gin armed with five spines, of which the distal one is on the genicu- 

 lar lobe and very rudimentary in character; internal margin ^^'ith 

 twelve spines, alternating in size, except that the distal large spine 

 is preceded by three small ones; discoid al spines three in number* 

 the second slightly exceeding the apical tarsal claw in length; cepha- 

 lic tibioo (^^^tllOut apical claw) very slightty more than a fourtli of 

 the femoral length; external margin armed on the distal half with 

 four spines; internal margin mth nine spines; cephalic tarsi hardly 

 longer than the tibia^; metatarsus comprising two-thirds of the entire 

 tarsal length. Median and cephalic limbs very slender, the median 

 femora about three-fourths of the length of the caudal femora; 

 median and caudal tibite slightly shorter than their respective femora; 

 caudal metatarsi comprising about three-fourths of the entire tarsal 

 length. 



General colors prout's broA\Ti and ecru drab, one lined and washed 

 over the other. Head ^vith the face and the proximo-cephalic por- 

 tion of the eyes prout's brown finely punctulate with olive, remain- 

 der of eyes clear tawny-olive; facial shield and region immediately 

 ventrad of the insertion of the antennae nearly clear wood bro\\Ti. 

 Pronotum with a medio-longitudinal bar of ecru drab, slightly ex- 

 panded in the supra-coxal region and regularly expanding caudad 

 on the caudal half of the shaft, lateral portions of the shaft weakly 

 barred in a similar direction with the same color. Mesonotum and 

 metanotum vdih. paired lateral lines of prout's browTi, laterad of 

 which the color is ecru drab. Abdomen A\dth a distinct medio- 

 longitudinal bar of prout's brown. Limbs of the general colors 

 clouded vTiih. tawny-olive; dark punctulations and internal longi-

I have before me a female paratype,, which fully agrees \vith the
