 TUM OF 

 MALE. 



(X3) 



pronotum subequal in width, median carina low, rather coarse, 

 marked on all of the pronotum, transverse sulci three in number; 

 metazona equal to (male) or exceeding (female) two-thirds the length 

 of the prozona; lateral lobes distinctly longer than deep, the ventral 

 margin with a very slight obtuse-angulation. Tegmina about one 

 and two-thirds (male) to twice (female) the length of the 

 head and pronotum together, narrow, subequal; costal mar- 

 gin with a hardly appreciable lobe and a moderate distal 

 arcuation, sutural margin nearly straight, apex with a slight 

 oblique truncation, the extreme apex narrowly rounded; 

 distinct intercalary vein present. Wings extending to the 

 tips of the tegmina. 



Prosternal process transverse, the apical margin arcuate 

 emarginate, the lateral angles bluntly protuberant, not 

 oxYBLEP- retrorse; interspace between the mesosternal lobes strongly 

 longitudinal, the length about four times the width, the 

 interspace hardly more than a third the width of one of 

 the lobes; metasternal lobes contiguous in both sexes. 

 Abdomen hardly compressed ; supra-anal plate of the male 

 short, stout pATiform, the greatest mdth slightly more than 

 the length, apex bluntly rounded; a pair of blunt tubercles 

 placed a short distance proximad of the apex; cerci of the 

 male simple, robust in the proximal third, then strongly bent dorsad 

 and tapering to the apex which is curved inward toward 

 the median line; subgenital plate of the male acute-angu- 

 late when seen from the dorsum, apex well rounded when 

 seen from the side. Cephalic and median limbs very short , 

 the femora slightly more robust in the male. Caudal fe- 

 mora reaching about to the apex of the abdomen in both 

 sexes, somewhat compressed, moderately robust in the 

 proximal half, tapering distad, the genicular extremity 

 quite small; caudal tibite appreciably shorter than the fe- 

 mora, armed on the external margin with seven spines, 

 on the internal margin wdth ten, both margins with slight 

 lamellate expansions distad, the tibise appreciably broad- 

 ened in the same portion. 



General color gamboge yellow, broad postocular bars 

 of Vandyke brown, slightly darker in the male, extending 

 caudaU over the dorsum of the lateral lobes and the same 

 portion of the pleura, represented on the costal half of 

 the tegmina by the prout's brown infuscation of the region, a nar- 

 row cloud along the dorsum of the pagina of the caudal femora van- 

 dyke brown, slightly chocolate on its ventral edge; face walnut brown, 

 the area thus colored limited by a pair of strongly divergent dark 

 lines which extend ventrad from the insertion of the antennae; eyes
