525 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. XXII, 



Pronotutn very strongly convex, its anterior border convex, 

 the posterior one rather strongly convex in the middle, almost 

 straight laterally: lateral lobes very high, their inferior margin 

 rather regularly rounded, anterior and posterior angles obtuse, 

 rounded. Coloration rufo-testaceous with interrupted brown 

 spots, forming a narrow band along the anterior and posterior 

 margins and a large median, irregular fascia. Meso- and meta- 

 notum similar to pronotum, the former with posterior margin sub- 

 angulate in the middle, very strongly concave laterally, lateral 

 lobes rather high, with inferior border weakly convex, the latter 

 with its posterior margin almost straight, lateral lobes widely 

 rounded. 



Abdomen rufous above with a few irregular brown spots 

 along the median line and near the posterior margin of each 

 tergite; these margins are regularly convex to the 5th, 6th some- 

 what angular in the middle, 7th weakly projecting above the 8th 

 and gth, which are very short ; anal valves triangular, aciite at 

 apex, the superior one very small, and pressed between the infe- 

 rior ones which are somewhat projecting at apex. Subgenital 

 plate yellowish, large enough, fiat, presenting 2 small basal lobes, 

 narrowing towards the apex which is rounded, feebly incised in 

 the middle. 



Cerci rather short, thick at base, little curved, presenting a 

 blackish ring near the middle and darkened at apex. 



Ovipositor somewhat longer than ha'f the body, rather slen- 

 der, almost straight; inferior valves bearing a few broad denticu- 

 lations near the apex, internal cues extending almost to the apex. 



Legs relatively short and thick ; anterior femora armed with 

 2 apical spines, the external of which is long and movable ; tibiae 

 slightly longer than the femora, rather slender, armed with 3 or 4 

 apical spurs (the superior ones very short, the internal sometimes 

 failing), 4 inferior spines disposed in pairs at the basal and api- 

 cal thirds and i small spine between the inferior ^purs ; tarsi 

 rather long, compressed, the metatarsus a Httle longer than the 

 other joints together, the 3 first joints wholly carinated beneath. 

 Intermediate legs very similar to anterior ones, femora armed 

 with 2 movable spines, tibiae bearing 4 apical spurs, 2 external, 

 I internal and i apical inferior spiire. P;.sterior femora thick at 

 liase, their filiform part much shorter than the swollen part, their 

 internal inferior margin armed with 9-10 small brov\n spines in 

 their proximal part, genicular lobes armed with a small spine. 

 Tibiae scarcelj' longer than the femora, indistinctly annulated, 

 armed with about 80 spines, disposed in increasing series as fol- 

 lows . —
