gently bowed outward at middle. Apex of pronotum only reaching 

 the tip of the hind femora. Wings not apparent or visible. Not- 

 withstanding the glabrous appearance of this insect, it nevertheless 

 has the surface of both the dorsum and lateral lobes of the pronotum 

 very coarsely rugulose or wrinkled. On the disc two of these rugee 

 assume the form of supplemental, but rather irregular, longitudinal 

 carina? on each side of the middle, accompanied by many independent 

 short and transverse carinse, some of which unite with the longitudinal 

 ones. Anterior margin of the pronotum both angulated and spined, 

 the latter extending forward over the occiput to the middle of the 

 eyes. Latter not prominent, sub-triangular in form, the front edge 

 longest, the ventro- and dorso-posterior sides rounded and of about 

 equal length. Occiput and summit of head somewhat, but not greatly, 

 raised above the upper portion of the eyes, provided with a deep wide 

 sulcus, which receives the pronotal spine from behind and the upper 

 and backwardly directed portion of the frontal costa from the front. 

 Frontal costa rather narrow and very narrowly sulcate; viewed from 

 the side nearly straight and not greatly produced in front of the eyes. 

 Antenna? missing. Anterior and middle legs slender; hind femora 

 fairly robust, but elongate, provided with the usual rugte, but these 

 are somewhat irregular, especially on the disc. Hind tibiae with the 

 lateral edges acute and provided with many regularly arranged, 

 rather acute, small spines. Labial palpi with two apical segments 

 flattened and ivory-white. Under side of body and tibiae piceous. 



Length of body, 9 , 14 mm.; of pronotum, 13 mm.; of hind femora, 

 8 mm. 



Habitat: The only specimen at hand, the type, comes from Oucatopi 

 Island, where it was taken by S. M. Klages in June, 1918. C. M. 

 Ace. No. 6178.

 figs. 10 and II (1913). 



A single female specimen of the genus Tettigidea, from the Rio 

 Japacani of eastern Bolivia, is referred here for the present at least. 

 It was taken by J. Steinbach in February, 1915. C. M. Ace. No. 5573. 



At first glance it seemed to be an immature individual of the fol- 

 lowing species, but this can hardly be the case, since it lacks the spine
