 (Plate XXVI, fig. 3.) 



Head brighter or duller yellow, more or less infuniated, especially on 

 the Ijwer half, but enlivened with crinisoii more or less distinctly (but 

 not so conspicuously) as in /*. f<((fu/ui}U'u.s and at somewhat similar 

 points, but especially on the fastigium, the sides of the la))rum. the 

 elypeal sutun*, and the lateral carinae of the face, besides the niedio- 

 dorsal stripe of *he vertex: v-yes of fen-ale as in P.saNf/Hinetis: antennae 

 apieally acuminate, greenish ]dumbeous, the basal Joints pale. Prono 

 turn most sparingly pilose, olivaceo-fuscous with sha<b^s varying from 

 olivaceous to fusccms, the latter more pronounced on the front part of 

 the metazona and the dorsum of the jirozona, except an olivaceous, 

 continuous, mediodorsal stri])e, more or less conspicu(msly marked with 

 a crimson thready crimson also margins the lateral lobes of the meta- 

 zona and appears more or less distinctly on the upper half of the lateral 

 lobes of the prozona; the transverse sulci of the disk are only slightly 

 darker than the grcmnd; metazcma with crowded fine punctuation and 

 a slight median carina, the hind margin strongly convex, hardly angu- 

 late. Tegmuia slender, far surpassing the abdomen, hyaline on more 

 than the apical half, the veins yellow; wings nearly as long as the teg- 

 mina, greenish hyaline, the veins of the upper half fuscous or greenish 

 fuscous, of the lower half and most of the cross veins glaucous. Tore 

 and middle femora luteous, clouded with fuscous; hind femora luteous, 

 the outer face infuscated and the upper area alternately pale fuscous 

 and luteous or carmine; hind tibiae and tarsi glaucous, the spines glau- 

 cous or pallid with black tips, seven to eight on the outer row in the 

 female, eight in the male. Abdomen light fuscous with dull luteous 

 areas, but no enlivenment with brighter colors; supraanal plate of 

 male triangular, elongate, the apex acute; surface with two parallel, 

 not distant, sharply elevated ridges which extend, diminishing pos- 

 teriorly, nearly or (juite the length of the plate, including between them 

 a rather narrow and deep narrowing sulcus; furcuia consisting of only 

 a slight thickening of the posterior edge of the last dorsal segment 

 above the two ridges of the supraanal plate; cerci not very broad at 

 extreme base, rapidly and regularly tai^ering in the basal third, the 

 remainder very slender, equal or barely exi^anded at the blunt 

 extremity; lateral margins of the subgenital plate straight on the 

 apical half, the apical tubercle not rising above their level but having 

 the same direction, conical, simple. 



Length of body, male, 20 mm., female, 30 mm.; antennae, male, 7.5 

 mm., female, 8 mm.; tegmina, male, 19 mm., female, 24.5 mm.; hind 

 femora, male, 10 mm., female, 14 mm.
