I have only been able to examine a female specimen of this species, so am unable to 

 locate it sectionally in the genus. The following is Walker's description : — 



" Body brownish-tawny ; head a little narrower than the fore-chest ; black about the eyelets, adorned 

 with two black spots on each side ; face very convex, adorned with black bands on each side ; mouth 

 tawny with a black tip, reaching the hind-hips : feelers black : eyes prominent ; fore-chest broadest near the 

 base of the fore-wings ; scutcheon adorned with two black stripes ; hind-scutcheon tawny, slightly widened 

 and rounded near the base of each fore- wing, not notched but armed with a very small tooth on each side : 

 scutcheon of the middle-chest armed with five black stripes and with two black dots, the latter near the 

 hind border ; the outer pair of stripes are in front, the inner pair behind ; hind border very slightly 

 excavated ; abdomen obconical, a little longer than the chest ; opercula tawny, drums tawny, with broad 

 black bands, obconical, very large, slightly concave in the middle of the outer border, extending near to the 

 tip of the abdomen : legs tawny ; tips of the claws black ; tips of the four hinder-shanks black ; fore-thighs 

 armed with three teeth, one very small ; spines of the hind-shanks black ; fore-feet pitchy : wings tinged 

 with pale brown, which is most prevalent at the tips ; first and second cross veins clouded with dark- 

 brown ; veins black, tawny towards the base ; flaps brown towards the base. 



" Length of the body 15 lines ; of the wings 46 lines."

Body variable, either long or very short and convex. Head, including eyes, about equal in width 

 to anterior margin of mesonotum ; ocelli much farther apart from eyes than from each other ; face convex, 

 slightly prominent above. Pronotum with the lateral margins moderately ampliated and sinuated. 

 Anterior femora distinctly spined. Tymj^ana covered ; opercula short and transverse. Tegmina hyaline, 

 with the basal cell longer than broad ; apical areas eight ; interior ulnar area sometimes widened at apex. 



This genus is allied to Dunduhia and Cosmopsaltria, from both of which it is at once 

 distinguished by the short and transverse opercula. It is also divisable, as pointed out by
