98. Copiocera collaris sp. nov. 



A decidedly smaller species than those heretofore described. Bright 

 olive-green with a conspicuous large orange-red patch on each side 

 of the pronotum and a similar tint on the veins of the costal area of 

 the tegmina. 



Head moderately large, smooth, its length nearly that of the 

 pronotum, and its width a little greater than the anterior width of the 

 pronotum; eyes quite prominent, but not large, separated above by a 

 space a little wider than the frontal costa between the antenna?; 

 the fastigium a little depressed, about as long as wide, and bounded 

 antero-laterally by a well-marked carina; ocelli conspicuous, flame- 

 red. Antennae dusky, filiform, fully as long as the hind femora, 

 their last four or five joints pallid. Frontal costa fairly prominent 

 between the antenna', fading below the ocellus, where it is present only 

 as a tumid ridge which widens rapidly towards the clypeus. Lateral 

 or facial carina? quite prominent, gently sinuose above and strongly 

 divergent below. Pronotum fairly strongly rugoso-punctate, sub- 

 cylindrical, the hind lobe only gently divergent posteriorly, the trans- 

 verse sulci prominent, continuous, the last decidedly back of the 

 middle, the anterior edge rather broadly margined, roundly and 

 broadly advanced upon the occiput, hind margin subangulate, the 

 median carina present only on the hind lobe, where it is quite plain on 

 the flattened disk. Tegmina and wings long and narrow, the apex of 

 the former subacuminate. Anterior and middle legs slender; hind 

 femora moderately robust, evenly tapering, the tibiae much shorter 

 than the femora, and only fixe- or >ix-spined externally. Valves of 

 the ovipositor hirsute, cylindrical, and fingerdike, the lower pair the 

 longer and larger, straight, the upper ones slender and curved down- 

 ward between the basal part of the upper ones. Prosternal spine 

 strongly transverse, its apex arcuate, entire. 



Color of insect prevailingly pale olive-green, marked with reddish 

 on the pronotum and tegmina as indicated above. Abdomen without 

 reddish markings at sides or above, but becoming darker in the dorsal 

 area. Hind femora, including the genae, uniformly greenish; hind tibia
