SCUDDER — SUPPLEMENT TO A REVISION OF THE MELANOPLI. I 73 



elevated above the pronotum, the interspace between the eyes broad, 

 twice (cJ*) or more than twice ( 9 ) as broad as the first antennal joint; 

 fastigium moderately declivent, hardly sulcate ; frontal costa subequal, 

 fading before the clypeus, a little narrower than the interspace between 

 the eyes, depressed at the ocellus, irregularly punctate throughout ; 

 eyes moderate, a little prominent in the male, a little longer than 

 the infraocular portion of the genae ; antennae castaneous, luteous at 

 extreme base (broken in the only specimens seen). Pronotum sub- 

 equal (c?) or distinctly and steadily enlarging posteriorly (?), fus- 

 cous, with a very broad postocular piceous band on the prozona, be- 

 low which the lateral lobes are pale testaceous, the disk transversely 

 convex, and on the prozona slightly tumid, at least in the male, pass- 

 ing by tolerably distinct but blunt lateral carinae into the slightly 

 tumid subvertical lateral lobes ; median carina distinct, equal, percur- 

 rent (c^) or obscure, subobsolete between the sulci (?); front and 

 hind margins subtruncate ; prozona distinctly longitudinal (cJ*) or sub- 

 quadrate (?), fully (d^) or less than (?) a half longer than the 

 scarcely punctate metazona. Prosternal spine rather short and stout, 

 appressed, rounded conical, very blunt ; interspace between mesoster- 

 nal lobes nearly twice as long as broad (c?) or transverse, as broad as 

 the lobes (9), the metasternal lobes approximate ((^) or rather distant 

 (9). Tegmina nearly or quite as long as the pronotum, subattingent, 

 at least in the male, subovate, nearly twice as long as broad, apically 

 acuminate or subacuminate, fusco-testaceous. Fore and middle fe- 

 mora somewhat tumid in the male, flavous or testaceous, infuscated 

 above (hind legs lost in specimens seen). Abdomen strongly cari- 

 nate, the sides strongly infuscated, the extremity in the male a little 

 clavate, slightly recurved, the supraanal plate triangular, the tip 

 slightly acutangulate, the surface nearly plane, with a very shallow, 

 regularly narrowing, percurrent median sulcus between slight walls ; 

 furcula consisting of very slight, depressed, a little divergent, triangu- 

 lar denticles; cerci rather coarse, subtriangular, about half as long 

 again as basal breadth, the lower margin straight, the upper sinuous, 

 the apex blunt acuminate and feebly incurved, the lower half of the 

 apical half faintly sulcate externally; subgenital plate rather small, 

 subpyramidal, of equal breadth throughout, slightly flaring and api- 

 cally compressed to form a pyramidal tubercle. 



Length of body, c?, 20 mm., 9, 21.5 mm.; tegmina, c?, 5 mm., 

 9, 6 mm.
