Female. Body stout. Head large, nearly as broad as the fore border 

 of the proihorax; keel of the vertex conical, notched in front, as broad as 

 the lirst joint of the antennae ; front flat, transversely and minutely striated ; 

 labrnm subcordilbrm. Eyes small, round, very prominent. Third joint of 

 the maxillary palpi broader than the fourth and about twice its length, 

 rejecting a little lanceolate appendage from its base; fifth subclavale, more 

 than twice the length of the fourth. Antennae slender, very much longer 

 than the bofiy ; first and second joints stout; socket of the first with an 

 elevated border. Proihorax slightly rugulose, with an impressed longi- 

 tudinal line and with two strongly impressed transverse lines; two obtuse 

 spines on each side in front, one much larger than the other; fore border 

 rounded; sides nearly straight; hind border elevated, hardly rounded. 

 Prosternura with two long stout perpendicular spines. Mesosternum and 

 metasternum notched on the hind border, or forming a lobe on each side. 

 Cerci lanceolate, very long. Oviduct straight, as long as the abdomen. 

 Legs long, thick; four anterior femora with a few minute spines; hind 

 femora full four-ninths of the length of the fore wings, and like the four 

 anterior tibiae with two rows of small spines beneath ; hind tibiae with a row 

 of rather small spines on each of the four keels ; third joint of the tarsi with 

 much larger foliaceous appendages than those of the other joints. Fore 

 wings broad, much rounded and hardly narrower at the tips; costa slightly 

 rounded ; interior border straight ; space between the costa and the scapular 

 with many irregular areolets towards the base, and in the exterior part with 

 one row of oblique transverse veins, some of which are forked; scapular 

 and externo-medial diverging from each other beyond the middle and 

 including some areolets of various shape ; areolets in the hinder part with 

 the usual number of rows, mostly narrow, of regular form ; externo-medial 

 vein emitting two oblique branches ; interno-medial vein emitting five 

 oblique branches beyond the middle. Hind wings very broad, rather 

 shorter than the fore wings, much rounded at the tips, slightly notched at 

 the end of the discoidal fold; apical space minutely reticulated. 



This genus in some characters is more allied to the PliyllopteridcE than 

 to the PseudophyllidcB.
