 Femora pale brown or yellowish. 



Appendages and rudimentary nth abd. segment between them one- 

 third as long as 10, pterostigma of front wings 3.25 mm. long,

 put with a pair of low elevations in the median third and a 

 slightly higher superior tubercle on each side , . llama n. sp. 

 Femora bordered with black, pterostigma of front wings 3 5 mm. long. 



(From de Sely's description) obtnsns. 



Spines of the distal half of the anteroinferior row, third femora, 5 in num- 

 ber, much longer than the spines on any other part of these, or 

 of the first or second, femora and nearly as long as the tibial 

 spines ; femora pale yellow (individual teneral, abd. segs. 6-10 

 lost), pterostigma of front wings 4 mm. long, median dorsal 

 third of occiput slightly elevated, no lateral superior tubercles. 



quadracies n. sp.

 one very close to the humeral suture. 



Males. 

 loth abd. seg. convex and slightly swollen dorsally, no tubercle, but 

 with a double median group of spinules representing it. Supe- 

 rior appendages slightly longer than 10, each one in dorsal

 obliquely truncated backwardly (caudad) and inwardly (mesad), 

 both the outer and inner angles of the truncation slightly pro- 

 duced ; in profile view curved downward, especially in the 

 apical half, terminating in an obtuse apex. Inferior appendage

 branches less divaricate than the superiors, with no superior 

 teeth, with simple slightly upturned apices, no apical tuft,
