rugosities, evenly widening from front to base, twice furrowed by the 

 two transverse sulci, which sever the lateral carinae, posterior margin 

 broadly rounded, the disc of the hind lobe showing traces of several 

 longitudinal rugae and blunt tubercles. Tegmina elongate, their apex 

 greatly passing the apex of the slender hind femora, their length 

 almost three and one-half times their greatest width. Legs elongate, 

 rather slender, the hind femora at their base only gently robust, few- 

 spined below, internally about six-spined, externally three- to four- 

 spined. Ovipositor rather slender, evenly tapering, and gently 

 falcate. Base of tegmina of female provided with a well defined 

 stridulating area, that on the right elytron thin, pallid, membranous 

 and free from veins; on the left heavy, dusky, and roughened. 



Length of body, 9, 45 mm.; of pronotum, lo mm.; of tegmina,

Genus Ancedopoda Karsch.

The members of this strictly African genus are very similar in gen- 

 eral appearance to those belonging to the typical genus Mecopoda, 

 which has a distribution extending to India, China, Japan, the Indo- 

 Malayan Archipelago, and many of the larger "South-Sea" islands. 

 The main difference between the species of the two genera is in the 

 rather slender basal portion of the hind femora of representatives of 

 this genus, when compared with the very robust basal portion of 

 these members in Mecopoda.
