Aptenopedes rufovittata nov. sp. Green, more or less infus- 

 cated above. Face minutely and rather sparsely dotted with black- 

 ish fuscous, the mouth-parts and the lower part of the face often de- 

 cidedly pink; antennae with the first two joints green, beyond either 

 dull green, more or less infuscated (cT), or with the basal half reddish 

 or pinkish brown and the apical half olivaceo-fuscous (?); eyes as in 

 A. sphenarioides. Pronotum rugulose, much more heavily in the d 

 than in the ?, and the dorsum of the other thoracic joints and the 

 basal abdominal joints similarly marked ; pronotum with a distinct 

 (?) or Inconspicuous (d") median carina, obscurely infuscated in the 

 d, generally marked distinctly but narrowly with testaceous in the 

 ? , the surface of the whole pronotum with a few scattered hairs, 

 even more sparsely distributed than in -4. sphenarioides; position of 

 the lateral carinte (which are wanting) marked by a slender black 

 stripe, followed above by a somewhat broader rufous band, fading to 

 yellowish and narrowed in the female ; this stripe does not extend 

 upon the head. Tegmina wanting in the d , very slender, linear, 

 straight and green in the 2 . Legs green, the hind femoi'a tipped, at

 claws. Abdomen with an obscure testaceous medio-dorsal stripe in 

 the female, extending onto the thorax, and on the abdomen followed 

 by an obscure pleuro-dorsal series of small dark spots, or with a 

 similar distinct stripe in the d, bordered by a more or less distinct 

 narrow or broad edging of black, fading laterally into fuscous; 

 anal cerci of d tapering almost uniformly, while in A. sphenarioides 

 they taper only on the basal half and beyond are equal.
