As indicated by the synoptic key, as well as by the specific name, 

 the present species is at once characterized by its black femoral spines. 

 Size medium, color above bright green. Head, legs, and underside 

 flavo-testaceous. Antennae long, ferruginous. Tarsi infuscated. 

 Pronotum rather closely and sharply granulose, wider than long, 

 somewhat saddle-shaped, the metanotum a little produced and ele- 

 vated, flattened, and with the hind margin roundly truncated. Teg- 

 mina considerably longer than the abdomen, the margins nearly 

 parallel, the extreme posterior margin infuscated. Branch of the 

 posterior radial arising near the middle, somewhat mixed with cross- 

 veins, so as to render its recognition more or less difficult, the posterior 

 radial terminating near the beginning of the apical third of the elytra. 

 Femoral genicular spines rather prominent. Anterior femora three- 

 spined, intermediate five-spined and posterior eight- to nine-spined 

 below; those on the anterior and middle pairs black-tipped, on hind 

 straight, slender, and rather long, entirely black. Middle tibiae 

 two-spined above. Male cerci long and somewhat sinuose, gently 

 tapering, provided with an inwardly directed spine at tip; the sub- 

 genital plate narrow, elongate, deeply and roundly fissured. 



Length of body, cf , 35 mm., of pronotum, 7.25 mm., of tegmina, 

 46 mm., width of tegmina about 1 1 mm., length of hind femora, 

 20.5 mm.

 in appearance.
