318 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol. xxxii. 



Specimens examined. — One female, Tepusquet Peak, Santa Barbara 

 County, California. This specimen, Sciidder\s original t3qoe, is in the 

 collection of the National Museum through the courtesy of Bruner. 

 The ver}' unusual shape of the elytra (tig. 24) and the coloration make 

 this species eas}' of identification. 



ANOPLODUSA, new genus. 



Description. — Male, female unknown. Head of moderate size; eyes 

 nearly round, (juite prominent; vertex flat, not prominent, about 

 the size of the basal segment of the antenntt?. Pronotum posteriorly 

 produced over the base of the wings as in C'ljmohote.s and in shape 

 agreeing- with that of 0. fuliginom; prosternum unarmed, no sign of 

 spines being present. Wings and elj^tra fully developed, extending 

 bej'ond the tips of the posterior femora and shaped as in Capnohotex 

 fuliginom., the right elj^tron with transparent speculum, that of the 

 left elytron opaque. Legs long, anterior and intermediate femora as 

 long or a little longer than the pronotum ; posterior femora about 

 four times as long as the pronotum, abruptl}" and considerably 

 swollen on the l)asal half and unarmed; anterior femora armed below 

 with a few tine teeth on the inner margin, the outer margin unarmed; 

 anterior tihiie armed above on the outer margin onl}^ with three spines; 

 otherwise the legs are essentialh^ the same as in Capnolxdes. Genitalia 

 as in Capnohofes., the cerci of the onl}' species known with two pre- 

 apical teeth on the inner side. 



Type. — Dri/madusa arisonensis Rehn. 



This genus bears a very striking resemblance to Capnohotes, having 

 long wings and the same general appearance of the members of that 

 genus. But the unarmed prosternum and the posterior femora 

 being without ventral spines will readily separate it from that genus. 

 Anojjlodusa^ lacking as it does prosternal spines, is not as nearl}- 

 allied to Dryntadusa as is Capnohofes. 



There is but one species of this interesting genus. 



ANOPLODUSA ARIZONESIS Rehn.

Mr. Keiurs original description is here given in full : 



Dencriplioii. — JVIale, female unknown. Size rather large; form considerably elon- 

 gate. Head with the occiput rounded transversly, not elevated, sloping gradually to 

 the ratlier narrow, partially sulcate fa.stigiuni, which latter is deflected and touches 

 the frontal process, width of the fastigium less than that of the first antennal joint; 

 eyes wide apart, prominent, subglobose ; antennfe as long as the tegmina. Pronotum 

 selliform; anterior margin shallowlyemarginate, posterior margin broadly and evenly 

 rotundate; lateral lobes with the inferior margni rather narrowly nnnided; posterior 

 sinus very slight. Tegmina elongate, exceeding the apex of the abdomen by half 

 their length, the greatest width is contained six and one-half times in the length, apex 

 obliquely truncato-rotundate, costal expansion regular but not marked, greatest
