36 rnOCEEDISGS of the X JTIOX.il MISETM. vol.xv 



with no obtuse apically eraargfinate lobe [furcnla], the hind femora 

 slenderer and longer, i)rosternal si>ine conical, and the antennae longei-, 

 more than half as long as the body; hind tibiae in the specinicii 

 described furnished exteriorly with eight black spines, greenish oliva 

 ceous at the base. 



A female specimen, in which the dorsum of the body and of the hind 

 femora are ferruginous, with sn)alh?r eyes, the interspace between tlie 

 mesostemal lobes subtransverse and scarcely narrower than the lobes 

 themselvts, and metasternal lobes moderately distant, is very i)robabIy 

 to be referred to the species described above. In this specimen the 

 antennae are mutilated and the hind tibiae armed exteriorly with nine 

 spines. 



Mexico (Brunner's collection). 



To this I may add that the i)resent species is certainly very close to 

 the others described above under this genus, but seems to be slightly 

 larger than either, and to ditfer by the cerci of the male to a greater 

 degree than either of these do from each other. It is evidently also of 

 a lighter color, and no mention is made by Stal of a very distinct dark 

 lateral band, which is characteristic cf the other two. 



lO. CYCLOCERCUS, new genus. 



(hvhAo?, circle; nefjHo', tail.) 



Body shaped much as in Paraidemona, male and female, rather 

 sparsely and not very brietly pilo.se. Head not prominent, the vertex 

 moderately arched, scarcely elevated above the pronotum, but tlit 

 fastigiuni rapidly descending, more or less sulcate especially in tli' 

 male, much broadened anteriorly; face moderately retreating, tlit^ 

 frontal costa generally more or less sulcate and broadening slightly 

 from above downward, generally percurrent; interval between the eye* 

 narrow (male) or rather narrow (female), generally narrower than tin 

 upper part of the frontal costa; eyes moderately prominent, especiallv 

 in the male, generally much (male) or scarcely (female) longer than tlit 

 posterior infraocular portion of the genae; antennae much (male; «' 



scarcely if at all (female) longer than the head and pronotum togethc ' 

 Pronotum scarcely (male) or considerably (female) enlarging from i: ^ 

 front backward, both front and hind margins truncate, the latter soiiir * 

 times slightly emargiuate, the surface transversely convex with feel)l I 

 or no median carina and no lateral carinae, the disk passing alnio^ ^ 

 insensibly into the vertical lateral lobes; prozona about twice as Ion. " 

 as the metazona and less closely and less regularly punctate, the tr;ii ^ 

 verse sulci as in Sinaloa. Prosternal spine erect, blunt, conical; iiitt ^ 

 val between mesosternal lobes at least as long as broad in the malt ^^ 

 little transverse in the female, the metasternal lobes attingent or su ®^ 

 attingent in the male, approximate in the female. Tegmina shoii **» 

 than the pronotum, lateral, linear. Fore and middle femora distin* t '** 

 more gibbous in the male than in the female; hind femora rather she: ^*
