This species is distinguished from others by the shorter more 
curved ovipositor and the high, narrow, oblique lobes of the pro- 
notum. There are four males and as many females in the col- 
lection, all more or less bleached and two totally so through 
immersion in alcohol, the colour is therefore uncertain, the line 
of blackish dots along the radial ivory-line is, however, quite 
constant. As the specimens have been gathered from such 
distant localities, the matching of the sexes is not quite beyond a 
doubt. 
TAENIOMENA LOBATA, Lrunner (Br. Mon., 205). 
Pale-testaceous. Front and sides of face, base of antenne, 
middle line and lower half of lobes of pronotum, broad border of 
marginal area, underside of pectus, and the thick part of hind 
femora almost white ; lateral border of pronotum, a short streak 
near base of anterior radial vein, post-ulnar vein from tympanal 
area along nearly the entire length of hindmargin of elytra, the 
branch at the plicate vein, and a streak on the upper side of the 
hind femora are blackish. Vertex of fastigium much pointed, and 
beak-like produced. Bases of antennz verystout and subcontiguous 
with the fastigium. Disk of pronotum more or less flat, the 
deflexed lobes small, narrow, the hind angle produced as a long 
keeled lobelet (keel blackish). Elytra with radial and ulnar 
veins very remote at the bases. Tympanal field of male short, 
plicate vein in both elytra not much raised. All femora unarmed. 
Cerci of male long semicircularly incurved. Subgenital lamina 
semicircularly emarginate, nearly as long asthe cerci. Ovipositor 
much longer than pronotum, semicircularly-incurved, flat, broad, 
acuminate, shining, apex blackish or brown, both margins near
