Brownish testaceous, probably green when living ; an- 

 tennse reddish brown ; a broad brown band runs from the 

 occiput over the proriotum and the inner margin of the teg- 

 iriinji, extending over the basal area of the latter, for about one 

 third of their length, where it narrows to a border for the rest 

 of their length. Pronotum with a narrow yellow lateral line 

 on each side of the brown band ; the deflexed lobes are pale, a 

 little longer than high, with both the lower angles rather ob- 

 tusely rounded off; they are also marked uith a rather large 

 browni.'^h blotch in the middle. Tegmina with rows of sub- 

 obsolete small brown spots between the longitudinal and 

 oblique nervures. Abdomen not dentiiulatcd on the median 

 line; the lafct two segments with black sj)0ts in the male; 

 subgenital lamina broad, upcurved, bifid; cerci curved round 

 it, inwards and upwards, and waved towards the tips, which 

 are attenuated and point<!d. Female with the ovipositor 

 short, broad, rugose-punctate, suddenly upcurved, and with a 

 short rather abrupt point at the tip. L^g^ (especially the 

 hind leg.<) very long and slender ; femora unarmed ; front 

 and middle tibite sulcated, finely spinulose above and below ; 

 hind tibiai closely and thickly set with short black-tipped 

 spines on both carinai above ; below there is a row of spines 

 placed more widely apart on the inner carina only.

Distinguished from every other species by the dark spots on 

 the tegmina.
