Hi, (xtrentuH (p. I'H"). 

 h-. Apical niarj^in <»f snhj;»'nital plate eh'vatetl to form a tiiheiclo 

 where it joins tlio lateral niarj^ins, so that it is Ijroadly notcheil an 



seen from hehinti xr>, montirola (p. :!X)). 



<■■. C'erri of mule more or less t-xpanded api<ally. so as to be hroadrr at some 

 point hcvoiid the middle than at tin- middle, spatulate or snbspatulatr or 

 apically bifurcate. 

 <?'. C'erci of male simp'y spatulate or snbspatulate, at nmst moderately broad, 

 apically entire and no broader tlian at base; furcula always developed .is dis- 

 tinct denticiilatifMis, y;cncrally as lonj; or very lon^j ones. 



e'. Fnrcnlaof male lon;xand i)r<iininent, the projecting; portion much loni;er 

 than tile last dorsal 8e<^ment fmm wiiich it sjtrings, generally more than a 

 third as long as the su]iraanal plate. 

 /'. Snbgenital plate of male only modi-rately br<»a«l at apex, distinctly 

 narrower than long, never in the least notched and rarely, and then but 

 slightly, elevated apically; fureula rarely (and then but little) less, 

 usually more, than half as long as the supraanal ]>late; hind tibiae green 

 or blue, rarely (M. complaiuitipen) reddish yellow (20. Cin^-reus series). 

 (/'. Furcula of male only moderately broad at base, tapering uniformly, 

 not more than half as long as the sujiraanal plate; cerci uniformly 

 incurved throughout, not nearly reaching the tip of the supraanal 

 plate; the latter abruptl,y and strongly contracted shortly before its 

 tip. 



ft'. Prozona of male (piadrate or transverse: apical margin of sub- 

 genital plate of male, as seen from above, well roun«ied. 



HH, hitjtinoHUB (p. 292). 

 /*-. Pro/.ona of male a little longer than its l)a8:»l breadth; apical 

 margin of subgenital jilate of male, as seen from above, rounded 



angulate XI. ierminalis (]». 293). 



jr^. Furcula of mah' unusually broad at base, usually tapering unequally, 

 the narrowing beginning beyond the base and leaving a portion of the 

 apex e(iual and very slender, the whole c(»nsiderably more than half tho 

 length of the supraanal plate; cerci bent suddenly inward before the 

 tip and at the tip reassuming, at least in part, the original course, 

 reaching the tip of the supraanal plate; the latter with no abrupt pre- 

 apical constriction. 



/«'. The distal twist of the male cerci c«m8picuous and involving the 

 ai^ieal half of th»' same, 

 i'. Fureula of male narrowing uniformly or almost uniformly through- 

 out; hind margiii of jtronotum very obtusangulate; disk of pr<»n<)tunj 



dotted obscurely if at all with fuscous HH. ryanipes (p. 2i».")). 



i-. Furctila of male with a considerable part of the apical portion 

 e(|ual and very slender; hind margin of pronotum only a little 

 obtnsangulate ; disk of pronotum generally distinctly dotted with 



fuscous H9, chiereiis fp. 20t>). 



A". The distal twist of the male cerci inconspicuous, involving only 

 the extreme tip. 

 i'. Tegmina long and very slender, far surpassing the hind femora, 

 without distinct spots; hind femora strongly compressed; hind 



tibiae reddish yeUow 9<). complauatipes (i>. 298). 



i-. Tegmina of normal width and but little 8uri)a88ing the hind 

 femora, maculate along the discoidal area; hind femora normal; 

 hind tibiae glaucous 91. vanonicus (jp. 300).
