second joints of their tarsi sultequal: legs, and in fact tlie entire 

 body, ratlier strongly hirsute. Antennae filiform, about as long as 

 tlie bind femora. 



Color qiiite gaudy; the head and pronotum dull black witii a 

 greenish tinge in some lights. conspieuously marked with dull 

 orange on the head the lower edges of the cheeks, the lateral ca- 

 rinae of face, the frontal costa, a considérable portion of the cly- 

 peus, sides of the mandibles, a dot back of tlie middle of each eye, 

 tlie disk of the fastigium and a V-shaped mark on tlie occiput just 

 back of the vertex, on the pronotum a large patch near the middle 

 of each lateral lobe and one at center of the disk both in front 

 and behind; upper half of the pleura and dorsum of the abdomen 

 nearly to its tip dull black; below flavous, inclining to dull orange. 

 Tegmina on their basai two-thirds raetallic blue-green with a faint 

 longitudmal discal streak of flavous, the apical portion lirownisii, 

 semi-raembranous. Wings vitreous, slightly infuscated apically and 

 towards tiie posterior border. Hind femora olivaceous, variée! with 

 flavous internally and below, on the disk externally the pinnae 

 raoderately hea\7 but filiform, about 2.5-jointed, the apical four or 

 five pallid as in Copiocera, Bhicnoderma and several other tropical 

 American gênera; lateral carinae of the face prominent, evenly and 

 strongly divergent, extending from the outer edge of the antennal 

 sockets to near tlie apex of the mandibles. Pronotum with the two lobes 

 about equal in lengtli, the anterior lobe cylindrical, the posterior one 

 divergent, tiie disk of the latter flat and with its hind edge obtusangu- 

 late, front edge broadly margined and roundly advanced upon the 

 occiput, in some species with the middle shallowly and roundly 

 emarginate. Tegmina surjiassing the apex of abdomen, with parallel 

 edges, coriaceous, rather profusely veined basally, but more sparsely 

 so apically, the apex rounded. Hind femora rather short and fairly 

 robust, considerably shorter than the abdomen, witli smooth carinae 

 and regulär pinnae on external disk, the genicular lobes more or less 

 angulate: hind tibiae plainly shorter than the femora, robust, seven- 

 or eight-spined on outer edge, the apical one wanting: the second 

 tarsal joint about one-lialf the length of the first. Anterior and 

 middle legs rather siioi-t. Prosternai spine soniewhat robust, directed 

 gently to the rear, its apex l)lunt. Interspace between the mesoster- 

 nal lobes transverse. V^alves of the ovipositor normal. Body and legs 

 soniewhat hirsute.
