Allotype. — 9 ; same data as type. [Hebard Collection.] 

 Larger and more robust than male. Lateral carinae of fastigium percurrent, 

 frontal costa as deeply sulcate as in male. Eye slightly shorter than infra- 

 ocular sulcus. Pronotum considerably broadened caudad, with disk strikingly 

 deplanate between the lateral carinae which are weaker than in male, but 

 heavier than in females of pinguis, with a very weak medio-longitudinal carina 

 indicated throughout. Succeeding segments to near apex of abdomen medio- 

 longitudinally carinate. Ovipositor jaws apparently much as in pinguis. 4 * 

 Cephalic and median femora neither inflated or bowed.

Coloration. — Male. Head light ochraceous-buff, occiput suffused triangu- 

 larly with blackish, leaving the portions toward the eyes buff, lateral carinae of 

 fastigium brazil red proximad, thence blackish with a claret tinge, as are the 

 lateral carinae of the frontal costa; a vertical suffusion of this color from be- 

 tween antennal socket and eye to clypeal suture on each side and another 

 oblique irregular suffusion across the genae, from an olivaceous postocular bar. 

 Disk of pronotum snuff brown, the lateral carinae claret brown; lateral lobes 

 of pronotum buffy ventrad, meso-proximad and in two smooth areas below 

 lateral carinae of disk, remaining portions suffused with black. Mesonotum 

 and metanotum suffused with black except for a medio-longitudinal line of 

 buffy, and bufly in small areas dorso-laterad, from which tegmina and wings 

 would spring if present. Abdomen suffused with black proximad, except for a 

 medio-longitudinal line of buffy, the black areas continued half the distance to 

 apex of abdomen on sides, and as a narrow weak suffusion dorso-laterad, to 

 and including the supra-anal plate, remaining portions of abdomen buffy. 

 Cephalic and median femora buffy, in type with dorsal surface washed with 

 brick red and cephalic face heavily marked distad with black and brick red; 

 in other individuals almost immaculate. Cephalic and median tibiae in type 

 buffy, with cephalic face heavily lined longitudinally with black, this indicated 

 only by a weak proximal suffusion in other examples. Caudal femora with 

 pagina suffused with blackish, the reticulations buffy proximad and mesad; 

 dorso-external and ventro-external surfaces ochraceous-buff, carinae tinged 

 with reddish, ventral margin of genicular lobes and narrow dorso-distal margin 

 garnet brown; dorso-internal surface ochraceous-buff with three heavy trans- 

 verse blackish bands, the more proximal being basal in position ; ventral surface 



44 In this specimen retracted, so that only the tips project beyond the supra- 

 anal plate.
