79. Anonistus elongata sp. nov. 



In color and other general characters most closely related to A. 

 scops of Burmeister, but larger, and belonging in the section of the 

 genus in which the genicular lobes of the hind femora are obtuse, 

 instead of acuminate. 



Pronotum verrucose, in front above provided with a rather promi- 

 nent compressed blunt spine. Tegmina with the ground-color pale 

 greenish gray, rather narrow, tapering, the principal longitudinal 

 veins green, the transverse and some of the longitudinal veins narrowly 

 black-margined. All the legs closely fringed below with pale, long 

 hairs, above less closely with shorter hairs, gray, marmorate with 

 fuscous. Front cinereous; eyes shiny, ferruginous, mottled with 

 fuscous. Antennae annulated with fuscous. Anterior femora in- 

 ternally on apical half transversely dimly and closely fasciate with 

 fuscous; the intermediate pair along with their tibia largely irre- 

 gularly black marmorate. 



Length of body, cf , 28 mm., of pronotum, 8 mm., of tegmina 33 

 mm., of hind femora, 18 mm. 



Habitat. — Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (H. H. Smith). The type belongs

scariosa Burmeister. 

 bb. General color pale greenish-gray. Front cinereous. Pronotum verrucose 



or strongly rugulose elongata sp. nov.

Genus Lichenochrus Karsch.

 Pseudophyll., pp. 16, 125 (1895); S.\uss. & Pict., Biol. Cent.-Amer., Orth., I, 

 p. 409 (1898). 



This is a rather extensive genus of the Pseudophjllidae. Most of 

 the species are at home in tropical American countries.
