DICTYOPHA.B1NA. 



253 



laterally ; face three or four times as lono^ as broad, with three 

 loDgitudinal ridges which converge towards the clypeus, the lateral 

 ridges unite anteriorly in a curve with the central one : prouotum 

 slightly arched in front, broadly concave posteriorly, medially 

 longitudinally ridged ; mesonotum w'ith three longitudinal cari- 

 nations, the lateral ridges somewhat angularly sinuately waved and 

 forked, the outer fork short and straight, the inner longer and 

 stronger ; tegnrina hyaline, in structure as in Dictyopliora, but 

 the costal margin a little more arched, three long veins in basal 

 area divided near middle, in apical third numerous transverse 

 veins ; stigma long, formed of six veins including the stigmatal 

 border ; posterior tibise with six or seven spines ; anterior femora 

 with a short acute spine near apex.

1789. Dictyopharina consanguinea, .sp. n. 



Allied to D. viridissima, Melich., in coloration, but differing by 

 the head, in which the vertex is much more elongate and the 

 latei'al ridges more sinuate ; the lateral third of the tegmina is 

 also very distinctly less transversely veined ; the posterior tibiae 

 are also less distinctly spined on their basal areas, where the 

 spines are so obsolete as to make them appear less in number than 

 in Melichar's species. 



Length excl. tegm. 8 to 11 ; exp. tegm. 22 to 30 millim.
