126 James A. G. Rehn: On some African Mantidae and Phasmidae etc. 



tudinal; anal segment slightly shorter than the preceding ab- 

 dominal Segment, regularly expanding caudad, caudal margin 

 with a prominent broad n shaped emargination exposing the 

 Short transverse arcuate supra-anal plate; cerci inserted disto- 

 laterad in the anal segment, distinctly exceeding that segment 

 in length, viewed from the side they are seen to be sigmoid in 

 contour, dropping ventrad of the Hne of the anal segment, from 

 the dorsum they are seen to be nearly straight and moderately 

 divergent in the proximal half, strongly arcuate convergent 

 distad, internal face with a sharp proximal tooth, the proximal 

 portion of the dorso-internal margin with a rounded ridge which 

 just before the middle of the cercus terminates in a free but sub- 

 parallel rounded lobe; subgenital plate moderately inflated, sub- 

 carinate mesad, distal extremity with a very slight median pro- 

 jection. Cephahc limbs missing. Median femora subequal to the 

 pro- and mesothorax; unarmed ventrad tibiae exceeding the 

 femora by about half the prothoracic length. Caudal femora ex- 

 ceeding the metathorax by nearly the prothoracic length; un- 

 armed ventrad tibiae damaged. 



General color pale ochraceous, dorsal lines seal brown ; median 

 line extending from between the antennae to the base of the 

 anal segment, very delicate throughout and faint from the middle 

 of the metathorax caudad ; lateral lines quite similar to the median 

 line but losing their identity a short distance cephalad of the 

 disappearance of the same ; ventral Hne varying from sealbrown to 

 burnt umber, broad anddistinct on the ventral surf ace of theheadand 

 thoracic segments but practically ceasing on the second ventral ab- 

 dominal segment. Limbs apple green ; antennae vandyke brown. 

 Measurements. 



Type c? ? 



Length of body 71 mm. 72,5 mm. 



Length of prothorax 2,5 „ 4 „ 



Length of mesothorax 12,5 ,, 14,5 ,, 



Length of metathorax (incl. med. segm.) . 18 ,, 21,5 ,, 



Length of cephalic femur — ., — ,, 



Length of median femur 14 ,, 14 ,, 



Length of caudal femur 20 ,, — ,, 



The paratypic female of which measurements are given 

 above is minus the apex of the abdomen and caudal limbs and 

 has the single remaining cephalic Hmbs badly contorted. It agrees 

 with the general characters of the male, but the following notes 

 may be of interest. Form moderately robust (for the genus); 

 lateral portions of meso- and metanotum with biseriate marginal 

 rows of low tubercles. Head with the Impression in the inter- 

 ocular Inflation divided by a marked medio-longitudinal ridge, 

 the Inflation less than in the male. 



Coloration as in male, but with head and prothorax linding 

 toward greenish and the lines less pronounced and less extensive.
