more extensive progressively posteriorly so the middorsal green is 

 narrowed on 4 and still more on 5 where it disappears at about 

 three-fourths the segment's length; the green basal ring is present 

 on 5, but]^not posterior to that segment, and pale color is wanting 

 OTJ.W. defined on the inferior lateral areas of each segment posterior 

 to 5; 8-10 bluish gray, each segment bordered posteriorly with 

 black, very narrowly on 8 and 9, wider on 10; a black subbasal 

 spot on either side of 8; the ventral border of 9 black; the lower 

 half of 10 indefinitely dark shaded. Appendages black. 



Coxae yellow, the third pair each with a dark spot on the outer 

 side and a larger black area on the inner side; femora dark with a 

 pale colored stripe through each of the two rows of spines, thus 

 leaving a narrow median ventral stripe and a wide dorsal stripe 

 dark; first and second femora with the dorsal stripe brown, and 

 the third femora with it black; dorsum of tibiae pale, greenish 

 on the first, Hght yellowish brown on the others; each tibia dark 

 at apex; the first tibiae each with a black longitudinal bar on 

 either side of the narrow pale middorsal line, thus making the 

 dorsal surface largely black; second and third tibiae each with 

 these dark bars greatly reduced to mere basal streaks, thus leaving 

 the dorsal surface largely pale; ventral surface of all the tibiae 

 with a black longitudinal hne, wide on the first and narrower on 

 the second and third tibiae; tarsi black or nearly so, the tooth on 

 the tarsal claw variable in the single specimen, equal or subequal 

 to the claw itself. 



Venation black, stigma brown; venational characters discussed 

 under the genus.
