Acanalonia tlzeobromae Fennah 



Figure 4,0-3 

 Acanalonia theohromae Fennah, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 95, p. 503, 1945. 



Aedeagus with a median spine directed caudad between inner pair 

 of processes, the latter decurved and acuminate at tip, apical processes 

 reflected below aedeagus, acuminate at tip and slightly deflexed, 

 a short secondary process at middle, directed mesad, slightly curved, 

 blunt at apex. 



This species was compared in the original description with the 

 Central American species A. decens St&l. An additional point in 

 which the two species differ is in the spinose armature of the hind 

 legs. A. theohromae has eight spines at the apex of the posttibiae 

 (occasionally seven on one leg), and eight or nine spines on the basal 

 metatarsal joint. The posttibiae of A. decens each bear seven 

 spines apically, while the basal metatarsal joint bears six.
