MORGAN HEBARD 



281 



Type. — cf ; Colfax, Placer County, California. Elevation, 

 2450 feet. August 28, 1910. (Rehn and Hebard.) [Hebard 

 Collection, Type no. 503.] 



Size small, form slender. Head much as in marginatus, but with area of 

 fastigio-facial angle distinctly less produced, the angle itself more broadly 

 rounded. Frontal costa shallowly concave. Eye large, about two and one- 

 half times as long as infra-ocular sulcus. Pronotum elongate, disk of equal 

 width, with a slender but well defined and percurrent medio-longitudinal carina, 

 lateral carinae very weakly defined, caudal margin nearly transverse, very 

 broadly obtuse-angulate produced. Prosternal spine as in marginatus; small, 

 bluntly elongate subconical. Tegmina slightly shorter than pronotum, 

 broadly oval with immediate apex acute and sharply rounded. 47 Furcula 

 represented by a pair of minute, slender teeth, each about twice as long as wide, 

 with apex bluntly rounded. Supra-anal plate simple, moderately elongate 

 trigonal, the lateral margins showing very feeble convexity, surface with a 

 moderately broad, proximal, medio-longitudinal sulcation. Cerci elongate, 

 weakly curving inward, about three and one-half times as long as proximal 

 width, tapering evenly in proximal two- fifths, median fifth slender with margins 

 almost parallel, distal two-fifths enlarged, but not swollen or truncate as in 

 marginatus, enlargement due to broad convexity of dorsal margin, with blunt 

 apex at ventral margin ; the ventral margin is almost straight, very feebly con- 

 cave throughout, the dorsal margin more strongly concave to distal portion, 

 where it is convex. Subgenital plate as in marginatus; median section of 

 slightly greater depth laterad than mesad, with a small but distinct tubercle 

 mesad, at the free margin. Limbs as in marginatus. 



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



Size larger, form heavier than in male. The heavier form and less produced 

 fastigio-facial angle as strikingly in contrast with this sex of marginatus as 

 between males of these species. Fastigium of vertex and frontal costa decid- 

 edly broader and less sulcate than in male. Eye about two and one-quarter 

 times as long as infra-ocular sulcus. Pronotum with medio-longitudinal 

 carina not as sharp as in male. Ovipositor and limbs as in marginatus.
