soletely denticulate within. Pronotal spine very long, stout, and raised, 
armed with a strong tooth at the base beneath. 
“Length, 5 mm.; breadth (of the pronotum) 14% mm. 
“Apterous form. Male and female. Fusiform, the pronotum ab- 
breviated and rounded behind; the abdomen metallic green above, with 
a stripe of greyish pubescence running down each side of the dorsal 
surface; the connexivum very broad in the females, extending inwards 
and overlapping the dorsal surface of the abdomen, the two portions 
nearly or quite meeting along the median line. 
“Var. Apterous form. Male and female. The anterior femora dark 
to the base; the coxe and trochanters darker, the latter, at most, flavous 
at the base, the sixth ventral segment broadly flattened, the flattened 
portion limited on each side anteriorly by a short, angular, longitudinal

“Winged form. Male. Moderately elongate, brownish-black, the legs 
with an zneous lustre, the base of the antennz, a transverse band on 
the front of the pronotum, the prosternum, all the coxe and trochanters, 
the basal half of the anterior femora, the hind femora at the base, 
within, and beneath, the connexivum, the last three ventral segments 
broadly in the middle, and the genital segments beneath, flavous or 
fulvous; the pleura and sides of the abdomen bluish-gray; the elytra — 
blackish-brown, the nervures darker; the head and pronotum somewhat 
thickly clothed with short yellowish pubescence, the head and propleura 
with a few long bristly hairs; the costal margins of the elytra, the sides 
of the body, the legs, and antenne pubescent, the two basal joints of the 
antennez, the margins of the genital and sixth connexival segments, and 
the legs clothed also with long scattered sete. Head with a smooth im- 
pressed median line; antenne moderately elongate, joint 1 rather more — 
than one-half longer than 2, 2 and 3 subequal, 4 a little shorter than 3, 
pointed at the tip. Pronotum produced behind into a long spiniform 
process, which is armed with a stout spine beneath. Legs moderately 
stout; anterior tibiew dilated in their outer half, grooved beneath; pos- — 
terior femora moderately incrassate, armed with a long tooth at the 
middle, and with a row of short teeth extending thence to the apex, 
these teeth diminishing in length outwards; posterior tibize slightly 
sinuate and finely denticulate within, straight on their outer edge, and 
with intermediate tarsi with joints 2 and 3 subequal in length. Ventral 
segments land 2 and the intercoxal portion of the metasternum depressed, 
the two segments with indications of a median ridge, the sixth ventral 
segment feebly emarginate at the apex and depressed along the middle 
behind. 
“Apterous form. Female. Fusiform, the pronotum abbreviated and — 
rounded behind; the posterior femora a little less incrassate, with the 
first (or median) tooth longer and those near the apex shorter; pos- 
terior tibiz straight and finely denticulate on their inner edge.

“Only the unwinged form is at present known. It is short and thick, 
subconical posteriorly, bluish plumbeous, opaque, minutely hairy, with — 
the sides of the abdomen broadly reflexed. The head wide, convex, with 
a slender black line on the front, the orbits of the eyes bordered with —
