The female is very similar to the male, even as to the armature of 

 of the posterior femora and tibiae. The cerci of both sexes are long 

 and simple and the ovipositor is about as long as the pronotum and 

 the inner valves are armed apically beneath with four long teeth and 

 a terminal hook. The anterior femora have one to three small spines 

 on the lower mner margin, usually one, and the opposite margin 

 imarmed. 



There is considerable variation in the size of the specimens exam- 

 ined. A large female in the Hebard collection from Fort Wingate, 

 New Mexico, shows the following measurements: Length, pronotum, 

 7 mm.; fore femora, 7 mm.; hind femora, 13 mm.; ovipositor, 7 mm. 

 Other adult females are somewhat smaller.
