62 INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 



with the lateral lobes about as long as high and rounded into 

 the disk without distinct lateral caringe except on the metazona 

 where they are more developed; humeral sinus very well de- 

 veloped. Anterior and intermediate tibiae armed above with a 

 small apical spine on the caudal margin only. The cerci are 

 conspicuous in length, are curved moderately inward and con- 

 siderably compressed, especially in the apical half ; this apical 

 compressed portion is deeply undulately dentate beneath to form 

 three rounded lobes, the terminal one forming the tip of the 

 cercus; at about the basal fifth of the cercus there are two 

 heavy inwardly directed projections situated one above the 

 other, the lower one rounded and apically sharp pointed, the 

 upper one situated a little basad of the lower one and about 

 twice as long and much depressed, the apex rounded ; the dor- 

 sal surface of the main body of the cercus has a couple of slight 

 undulations near the middle. 



( 9 ). Similar to the male but the fastigium of the vertex is 

 somewhat broader, being a little more than one-half as broad 

 as one of the basal segments of the antenna. The ovipositor 

 is a little longer than in the last species. 



The color is a uniform dull green ; the dorsal spines of the 

 hind tibiae are black in the male and reddish brown in the 

 female and the tympani of the male have the heavy veins some- 

 what infuscated.
