Type specimens. — Cotypes of Fontaria tennesseensis var. stricta, 

 Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris and USNM D-730;

Diagnosis. — A species of Boraria characterized by the color 

 pattern (dorsum black with lemon-yellow paranotal spots), by the 

 unbranched epicranial suture; by the distinct transverse rows of 

 metatergal tubercules; by the unspined coaxe; and by the hastately 

 lobed apex of the gonopod telopodite. 



Description. — Male from Mount Squires, Blount Co., Tenn. 

 Total length ca. 33.0 mm., greatest width 5.5 mm., W/L ratio 16.7%. 

 Body slender, parallel sided, the paranota set high on sides and 

 nearly horizontal, the dorsum thus appearing distinctly flattened. 



Head capsule, dorsum and sides of metatergites, distal half of 

 antennae dark gray to black; labrum tan; paranotal spots and tip of 

 epiproct bright yellow; sternites and bases of legs burnished brown; 

 legs tinged with black. 



Head of normal shape and proportions, the surface smooth and very 

 finely punctate. Epicranial suture distinct, shallow, not branched 

 in the interantennal isthmus; latter broad (1.1 mm.), about 16% 

 of the antennal length. Genae nearly flat, with pronounced broad 

 median depression. Antennal sockets not rimmed. Antennae long 

 (6.9 mm.) and slender, 1st article large, globose, with 4 long macrosetae 

 on the dorsal side, otherwise glabrous; 2nd article clavate, distinctly 

 geniculate at base, distally exceeding genal apex; articles 3-6 sub- 

 similar in size and shape, each cylindric, clavate, with sparse and 

 scattered erect setae and a subterminal whorl of 3 or 4 macrosetae; 

 7th article small, subconic, distally truncate, densely setose, with 

 sensory areas or fields; 4 small terminal sensory cones. 



CoUum large, convex, about as vnde as head across mandibles and 

 not as wide as 2nd segment, the entire front edge evenly curved, the 

 rear edge distinctly emarginate across dorsum, laterally bent forward 

 to the rounded ends of the collum. Surface smooth and polished;
