60 INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 



body of the cercus and directed at a right angle to the main 

 body ; this appendage expands somewhat apically and is dorso- 

 apically deeply notched, forming a sort of open monkey-wrench 

 appearance and bearing toward the base a tubercle; this re- 

 markable cercus is hard to describe adequately and difficult to 

 figure properly, though the general structure and appearances 

 is shown with some accuracy at figure 22. 



( 2 ) . Very like the male. The ovipositor is decidedly longer 

 than the pronotum, gently curving upward apically, widest in 

 the apical fourth, sides smooth, the margins very finely serrate 

 in the apical half, more distinctly so apically.

One 9 , October 3, 1906. Iconnicofif. 



This single female is placed here with much doubt. It is 

 smaller than might be expected for this species. The measure- 

 ments are as follows : Length : pronotum, 3 mm. ; tegmina, 18 

 mm.; posterior femora, 14.5 mm.; ovipositor, 6 mm.; width, 

 pronotum posteriorly, 2 mm. ; tegmina mesially, 3 mm. ; ovi- 

 positor mesially, 1.5 mm. 

 Anaulacomera schunkei, new species. 



Description { $) . — Essentially as in cercialis except the struc- 

 ture of the cerci and even here the structure is of the same gen-
