INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MIJNSTRUUS 67 



ocelli moderately large, the apical one situated on the anterior 

 aspect of the vertex on the extreme upper edge, the basal ones 

 separated from each other by a distance slightly less than the 

 width of one of them ; eyes moderate in size and prominence, 

 ovate, narrowing much below. Pronotum slightly transverse, 

 the disk marked by a central longitudinal depression which fails 

 to reach the posterior margin and expands posteriorly to form 

 an illy defined cross, or transverse furrow ; lateral lobes 

 rounded into the disk without indication of lateral carinse, the 

 lower margins ascending posteriorly and rounded. Abdomen 

 plump and, like the pronotum, marked with black splashes on 

 a yellowish background ; cerci long, about as long as the entire 

 body, basally heavy and beyond tapering to a fine filament ; ovi- 

 positor a little flattened and very long, decidedly longer than 

 the posterior femora. Organs of flight absent in the female, in 

 the male represented by abbreviated tegmina which are uni- 

 formly dark brown in color, slightly longer than the pronotum 

 and almost as broad as long, being nearly circular in shape and 

 with the dorsal field completely occupied by the well developed 

 tympanum ; the diagonal veins are three or four in number, 

 one or two more or less indistinct, and the speculum is divided 

 by one or two obscure veins ; the tegmina cover about one-half 

 of the abdomen. Legs moderately long and slender, conspicu- 

 ously banded with black and densely pilose ; all the femora and 

 the tibiae of the anterior and intermediate legs unarmed except 

 for the apical spines of the tibise ; anterior tibise with a small 

 oval foramin on the inner side only ; posterior tibise armed 

 above on the apical half with four pairs of long movable spines, 

 the longest slightly longer than the tibial depths, and a few scat- 

 tering teeth of small size ; the apical calcars of the posterior 

 tarsi are three on each side and very diverse in size, the three 

 outer ones moderate in size ; the middle one twice as long as 

 the upper one, which is a little shorter than the lower one ; the 

 two upper calcars of the outer side are large, densely pilose, 

 and one-half as long as the very elongated metatarsus, but the 

 ventral spur is minute ; posterior metatarsus armed above with 

 a few small stout black-pointed teeth and apically on each side 

 with a very long stout hairy calcar.
