laterad, the prominent lateral vertical sulci cutting the occipital out- 

 line; ocelli disposed as in the male but much smaller; facial scutellum 

 shaped as in the male; antennce slender, subfiliform, not exceeding the 

 head and pronotum in length. Pronotum shaped very much as in the

 rounded, apex subrectangulate, sutural margin slightly arcuate in the 

 distal two-thirds, rather abruptly and obliquely curved on the proxunal 

 third; stigma distinct. Abdomen strongly depressed, expanded; 

 supra-anal plate broadly and roundly trigonal ; cerci slightly surpassing 

 the apex of the plate. Cephalic limbs very robust; coxse hardly 

 exceeding the pronotum in length, subquadrate in section; femora 

 slightly longer than the coxse. 



General color pale apple green; eyes pale walnut brown. Tegmen 

 with the stigma bistre. Wing brick red, the greater part of the 

 marginal section of the caudal area rich glossy blue black, the trans- 

 verse veins hyaline and touched with brick red.
