 which assume a certain longitudinal regularity only on the 

 abdomen ; legs varying from luteous to testaceous, more or 

 less infuscated. Fore femora no stouter than the hind fem-

 and tapering, nearly the apical third sub-equal, three and a 

 half times as long as broad in the male and fully three and 

 three-quarters in the female, the upper portion of the apical 

 half of the inner surface and to a less degree the upper <ur- 

 facenear it with numerousraised points, the outer carina with 

 wider intervals between the larger spines and the spines less 

 stout (male), or with 2-3 scarcely noticeable spinules near 

 the apex (female), the inner carina with about 12-14 serru- 

 lations unequally placed, slight, less numerous and dis-

 noticeable arcuation or sinuation in the male, liardh' (male)

 neath with two median sub-apical spines besides the apical 

 pair. Hind tarsi about two-fifths as long as the tibiae, the 

 first joint longer than the other joints together, the second 

 much more than twice as long as the third and with it 

 longer than the fourth. Cerci stout at base, beyond slender,
