Fine specimens of the male of this species have been re- 

 ceived from Mr. Wallace. The female is now described 

 for the first time from a specimen obtained by me from the 

 Museum of Leyden. 



It is of a reddish-brown colour, the head and anterior 

 femora having a dull greenish tinge, the former with a 

 dark red triangular patch between the eyes, and with seve- 

 ral slight longitudinal darker lines at the back part of the 

 head, which is very convex. The antennae have two short 

 pale rings beyond the middle. The mesonotum has a 

 slender raised longitudinal line down the middle, and the 

 disc exhibits a number of minute pale granules. The cen- 

 tral carina of the tegmina is conically elevated and very 

 acute along its whole length. The median vein of the 

 costal area of the wings is furcate at about one-third of the 

 length from the base. The legs are slender, with a very 

 minute tooth near the extremity of the femora beneath. 

 The ovipositor reaches nearly to the extremity of the ab- 

 domen, and the anal styles are short, slender, porrected, 

 and setose.

The male is figured by Stoll. The fore femora have two 

 spines beneath near the tip, the middle femora have three 

 or four small spines near the tip, and the hind femora have 

 about eighteen along their whole length beneath, three near 

 the tip being larger than the rest. The tegmina are oval, 

 with a dark central longitudinal streak furcate towards the 

 middle, the outer branch being again furcate beyond the 

 middle. The three terminal segments of the body in the 

 male are of nearly equal length, the seventh segment gra- 

 dually widened, the eighth subquadrate, the ninth subqua- 

 drate, but emarginate along its apical truncation, with a 

 minute terminal lobe and a longitudinal carina along the 

 middle of the back of this joint ; the anal styles are about 

 the length of the last joint, exserted, dilated and converging 

 at the tips, their inner surface at the extremity being armed 

 with several minute teeth.
