cortiis it can be separated by the narrower form, broader tegmina and comparatively 

 longer pronotum. 



Size small ; form elongate ovate, depressed ; surface glabrous. Head rather 

 narrow, the anterior margin extending beyond the pronotum ; interspace between 

 the eyes broad, but slightly less than that between the antennal bases, tumid ; eye 

 subreniform, depressed ; antennae short, not quite equal to the body in length, 

 flagelliform. Pronotum with the length less than the posterior width, moderately 

 arched ; anterior margin subtruncate, posterior truncate, lateral margins straight 

 with the anterior angle very broadly rounded and the posterior rectangulate, with 

 the extreme angle rounded. Mesonotum with the posterior margin truncate ; met- 

 anotum broadly and shallowly emarginate. Tegmina short, but slightly exceeding 

 the mesonotum, narrow, hastate ; apex bluntly angulate ; internal margins separated 

 by a space almost double the width of the single tegmen. Abdomen broader than 

 the thorax ; supra-anal plate truncate, very broadly obtuse-angulate ; cerci short, 

 slightly longer than the supra-anal plate, fusiform, apex rather attenuate ; subgenital 

 plate rather large, not projecting beyond the supra-anal plate, apical margin evenly 

 arcuate. Anterior femora with the anterior inferior margin bearing four median 

 spines and with the apical portion finely spinulose, posterior margin unarmed ; 

 tibiae but slightly more than half the length of the femora. Median femora bear- 

 ing three spines on the anterior margin, one apical, two median, posterior margin 

 bearing six spines of which the apical are smaller than the median ; tibiae slightly 

 shorter than the femora. Posterior femora with the anterior and posterior margins 

 each armed with three spines, two median and one apical; tibiae slightly longer than 

 the femora ; posterior metatarsi slightly longer than the remaining tarsal joints. 



General color black becoming burnt sienna on the limbs, cerci and margins of 

 the thoracic segments.

I take pleasure in dedicating this interesting species to Mr. Schaeiifer who col- 

 lected the type.
