135. Abila smaragdipes sp. no v. 



Size medium, the form somewhat slender. General color above 

 brunneo-ferrugionus, face and lower half of sides of pronoturn pallid, 

 the underside testaceous; wings transparent smoky orange-red. Legs 

 oil-green, the tarsi and genicular area of hind pair ferruginous. 

 Antennae linear, black. 



Head large and prominent, plainly wider than, and considerably 

 ascending above the dorsum of the pronoturn, occiput transversely 

 rugose; eyes prominent, nearly twice as long as the cheeks below them. 

 Vertex about twice the width of the basal antennal joint, separated 

 from the fastigium by a transverse depression and an inconspicuous 

 elevation, the fastigium short, shallowly silicate, and strongly de- 

 pressed, the sulcation almost confluent with the shallowly sulcate 

 frontal costa. Latter continued to the base of the clypeus and with 

 its sides but slightly divergent anteriorly; lateral or facial carinas 

 fairly prominent., rather strongly divergent below. Antennae linear, 

 longer than the head and pronoturn combined. Pronoturn rather 

 closely punctulate and irregularly rugulose anteriorly and posteriorly, 

 subcylindrical, gently and roundly constricted at middle, without 

 lateral carinae, the median weak; the transverse sulci inconspicuous, 

 but the last and middle ones continuous nearly to the lower margins 

 of the lateral lobes; anterior margin a little sinuose, hind margin 

 rounded. Tegmina of moderate width, extending beyond the abdo- 

 men and apex of femora in both sexes, their basal portion more or less 

 coriaceous and very closely and irregularly veined, beyond submem- 

 branous and less closely veined, the apex obliquely truncated. Hind 

 femora long and slender, considerably surpassing the tip of the abdo- 

 men in both sexes, the genicular lobes acuminate, superior carina? some- 

 what serrated and terminating in a minute spine. Hind tibia? a little 

 enlarged apically, nine-spined externally, and ten-spined internally.
