composed of six segments increasing in lengtii, the tei'minal one 

 almost half again as long as its predecessor, the whole bearing an 

 obsolete median ridge. Subgenilal plate compressed, deeply 

 folded, the central inclosure very narrow; styles moderately long, 

 subspatuiate. Anterior limbs very slight and weak; the coxce and 

 femora being about the same length and bulk, the outer margin of 

 the latter bearing four very minute spines, discoidal spines num- 

 bering three; tibice not half as long as the femora, the margin not 

 dentate ; metatarsi about as long as the tibia?. Median and pos- 

 terior pairs of limbs very long and slender; the median femora 

 each bearing two genicular spines; tibiae longer than the femora. 

 General color pinkish brown, the limbs touched with dull brown- 

 ish; eyes testaceous; lower surface of the pronotum suffused with 

 dull reddish ; elytra decidedly pinkish at base; anterior femora 

 with a line of reddish black on the lower margin.

Type, one immature female; Sheikh Husein, Gallaland, Septem-

Closely allied to T. trlgoncdis Saussure'" from South Africa, but 

 differing in the shape of the pronotum. The pronotum of trigonalis 

 is described as having " parte antice lata ac late rotundata, .... 

 marginibus baud dentatus;" while in the specimen before me the 

 pronotum is somewhat produced antei'iorly, the margin being very 

 narrowly rounded. 



Size medium. Head from the facial aspect about equally long 

 and broad; occiput subtruncate; eyes subfusiform, liltle attenuate 

 superiorly. Pronotum about two-thirds as broad as long, cen- 

 trally with moderate dilations, the borders crenula-dentate ; ante- 

 rior section diminishing in width, the margin narro wly rounded ;
