 carina scarcel}' indicated; disk with the posterior margin evenly 

 rounded. Anterior tibiie armed above with five spines on the outer 

 carina and two or three on the inner. Cerci of the male as in fig. 48, 

 the branches widely divergent, the lower ])ran(h the longer and curv- 

 ing perpendicularly downward, the tip inclined somewhat inward; the 

 shorter branch directed inward at nearly right angles to the main body" 

 of the cercus and the tip curving downward; (fig. 48) cerci of the female 

 long, basally swollen and apicallj' attenuate, very sharply pointed. 

 Subgenital lobes of the female slightly exceeding the subgenital plate. 

 Ovipositor as long as the posterior femora, ver}" slightly" curved 

 upwards.

 mm., female, 18; posterior femora, male, 27-29, female, 

 30; intermediate femora, male and female, 11; posterior 

 tibia, male, 26-30, female, 29; intermediate tibia, male, fig. 48.— anabrus

 the type, and a female in the collection of the Philadelphia Academ}' 

 of Natural Sciences from the Le Conte collection taken on the Colum- 

 bia River in Oregon. 



This species is distinguishable at a glance from any of the other 

 described species of the genus by the unusually large size, and the 

 jnales are even more readily distinguished by the structure of the 

 cerci.
