black ; the four hinder legs are also marked with black, but less 

 extensively. Front femora slightly thickened, with two very long 

 spines on the under surface, one near the base, and the other at 

 three-fourths of the length ; just beyond the second is another 

 small tooth. A small pectoral spine just in front of the insertion 

 of the tegmina, which are hyaline, with the costal area to beyond 

 the radial area rufo-testaceous ; beyond this, the subcostal area, 

 though surrounded by blackish nervures, is also rufo-testaceous ; 

 basal area green ; nervures rufo-testaceous towards the base, 

 darker towards the margins ; the second apical area projecting 

 distinctly beyond the others. Wings hyaline, green at the base, 

 nervures brown, the costal and two others of the principal ner- 

 vures being pale, especially towards the base. 



Not closely allied to any other species before me. I regret 

 that I have only a single specimen to describe from. 



Exact locality not recorded.
