Scudder.] 66 [November 6, 
edges blunt, and either slightly (2) or distinctly (¢) divergent and 
then convergent anteriorly ; frontal ridge broad, nearly equal, slightly 
larger below than above, tumid (?) or flat (¥) above, with a row of 
puncte on either side, narrowly and rather slightly suleate at and 
just below the ocellus. Pronotum rather uniform, subequal, the 
posterior lobe broadening slightly, especially in the ¢, and 
subpunctate; the median carina distinct throughout, but much 
more slight on the anterior than on the posterior lobe; lateral carine 
tolerably distinct throughout, but blunt; transverse sulci of anterior 
lobe distinct throughout, unusually sinuous, not severing the median 
carina. ‘Tegmina a little longer than the body. Terminal ventral 
seoment of ¢ abdomen with its posterior margin elevated and 
notched; supraanal plate rounded triangular, the extreme apex 
excised, fully as broad as long, the’ marginal apophyses of the pre- 
ceding segment reduced to a pair of minute and blunt triangular 
teeth; anal cerci thickened and tumid at base, immediately narrow- 
ing to half the width, almost immediately broadening again, curving 
inward while they run backward and upward, and forking, the upper 
branch directed upward and inward, nearly as large as the basal 
expansion, subtriangular, a little longer than broad, compressed and 
apically rounded; the other arm much longer, nearly.as long as the 
rest of the appendage, slender, tapering, but bluntly pointed 
and directed backward and inward, a little arched from beneath; 
basal tooth of the lower valves of ovipositor of the 2 large, trian- 
cular, sharp, as long as broad. 
The general color is a dark griseous, the vertex of the head 
marked in black and dull yellow in a somewhat radiate fashion, the 
whole face and sides of head brownish olive or livid yellow, flecked 
more or less abundantly with black; the antenne are pale dirty 
yellow, becoming infuscated toward the tip; behind the eye is 
a broad black band, often edged with yellow above, which also tray- 
erses the upper half or less of the anterior half of the deflected 
lobes of the pronotum, and is often enlivened by a small pale quad- 
rate patch in the centre of the deflected lobes; the rest of the latter 
varies from yellow to brown, palest next the margins; the upper 
surface of the pronotum varies a good deal, but is usually grise- 
ous, often with a median belt of dirty yellow or ferruginous, edged 
on the front portion of the posterior lobe by a pair of oblique, 
crescentic, longitudinal or converging patches of black. Tegmina 
cinereous, with alternate minute blocks of yellow and blackish fus-
