in the very short tegmina, which are in no case half as long as 

 the tegmina, and in the quadrate interspace between the raesoster- 

 nal lobes and excavated blunt tips to the cerci. Regarding the 

 latter Scudder says {antea, p. 115) " blunt-tipped," but the 

 figure (PI. VIII, fig. 7) gives no idea of the character of the 

 apex as iound in the specimens here examined.

Eight specimens, 1 male, 4 females, 3 nymphs.

This species was originally described from the female alone, and 

 on comparing the description with my specimens it seems that they 

 are identical. In the general form of the subgenital plate the male 

 agrees with Podisma as restricted by Scudder,^ but in the caudal 

 extension of the pronotum it agrees with Eupodisma Scudder,'" 

 which has for ils type Podisma primnoa Fischer dc; Waldheim, 

 from Transbaicalia and the Amur region of eastern Siberia. 



As the male has never been described, a few notes on the al)- 

 dominal appendages may be of interest. 



Supra-anal plate obtuse-angulate at the apex, with a median 

 shallow sulcus which is centrally constricted. Cerci tapering in 

 the basal two-thirds, but apically expanded and excavated, the 

 terminal portion slightly depressed. Furcula rounded, scarcely 

 perceptible lobes. Subgenital plate very broad basally, with an 

 acuminate subapical process; margin circular, entire.
