jnonotuiii uiiicolimms except tliat the lower luntions of the lateral 

 lobes become {gradually tlaveseent and the lateral eariiiae arei'onspicu- 

 onsly Havous; median eariiui i>ereiirrent, e(|Ujil, blunt, lon^jitudinally 

 arenate on the ]>rozona; front niarj^in subtruneate, hind marjj:in very 

 obtiisanj^Miiate, both delicately marjiined; ])rozona very lon<;itiidinal, 

 beinj; more than (male) or almost (female) half as loiifj a^ain as broad, 

 very coarsely and sparsely jinnctate, half as Un\\i a^ain as the hnely 

 rnpnloso-jtnnctate meta/ona. I'rosternal spine rather lonjj, eonico cyl- 

 indrical, erect, blunt; interspace between mesosternal lobes twice as 

 lon^^ as broad (male) or fully half as lonj:: aji'ain as broa<l (female), the 

 nietasternal lobes approximate (male) or moderately distant (female). 

 Teyniina subovate, verj' broad, very rapidly tapering especially by the 

 obli(|ue excision of the costal marjjin and the stronjj ai)ical arcuation of 

 the inner margin, subacuminate, a little lonj^er than the ])ronotuni, 

 overla])i)ing, brownish castaneons, the ulnar vein broadly marked with 

 l>ale tlavcms edged anteriorly with blackish fuscous. Fore and middle 

 femora somewhat enlarged in the male, rufotla )us; hind femora tlavo- 

 testaceous, the <mter face and the geniculation more or less deeply 

 infuscated especially above, w ithout fasciation or maculatiou of any 

 kind: hind tibiae rather deep red or fuseo-violaceous, the spines pallitl 

 with black tii)s, eight to eleven in number in the outer series. Kxtremity 

 ofmale abdomen clavate but very feebly enlarged, very strongly recurved, 

 the supraanal plate pretty regularly triangular, as long as broad, the 

 apex acutangulate, the margins feebly and broadly elevated, the median 

 sulcus not very deep, terminating with its bordering ridges in the center 

 4)f the jdate; furcula ?; cerei very broad and somewhat tumid at base, 

 torming a comi)resse<l and slightly tortuous cone, tapering rai)idly and 

 somewhat regularly, but with the slender tip a little produced, <*urv( d 

 slightly inward and downward, bluntly ])ointed, reaching the ti]) of the 

 Mipraanal plate; infiacercal plates very broad, suddenly nariowing just 

 beyond the base but easily visible outside the cerci nearly the whole 

 length of the latter, slightly produced apically to attain the tip of the 

 supraanal plate; subgenital plate tumid, very broad at apex, partly by 

 the retrocession of the preceding ventral segment, distinctly broader 

 tlian long, the lateral and ajjical margins together feebly arcuate so 

 tliat the apex is slightly elevated, the apical margin as seen from above 

 iicutangulate, entire.

The single male (from Dakota) is slightly mutilated, preventing a 

 description of certain parts. I was at first inclined to regard this as 

 distinct from Brunner's species, of which he favored me with a descrip- 

 tion and ligure (hitherto unpublished;, on account of the representation
