males, the former sparsely veined on the apical half, more closely so 

 on the basal half, without a well developed intercalary vein, the costal 

 margin full and broadly rounded on the basal three-fourths, con- 

 tracted beyond, and with the apex rounded as in Stenobothrus. Wings 

 without the fenestrate area of Toxopterus and allies. Top of the head 

 furnished with a percurrent longitudinal carina. Antenna? filiform, 

 rather long. Frontal costa sulcate and expanding below. Pronotum 

 rugoso-punctate, very gently divergent on the hind lobe, the two lobes 

 about equal in length; without definite lateral carina?, but with the 

 rugae tending to form several longitudinal parallel ridges both on the 

 disk and on the lateral lobes. Pinnae regular. Hind femora with the 

 apical portion graceful, passing the apex of the abdomen by the length 

 of the genicular portion, the lobes rather small but acuminate, the 

 superior carina terminating in a small triangular tooth. Hind tibiae 

 slender, 7-spined externally, 10-spined internally; internal spurs much 

 larger than the outer ones, but the former not very different in size. 

 The type of this genus is the species pulchra and is described herewith. 



47. Apolobamba pulchra sp. nov. 



This insect may at once be recognized by the conspicuously orange- 

 red color of the pectus, venter, and lower edge and sulcus of the hind 

 femora, the pallid tint of the lower portion of the lateral lobes of the 

 pronotum, and the pale anterior and middle legs. 



Head moderately large, a little wider than the front edge of the 

 pronotum; viewed in profile the front is rather oblique. Eyes small, 

 not prominent, straight in front, rounded behind, but little longer 

 than the anterior edge of the cheeks immediately below them. Vertex 

 rather wide, nearly equal to the short diameter of the eyes, rounded, 

 and provided with a well marked carina that reaches.from the fastigium 

 to the pronotum; fastigium provided with antero-lateral walls, which 

 meet in front at somewhat less than a right-angle; viewed from above 

 the foveolae represented only by a few coarse punctures on a partially 

 visible ridge of even width over the antennal fovese. Frontal costa 

 fairly prominent, its sides parallel to the ocellus, divergent below, 

 sulcate to the middle of the face, coarsely punctulate below, as is 

 also most of the face between the lateral carina;; these last straight 

 and gently divergent below, reaching and continuing upon the man- 

 dibles. Antenna? moderately robust, but filiform, about 20-jointed, 

 nearly one and one-half times the length of the head and pronotum
