description. The receipt of an adult female, kindly presented by Mr. 

 C. H. T. Townsend, clears all uncertainty, and 1 take pleasure in 

 dedicating- the species to the collector of the type. 



Size rather large. Head transverse; frontal processes as long as the 

 interspace between the eyes, apical portions curved upward and acu- 

 minate; eyes subreniform when viewed laterally; facial shield trans- 

 verse, inferior margin subtruncate, superior margin obtuse-angulate 

 with a rounded projecting median lobe. Pronotum elongate, the shaft 

 trigonal in section; collar subequal; supracoxal lobes prominent sub- 

 angulate; shaft slightly expanded posteriorly, as a whole narrower 

 than the collar; median carina ver}" iine, but distinct on the shaft, 

 replaced on the collar by a slight sulcus; lateral margins denticulate, 

 stronger on the collar than elsewhere, almost absent on the posterior 

 portion of the shaft. Tegmina exceeding the abdomen in length; the 

 costal field abruptly rotundate-emarginate and absent in the apical 

 third. Abdomen depressed; posterior part of the lateral margins of 

 the segments bearing rotundate lobes. Anterior coxa3 about half the 

 length of the pronotum;* femora slightly more than half the length of 

 the pronotum, external margin supplied with four large spines, internal 

 margin with fifteen or sixteen spines rather regularly alternating large 

 and small, discoidal spines four in number; metatarsi slightly longer 

 than the remaining tarsal joints. Median and posterior femora with 

 the usual foliaceous lobes well developed and rounded. 



General color dull reddish brown, transversely barred with oclira- 

 ceous on the limbs. Tegmina opaque pea-green, washed with faint 

 yellowish, bearing two oblique transverse bars, as is customary in this 

 genus.
