belt, which extends onto the thorax, where it infuscates the upper 

 third of the deflected lobes, especially anteriorly, and deepens to 

 black next the lateral carinae ; metathoracic epimera yellowish or pale 

 yellowish brown, edged on either side with black; anal field of teg- 

 mina testaceous, the remainder black, the extreme tip testaceous; fore 

 and middle legs dull fusco-testaceous ; the hind femora yellow, more 

 or less tinged with brownish, with a broad black band on either side 

 of the middle, whose edges follow the impressed lines, the basal one 

 sending a median shoot to the base; hind tibiae vinous red, a little 

 infuscated at the base, the spines black. Vertex between the eyes 

 broader than (9) or scarcely as broad as (c?) the basal joint of 

 antennae, broadly and shallowly sulcate; frontal costa broad, subequal, 

 sulcate throughout excepting just above the antennae. Pronotum 

 with equal sides, the transverse sulcations moderate, continuous, 

 nearly straight, the median carina distinct on the posterior lobe. 

 Tegmina only half as long as the abdomen, tapering, the inner mar- 

 gin convex, wings slightly shorter. Hind femora stout and long. 

 Male abdomen normal, the cerci moderate in size, compressed, taper- 

 ing and straight on the middle half, with an obscure inner superior 

 basal tubercle ; beyond the middle bent inward and a little upward, 

 equal, the tip squarely docked with rounded angles; last inferior seg- 

 ment pointed. Length, cf, 23 mm., ?, 26.5 mm.; of antennae, 

 d 1 , 13 mm., ?, 11 ; of tegmina, cf, 9 mm., 2, 9.5 mm.; of hind femora,

Body straight, subcylindrical. Head moderately large, subdecli- 

 vant, the eyes large, prominent, separated from each other above by 

 fully (c?) or very much more than (?) the width of the basal joint 

 of antennae; the fastigium rather broad, slightly depressed, the 

 frontal costa as in Caloptenus; antennae long, equal, of similar length 

 in the two sexes, the joints sub-depressed, beyond the middle punc- 

 tate. Pronotum simple, smooth (the posterior lobe punctulate), the 

 median carina slight, equal; the anterior scarcely longer than the 

 posterior lobe, the hind border of latter obtusely and bluntly angled . 

 lower border of deflected lobes very obtusely angled in the middle • 

 tubercle of prosternum prominent, subcylindrical, bluntly pointed, at 

 the base laterally compressed, at least in the male ; mesosternal lobes
