This species may be recognized by the bicolored wings of the 

 brachypterous male, the strongly spatulate vertex and the straight 

 lateral carina of the pronotum. 



Head as broad as pronotum; vertex fiat Avith the lateral carina 

 meeting at the apex; median carina faint; lateral carins of the geniv 

 very strong giving the vertex a broad spatulate appearance ; frons 

 about four times as long as broad; antennae short; second segment 

 about two and one-half times as long as first; pronotum projecting 

 anteriorly to about the middle of the eyes; nearly sciuare anteriorly; 

 weakly sinuate posteriorly ; about half as long as the vertex ; lateral 

 carinaB broadly separated straight, weakly diverging mesonotum equal- 

 ling the pronotum; the lateral carinje straight and more strongly 

 divergent; calcar nearly as long as the basal segment of the tarsi 

 without the apical spines, strongly and uniformly toothed; pygofer 

 of the male rather long, the genital aperture oval ; genital styles 

 diverging for about three-fourths of the length with the apical portion 

 incurved, sharply acuminate, meeting in the median line; anal tnbe 

 with two long curved horn-like i)rocesses. 



Color: General color of the male: head and thorax pale huffy 

 more or less shaded Avith fuscous ; eyes black ; legs ochraceous orange 

 faded to buff at the joints Avith the spines and tarsal claAVS black.
