  In 
  this 
  group 
  the 
  antennae 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  are 
  exceptionally 
  long 
  and 
  the 
  

   prozona 
  is 
  distinctly 
  longitudinal. 
  The 
  interspace 
  between 
  the 
  meso- 
  

   sternal 
  lobes 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  sex 
  varies 
  from 
  siibquadrate 
  to 
  half 
  as 
  long- 
  

   again 
  as 
  broad, 
  while 
  in 
  the 
  female 
  it 
  varies 
  from 
  distinctly 
  transverse 
  

   to 
  much 
  longer 
  than 
  broad. 
  The 
  pronotum 
  is 
  posteriorly 
  truncate 
  or 
  

   subtrnncate, 
  usually 
  broadly 
  emarginate. 
  The 
  tegmina 
  are 
  not 
  only 
  

   abbreviate 
  but 
  rarely 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  pronotum, 
  lateral 
  and 
  distant. 
  

   The 
  hind 
  femora 
  are 
  long, 
  and 
  the 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  light 
  colored, 
  with 
  eight 
  

   to 
  twelve, 
  generally 
  about 
  ten, 
  spines 
  in 
  the 
  outer 
  series. 
  

  

  The 
  supraanal 
  plate 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  is 
  triangular 
  and 
  rather 
  simple; 
  the 
  

   last 
  dorsal 
  segment 
  is 
  obliquely 
  and 
  deeply 
  sulcate 
  on 
  either 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  

   base 
  of 
  the 
  furcula, 
  which 
  consists 
  of 
  a 
  pair 
  of 
  very 
  slender 
  parallel 
  

   fingers 
  or 
  spines 
  of 
  variable 
  length, 
  but 
  never 
  very 
  long; 
  the 
  cerci 
  

   rapidly 
  narrow 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  to 
  a 
  long 
  and 
  exceedingly 
  slender 
  incurved 
  

   blade, 
  hardly 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  supraanal 
  plate, 
  and 
  narrower 
  by 
  far 
  than
