duced, the subgenital plate with the apical cleft not quite reaching to 

 the middle of the plate, cerci as long as the supra-anal plate. Cephalic 

 coxa3 slightly shorter than the pronotum in both sexes ; femora about 

 equal to the pronotum in length, particularly robust in the female, 

 caudal margin with five, cephalic with ten to eleven spines in both 

 sexes, largest discoidal spine rather heavy; cephalic tibiae not quite 

 two-thirds the length of the femora, margins with nine to ten spines; 

 tarsi with the proximal joint about equal to the tibia in length. 

 Median and caudal limbs rather slender. 



General color of the male buff with a wash of clay color on the 

 abdomen and the head with russet; of the female clove brown, the 

 median carina of the pronotum and maculations and imperfect annula- 

 tions on the limbs pale ecru drab. Tegmina in both sexes with their 

 ventral surface near the distal margin with a transverse blackish 

 maculation. Face with an obscure transverse blackish median bar 

 in the female. 



Measurements. 



Length of body, 22 mm. 26.2 mm. 



Length of pronotum, 5 " 6.5" 



Greatest width of pronotum, 2.2" 3.2" 



Length of tegmen, 5.5 " 7 



Length of cephalic femur, 4.5 " 6 



In addition to the types a paratypic series of one male, three females 

 and one immature individual have also been examined. The second 

 male agrees fully with the type in the shape and structure of the 

 tegmina, and the females differ only in the depth of the general colora- 

 tion. 



I take pleasure in dedicating this species to its collector, whose 

 kindly advice and sympathetic interest has been of the greatest assist- 

 ance to the author.

These specimens are typical with the exception of the female from
