the pronotuni in the female, in the male overlapping-, .strongly convex

 In-oadly concave apically with the side angles sharp, elongate and bent 

 inwards, of the male elongate and apically triangularly incised, the 

 apical stylets missing from the only specimen seen; subgenital lobes 

 of the female elongate, apically narrowly rounded, about two times as 

 long as broad and reaching to the tip of the subgenital plate; cerci of 

 the female simple, cylindrical, about two times as long as the basal 

 width and apically pointed, of the male shaped as in siviplex. Ovi-

Type.—<^^i. No. 10179, U. S. National Museum. 



Specimens examined. — One male, two females, Pullman, Washing- 

 ton, August, taken by C. V. Piper. 



The general structure of this long-legged species is so similar to 

 A. simijlex that the breeding ha])its are very proba])h' as descri])ed 

 under that species. The female quite likely carries the seminal sac of 

 the male as described under simple;i\ as the structure of the subgenital 

 lobes and plate seems titted for the purpose of holding the sac as it is 

 in that species.
