340 NEW TROPICAL AMERICAN ORTHOPTERA 



viewed from the dorsum, in basal outline subreniform-ovate, flattened cepha- 

 lad, their greatest depth nearly one and one-half times the length of the infra- 

 ocular sulcus: antennae one and three-fourths times as long as the dorsum of 

 the pronotum, not as strongh' depressed as in the male. 



Pronotum nearly plane dorsad: cephalic margin of disk truncate, caudal 

 margin of disk very faintly more rectangulate than in the male, the margins 

 distinctly sinuate: median carina obsolete on the prozona, distinct but low on 

 the metazona: lateral lobes of pronotum with the greatest depth faintly 

 greater than the greatest dorsal length. Tegmina projecting caudad of the 

 apices of the caudal femora a distance equal to one-half the dorsal length of 

 the pronotum, apex more rounded than in the mal?. Interspace between 

 the mesosternal lobes subquadrate, slightly narrower than the width of one of 

 the lobes, the latter squared with the angles narrowly rounded: interspace 

 between the metasternal lobes narrow. 



Ovipositor jaws compressed, produced, strongly arcuate and attenuate 

 distad. 



Cephalic and median femora not inflated. 



General color ranging from tawTiy to mummy brown, occasionally (in tj'pe 

 and allotj'pe) with dorsal surface of head and pronotum distinctly washed with 

 fuscous, decided post ocular bars of blackish occasionallj^ (in type alone) 

 present on the prozona of the lateral lobes of the pronotum and also weakly 

 indicated on the metazona of the same. Tegmina obscurely blotched to a 

 variable degree with small areas of fuscous, occasionally these are absent 

 id" paratj'pe): antennae antimonj' yellow, becoming buckthorn brown distad. 

 Caudal femora with dorsal surface obscurelj^ trimaculate with fuscous, occa- 

 sionally these are absent (cf paratype): ventral and internal surfaces of the 

 caudal femora dull carmine to acajou red in the male, mottled light brownish 

 olive to mottled chaetura black in the female: external face of the caudal 

 femora always paler than the general color, occasionally (cf paratype) washed 

 with pale rainette green: ventro-lateral carinae of caudal femora distinctly 

 ticked with the light and dark tones of the coloration: caudal tibiae ranging 

 from dull vinaceous-gray to vinaceous-slate, the spines cream-buff, with the 

 tips black. 



The paratypic male represents a recessive phase of the coloration with 

 almost no dark markings, the type and allotjT^e represent the strongly in- 

 tensive condition.
