rounding into lateral lol)cs, tliose margins showing very weak and broad 

 concavity mcso-proximad, caudal margin forming an arc decidedly less than 

 a semicircle ; lateral lobes with cephalic margin liroadly convex to ventral 

 angle, which is Ijroadly rounded at slightly more than ninety degrees, caudal 

 margin with a shallow but distinct humeral sinus. Tegmina extending l)c- 

 j-ond apex of ovipositor, wings surpassing tiiese by slightly more than the 

 pronotal length. 



Supra-anal plate small and l)]unlly triangular, lilting into a rounded 

 emargination of the preceding tergite. Cerci simple, cylindrical, over four 

 times as long as greatest width. Ovipositor elongate, with proximal two- 

 fifths swollen, distal portion very weakly curved dorsad, with margins 

 unarmed ; dorsal valves acute at apex, ventral valves mitiutely notched at 

 apex, with immediate apex slightly thickened and decurved. Subgenital 

 plate with free margins convergent, broadly convex and very weakly oblique 

 to median section, where the plate is triangularly produced at slightly less 

 than ninety degrees, with apex rounded, this produced portion as long as 

 its Ijasal width. 



Femora and genicular lobes unarmed. Cephalic tibiae with tympanuin 

 apert on both faces, four pairs of decided ventral spines and a distal pair 

 of smaller spines. Median tibiae with ventral margins armed with (six) 

 cephalic and (five) caudal spines, which are small. Caudal tibiae with very 

 numerous, minute ventral and fewer, more slender, minute dorsal spines. 



General coloration, including the immaculate antennae, light turtle 

 green. Eyes cinnamon-brown. The lateral margins of the pronotal disk are 

 outlined in amber-yellow, these lines continued on the occiput to the eyes. 



Owing to the very delicate structure of this insect, specimens often 

 become greenish-yellow when drying. 



Length of body™ 13.2, 10. 7-13. 2; length of pronotum 4, 3.9-4; width of 

 pronotal disk 1.8, 1.8; length of tegmen 18.7, 18.8-19.8; width of tegmen 2.5, 

 2.6-2.8; length of caudal femur 10.8, 10.8-11.9; length of ovipositor 8.4, 

 9-9.7 mm. 



In addition to the type, six females from the same locality 

 taken hy Pemherton July 15, 1919, and by Swezey April 20, 1920, 

 and August 31, 1919. are designated ])aratypes. These specimens 

 are in the collection of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association 

 and in the 1 lebard Collection.
