Bruner: Tropical American Tettigonoidea. 303 



of which is l)identate; externally there is a similar, but smaller, lobe 

 and two or three spines. The anterior and middle femora are each 

 armed below on the front margin with three or four spines, the apical 

 one of which is larger and tooth-like. Hind tibia? simply spined. 

 Antennae distantly and narrowly fusco-annulate. Intermediate 

 abdominal segments above and at the sides each provided near their 

 hind margin with five prominent denticles. 



Judging from the small size of this nymph the insect when grown 

 must be smaller than is usually the case for the genus. Length of 

 body 9.5 mm., of hind femora, which are slender, 11.5 mm. 



I would suggest the name Dysonia lamellipes as a suitable name for 

 this insect. It is in the Carnegie Museum. 



Genus Uberaba gen. nov. 



The present genus is erected for an insect with a very short ovi- 

 positor, coming from Chapada, Brazil. By referring to the generic 

 synopsis it will be seen that it is most nearly related to Polichnodes 

 Giglio-Tos. 



Rather graceful, of medium or small stature, reminding one some- 

 what of the smaller species of Anaulacomera Stal, but differing from 

 members of that genus in a number of essential characters. 



9. Uberaba brevicauda sp. nov. 



Head of medium size, about as broad as the front edge of the pro- 

 notum, the sides parallel; fastigium of the vertex gently depressed, 

 acuminate, sulcate, its lateral margins strongly divergent behind and 

 continuing as rather blunt ridges well towards the eyes a little back 

 of their middle and opposite a prominent tooth-like spine; fastigium 

 of the front acuminate, separated from the fastigium of the vertex by 

 a considerable distance. Pronotum more or less adorned with small, 

 scattered, pale, dark-centered pimples, most numerous on the disc; 

 the latter flat behind and with the margin evenly rounded, gently 

 convex anteriorly, the front margin truncate, the lateral lobes roundly 

 inserted, about as long as high, the anterior margin straight, lower, and 

 posterior margins evenly rounded. Tegmina and wings fully de- 

 veloped; former coriaceous, the posterior border rounded, apex also 

 rounded, secondary veins rather coarse and irregular; radial veins 

 separated both basally and apically, contiguous mesially, the branch 

 of the posterior one arising from about its middle, the branch forking
