eral type. The subbasal inwardly directed projection is rela- 

 tively somewhat longer than in cercialis and considerably 

 broader apically, but of a similar shape; apically the cercus is 

 irregularly and considerably compressed, the tip divided into 

 two parts, the lower one triangular basally and cylindrical to- 

 ward the end, the apex rounded and ciliate. the whole directed 

 inward ; the upper branch is flattened vertically, not quite so 

 long as the lower one and the tip pointed or narrowly rounded, 

 the whole in nearly a line with the basal portion of the cercus ; 

 just basad of this apically broadened and forked portion of the 

 cercus there are a couple of acute tubercles, one above and one 

 beneath. 



( 9 ) . Similar to cercialis except the ovipositor is shorter and 

 not broadened toward the middle.

Anaulacomera longicercata, new species. 



Another species dift'erentiated from its allies by the char- 

 acters of the cerci of the male. 



Description ( $ ) . — In general appearance similar to the last. 

 Head with the sides of the front longitudinally and broadly de- 

 pressed, the margins somewhat abrupt, tending to make the 

 front laterally carinate ; fastigium of the vertex narrow, 

 scarcely more than one-half as broad as one of the basal an- 

 tennal segments, mesially constricted, the broader apex broadly 

 rounded, the whole narrowly sulcate dorsally and beneath 

 tapered and meeting the facial fastigium in a point. Pronotum
