3. Orphula decora, n. sp. Fig. 17 d. 



iLength (female) 24 mm. 



Tegmina 16 mm. 



Head 3 mm . 



Pronotum 414 mm 



Vertex broad but little advanced in front of the eyes, with a very 

 low lateral carina, close to which is a shallow narrow sulcus and no 

 median carina. The frontal costa is not at all sulcate, with the sides 

 straight and very moderately divergent. The lateral foveol^e are 

 elongate triangular and obscure. The face is arcuate. The antenna 

 are filiform, scarcely at all depressed. The pronotum has the median 

 carina cut distinctly behind the middle. The lateral carinas are near- 

 ly straight and parallel to the median carina, being quite parallel to 

 the second sulcus and from that point barely divergent to the posterior 

 margin of the metazone which is moderately angulate. The lobes of 

 the mesosternum are separated by a space much broader than long. 

 The lobes of the metasternum by a space much longer than broad. 

 The tegmina are a little longer than the abdomen. The general color 

 is testaceous, with the sides of the abdomen and an obscure stripe be- 

 hind the eye a little darker, and the whole upper surface, including 

 the anal and the costal fields of the tegmina green. The testaceous 

 discoidal field is scarcely perceptibly maculate with very small spots. 



Described from a single female which has lost its posterior femora 

 and all of one and part of the other antenna. 



This species is more closely related to speciosa than to any other 

 of the Orphulse. It is, however, readily distinguished by its much 

 greater size approaching as it does very nearly Dichromorpha viridis, 

 the female being a little less robust than in that species. It is also 

 distinct in the structure of the pronotum in which the lateral carinae 

 are very nearly parallel and straight. The vertex is shorter and more 

 rounded than in speciosa and there is no median carina. The metas-
