364 NEW TROPICAL AMERICAN ORTHOPTERA 



Cephalic femora about one and one-fourth times as long as the pronotal 

 disk, moderately inflated, tapering more decidedly distad, ventro-cephalic 

 margin with three distal spines, cephalic genicular lobe spiniferous, caudal one 

 subangulate but unarmed: cephalic tibiae slightly longer than the femora, 

 ventral margins with six spines, tympani conchate. Median femora slightly 

 longer than the cephalic femora, ventro-cephalic margins with four regularly 

 placed spines, both genicular lobes spiniferous, that of the caudal lobe larger 

 than that of the cephalic lobe: median tibiae faintly longer than the femora, 

 ventral margins armed with eight (cephalic) or six (caudal) spines. Caudal 

 femora equal to two and one-third times the length of the pronotal disk, ventral 

 margin nearly straight, dorsal outline strongly inflated and bullate in proximal 

 three-fifths, very slender distad, ventro-external margin with seven spines, 

 unarmed proximad, ventro-internal margin unarmed, genicular lobes spinif- 

 erous, the two subequal in length: caudal tibiae subequal in length to the 

 caudal femora, strongly spined on all margins, the ventral ones less strongly 

 and continuously so than the dorsal ones. 



General color of the dorsum and tegmina auburn to bay, the pleiu^a and ab- 

 domen brussels brown to auburn. 



Face, ventral surface of fastigium, cephalic portion of genae, two proximal 

 antennal joints, almost the entire cephalic femora and tibiae, distal portion 

 and entire ventral surface of median femora, large portion of median tibiae, 

 ventral surface and distal third of caudal femora and a genicular annulus on the 

 caudal tibiae, shining blackish. Eyes auburn, blotched with blackish; median 

 ocellus grenadine; antennae zinc orange becoming tawny distad, more or less 

 distinctly and closely multiannulate with blackish. 



Pronotum with base color of lateral lobes the same as that of dorsum, an 

 indistinct median dot of blackish and several pairs of spots of the same in the 

 usual position of the lateral angles, the entire pronotum with a fine cribrose 

 pattern of ochraceous-orange. Tegmina with the base color of the marginal" 

 field largely fuscous, of the anal field weakly so, elsewhere of the general color; 

 venation of the marginal and anal fields, and less decidedly or completely of the 

 discoidal field, mustard yellow to cream color, the principal longitudinal veins 

 becoming kaiser brown, ^yings distinctly infumate. 



Cephalic femora narrowly orange rufous proximad, the portion of the median 

 femora which is not black being similarly colored, while the pale portion of the 

 caudal femora is dull cadmium. Cephalic tibiae with the ventral margins 

 largely, the distal extremity and the tarsi entirely, baryta yellow to pale orange- 

 yellow: median tibiae similarly but less distinctly colored. Caudal tibiae 

 ranging from amber yellow to light dull green-yellow, the dorsal surface largely 

 fuscous, the bases of the spines and their vicinity largely fuscous; caudal tibiae 

 baryta yellow. 



Ovipositor sanford's browTi, the dorsal section of the abdomen appreciably 

 suffused with the same. 



Length of body (exclusive of ovipositor), 29 mm.; length of pronotum, 6.9; 

 greatest dorsal (caudal) width of pronotal disk, 4.1; length of tegmen, 40.5; 

 greatest width of tegmen, 6; length of caudal femur, 17.9; length of ovipositor, 

 18.6. 



The type is unique.
