the lateral lobes of the pronotum ; in the female the tegmina are small, overlap but 

 little and project beyond the posterior border of the pronotum scarcely more than 

 their length ; wings as long as and shaped similarly to the tegmina in the female ; in 

 the male they are nearly as long as the tegmina but shrunken and useless. Legs 

 short and moderately stout ; tarsi about half as long as the correspondixig tibise, the 

 basal segment equalling in length that of the second and third together, being a little 

 shorter than the terminal segment ; the fore tibise have one or two spines above on 

 the inner margin and below are armed with from one to three spines on each margin ; 

 middle tibise armed with two or three spines on each margin above and below with a 

 single one or rarely two, near the anterior margin towards the tip* posterior tibise 

 slightly expanding from the base to the tip, armed with from five to seven spines on 

 each margin above and unarmed beneath. Besides the spines each tibins is furnished 

 at the tip with large stout calcaria ; posterior femora but little swollen, scarcely fitted 

 for leaping, externally deeply sulcate near the lower margin. Abdomen large and 

 heavy, apically truncate, tapering very little. 



Professor Scudder has described the color of the living female as 

 follows : 



"Head above the antennge bronze black, longitudinally marked 

 with pallid luteous ; genge and face below the antennae pale lilac, ex- 

 cepting the clypeus and labrum, which are pale lemon yellow, the 

 whole marked with blackish ; palpi pallid, feebly infuscated, especially 

 the maxillary pair, in stripes and api-cal marginings, the extreme apex 

 of apical joint pallid ; basal joint of antennae pallid, with broad basal 

 and narrow subapical fuscous annuli, the remaining joints bronze black ; 

 eyes castaceous. 



Pronotum subcylindrical, subequal, very feebly constricted just in 

 advance of the middle, dull luteous with a nacreous sheen, the poste- 

 rior edge and lower margins of the lateral lobes flavous or flavescent, 

 the whole heavily and massively marked, especially in the constricted 

 region, with very dark glistening bronze green, the whole surface, 

 whether dark or light, sprinkled very sparsely and very inconspicuously 

 with luteous dots. Sternal parts of thorax luteous, more or less infus- 

 cated. Tegmina reduced to minute membranous testaceous pads, con- 

 cealed beneath the pronotum. Coxae and trochanters blackish fuscous ; 

 femora luteotestaceous, the whole apex and a broad longitudinal med- 

 ian band on the outer side subpiceous ; tibiae pallid luteous, with a 

 piceous stripe following the upper lateral spinigerous margins, heavier 

 in basal than in apical half; the spines pallid or luteous, tipped with 

 black, excepting the apical spines, which are almost wholly fuscous ; 

 tarsi very pale red beneath, pallid above, edged apically with fuscous. 



* Scudder says the intermediate tibiae are unarmed beneath.
