similarly colored, but the expanded portion luteous, with a slight 

 medio-dorsal impressed line ; all the angles are well rounded. 

 Tegmina with the dorsal area nearly three times as long as broad, 

 blackish castaneous, with a broad, posteriorly narrowing, longitudinal, 

 luteous band, extending from close to the base to near the tip, leav- 

 ing between it and the sutural line a narrow stripe of blackish casta- 

 neous. Exposed part of wings (at rest) yellow outwardly, black 

 inwardly, both tegmina and exposed part of wings covered sparsely 

 with very short, erect, rather stout, black hairs. Femora and tibia? 

 blackish ; tarsi honey yellow. Abdomen castaneo-piceous above, dark 

 castaneous beneath, broadest beyond the middle ; the last segment is 

 subquadrate, gibbous, with lateral carinas growing larger posteriorly, 

 so as to give it a pinched appearance, a broad, sulcate, medio-dorsal 

 depression, deepest in the middle of the segment, at the bottom of 

 which is an impressed line; the sides of the four segments preceding 

 this produced backward into points, increasingly so toward the 

 extremity of the body, the prolongations of the penultimate extend- 

 ing half way down the sides of the last segment. Forceps stout, de- 

 pressed, sub trigonal, tapering regularly to a blunt point, the apical 

 two-fifths curved more or less strongly inward. 



Length of body, exclusive of forceps, 15.5 mm. ; of tegmina, 4.6 

 mm. ; of distance of closed wings beyond tip of tegmina, .75 mm. ; 

 of forceps, 3.5 mm. 1 ?, Eastern slope of the Peruvian Andes.

Body moderately convex. Head very slightly convex, of equal 

 length and breadth, narrowing slightly behind; first joint of antennas 

 long and stout, largest at the distal extremity; second as long only as 

 its breadth, cylindrical ; third, fourth and fifth increasing a little in 

 length, each more than the last, slightly obconic, the third at least 

 twice, and the sixth and following more than four times as long as 

 broad. Pronotum quadrate, of about equal breadth with the head, the 

 margins, excepting the posterior, which is slightly convex, straight, the 

 angles scarcely rounded. Tegmina short ; wings wanting (?) Legs 

 moderately long, slender, third tarsal joint nearly or quite as long as 

 the first, the second very short, lobed beneath, the lobes passing be- 

 neath the base of the apical joint. Abdomen rather gibbous, enlarg- 

 ing in size, and especially in breadth, to beyond the middle, when it 

 rapidly narrows again ; the last segment alike in the two sexes, sim-
