102 BRAZILIAN DERMAPTERA AND ORTHOPTERA 



compressed and sub-rostrate, the distal margin truncate, faintly oblique, whcD 

 seen from the side, the disto-ventral angle thickened and bent inwards, that 

 region and the internal surface of the whole distal margin covered with sub- 

 imbricated, shagreenous denticulations; cerci about as long as the ninth dorsal 

 abdominal segment, simple, relatively thick, slightly inbent, tips blunt: 

 subgenital opercule short, transverse, regularly arcuate, non-emarginate. 

 Cephalic femora in length nearly equal to the combined length of the pronotum, 

 mesonotum and tegmina, slender, cephalic flexure moderately indicated, oc- 

 cupying about two-fifths of the femoral length, carinations low; cephalic 

 tibiae in length surpassing the femora by about two-thirds the length of the 

 pronotum. Median femora short, faintly shorter than the combined length of 

 the pronotum and mesonotum ; median tibiae subequal to the femora in length. 

 Caudal femora reaching to the distal portion of the third abdominal segment; 

 caudal tibiae subequal to the femora in length; caudal metatarsi about one- 

 third as long as the tibiae, subequal to the remainder of the tarsal joints united. 



General color mummy brown, becoming blackish fuscous on the prothorax 

 and head, on the venter of the abdomen largely russet. Head with the post-, 

 ocular region bearing a single median and five lateral pairs of regularly dis- 

 tributed fine lines of tawny-ohve, these represented on the pronotum by three 

 lines and lateral blotches cephalad; eyes dresden brown blotched with dark 

 chestnut brown; antennae blackish fuscous, the dorsal surface proximad 

 weakly tawny-olive. Mesonotum with the lateral carinae and the granulations 

 frosted with tawny-olive. Tegmina with the venation almost entirely Uned 

 with mignonette green, the spine blackish fuscous. Wings with the anterior 

 field crossed obliquely by a cloud of poorly-defined ecru-olive, the whole anterior 

 field with faint intimations of similar, but smaller, cloudings; posterior field 

 *of the wings infumate with bister. Abdomen with the dorsal surface clouded 

 with bister. Femora with the carinae more or less distinctly lined with ecru- 

 olive, the tibiae with but faint indications of the same; genicular extremities of 

 the femora narrowly bordered with the same. 



Length of body. 45.3 mm.: length of head, 3.o; length of pronotum, 2.7; 

 length of mesonotum, 5; length of tegmen, S; length of wing, 33; length of 

 cephalic femur, 13.2; length of median femur, 7; length of caudal femur, 11.8. 



The tj'pe is unique.
