narrow border and a large median spot on the labrum, a spot on each 

 side of the frons anteriorly and of the nasus (or the greater part of these 

 last two areas). Oceliar and antennal region brown, vertex and occiput 

 green, the last brown on each side, its hind margin slightly concave. 

 Rear of the head pale green. 



Prothorax pale green or yellow, median lobe with a large brown spot 

 each side of the dorsum. 



Thoracic dorsum brown, anterior margin, median carina, and two an- 

 tehumeral stripes each side, green ; the last consist of an inner (more 

 mesial) stripe, not reaching the anterior border, slightly divergent down- 

 ward from its fellow of the opposite side, and an outer (more lateral), 

 narrower stripe placed very little in front of the humeral suture, interrup- 

 ted near its upper end to form an inveited !, or not interrupted and con- 

 fluent with inner antehurneral stripe, its lower end confluent with the yel- 

 low mesinfraepisternum. Mesepimeron and metapleuron pale green, an 

 irregular narrow brown stripe on the (obsolete) ist and on the 2nd lateral 

 sutures. Thoracic sterna very pale green. 



Abdomen pale green or yellowish green, marked with dark brown as 

 follows : a pair of basal dorsal spots on i, a stripe on each side of dorsum 

 of 2 (above the auricles which are green and have a few very minute 

 black denticles), leaving between them a mid-dorsal trilobed stripe; a 

 median spot on the second fifth (very indistinct in one (^) and a pair of 

 small anteapical spots on the dorsum of 3-6, each of the paired spots be- 

 ing confluent with a lateral band, which may occupy the apical half of the 

 sides of the segments, but is not visible in dorsal view ; a transverse band 

 on 7-9 occupying the third quarter of the segments on the mid-dorsal line, 

 but of greater extent as they pass down on the sides of the segments, es- 

 pecially on 9 where they attain almost the entire segmental length. 10 

 brown, with a median dorsal green spot. 



Superior appendages twice as long as 10, pale green, almost straight, 

 slightly tapering toward the apex, which is obtuse and slightly curved 

 inward ; in profile view the inferior margin shows an obtuse angle imme- 

 diately after the base, from the distal side of which angle proceeds an 

 inferior, minutely spinulose carina. 



Inferior appendage very short, in profile view seen to begin anterior to 

 the base of the superiors, its upcurved and acute apex not quite reaching 

 t ) the inferior basal angulation thereof ; viewed from below, the append- 

 age is quite broad, with a wide but shallow apical emargination, the two 

 tips thus formed each ending in an upwardly-directed denticle giving the 

 appearance seen in profile. 



Legs pale greenish yellow,* tibiae, tarsi and anterior surfaces of the first 

 and second femora brownish. 



Wings faintly brownish, reticulation brown, costae yellow anteriorly. 

 Pterostigma ochre, surmounting 5-6 cells. All inner triangles free. Dis- 

 coidal triangles of front wings with the anterior side equal to or slightly
