vertex and the facial fastigium separated by the structure of the scrobes, 

 iirst and second joints large, the proximal larger, the joints of the 

 remainder of the antenna? imperfectly marked: eyes ovoid, rather small. 

 Pronotum sellate, depressed dorsad, the caudal section produced and 

 expanded, surface tuberculate; cephalic margin truncate, caudal margin

arcuate with a rounded median emargination; lateral lobes rounded, 

 about as long as deep, sinus very slight, a distinct overhanging shoulder 

 present. Tegmina of the peculiar "dried-leaf" type found in all the 

 species of the genus, and of a form defying description, the figure 

 representing the characters satisfactoi-ily; the I'egularly rounded den- 

 tate character of the distal half of the caudal margin and 

 the position of the large rounded emargination of the 

 cephalic margin are the principal characters. Wings con- 

 siderably longer than broad. Abdomen compressed, each 

 of the segments with a median acute lo))ule on the dorsal 

 margin; terminal dorsal segment roundly emarginate; 

 supra-anal plate broader than long, the apical margin trun- 

 cate; cerci broad. Hat, acute, not exceeding the supra-anal 

 plate in length; subgenital plate subquadrate, the caudal 

 margin truncate. Cephalic femora about as long as the 

 pronotum, the ventro-cephalic margin with four dentiform 

 lobes, the proximal quite small, cephalic genicular lobes 

 acute; cephalic tibia? slightly longer than the femora, expanded and 

 iiillated at the bulhv, the distal portion slender. Median femora about 

 e(|iial to the cephalic in length, armed with three similar lobes, the
