in the male, enclosing between tlieni two deep contiguous fossae. Tegmina and 

 wings fully developed, the former slender. Hind femora slightly surpassing 

 the tip of the abdomen, the dorsal margin unarmed ; hind tibiae not ampliate 

 nor \vith ampliate margins, the spines on either side subequal, the outer series 

 consisting of nine spines, with none at the apex ; first ami tliird joints of hind 

 tarsi subequal, the second less than half as long as either of them. Last ventral 

 segment of male elongate, triangularly produced. 



This genus is very distinct from any known to me autoptically, appearing to 

 be most nearly allied to Aptenopedes Scmld., and Rhytidochrota Stal.

"Whole body pallid beneath, the sides and front of head and lower half of 

 lateral lobes of pronotum faintly suffused with pink ; a broad dorsal blackish 

 fuscous band, broken by a mediodorsal lighter interrupted stripe, extends over 

 head and prothorax, a broad piceous band runs from behind the eye across the 

 upper half of the lateral lobes of the pronotum, separated from the dorsal band 

 only by a clay-yellow stripe ; and the tegmina have all the veins blackish fus- 

 cous except those along the ulnar-anal area, which is clay-yellow in continua- 

 tion of the pronotal strij^e. The fore and mid legs and the dor.sal area of the 

 hind femora are light pinkish brown, the genicular lobes of the hind femora 

 and the larger part of the hind tibial spines black. The frontal costa of the 

 head is feebly and sparsely punctate above, the summit is delicately carinate, 

 the carina invading the sulcate fastigium. The pronotum is smooth, carinate 

 and feebly punctate, and very sparsely furnished with fine hairs of moderate 

 length ; the legs and abdomen are similarly furnished. 



Length of body, 13.5 mm. ; of antennae, 6.5 mm. ; pronotum, 3.2 mm. ; 

 tegmina, 11 mm. ; hind femora, 9 mm.
