lobe three times as long as the anterior and twice as broad as its ex- 
treme breadth, the lateral carine distinct but not sharp, the deflected 
lobes pretty nearly vertical, but not so much so as in the preceding 
species. ‘Tegmina very slender, the apex rounded, a little produced, 
the tip below the middle. Fore and middle femora with one or two 
inconspicuous spines beneath; hind femora very slender with small 
distant spines on the apical half or more; hind legs short, the tibie 
being about half as long as the tegmina. Last dorsal segment of the 
g triangularly produced on either side between the cerci, each tri- 
angle less than half as long as broad and produced at apex into a 
minute short finger; supraanal plate small, triangular, bluntly 
rounded at tip; superior tooth of anal cerci incurved and strongly 
arched, with a fine long point; inferior tooth conico-cylindrical, bent 
abruptly inward and forward, straight, blunt tipped, but bearing at 
lower edge of apex a minute spine; styles very slender, cylindrical, 
as long as the lower tooth of the cerci. 
Length of body, 28.5 mm.; of fastigium beyond the front of the 
eyes, 2.75 mm.; of pronotal disk, 7 mm.; of tegmina, 35 mm.; of 
hind tibiae, 17mm. 1 ¢ (from alcohol). California, Jan. 20, Dyer. 
This species is closely related to the last, from which it is readily 
distinguished by the greater length of the pronotum, as also by the 
longer hind legs and differently fashioned fastigium, which at first 
_ sight appears to have much the same form. With the last two species 
it forms a peculiar group of Conocephalus, remarkable for the slender 
form, great length of fastigium, flattened eyes and vertical declivity 
of the deflected lobes of the pronotum ; in its comparatively shorter 
fastigium, longer pronotum and less vertical deflection of the lateral 
lobes, this species make a passage to the group to which C. ensiger 
Harr. belongs. 
96. Conocephalus malivolans. A medium sized species, 
moderately slender, brown; the sides yellowish brown, the top of 
the head infuscated and the disk of the pronotum with a pair of 
blackish fuliginous, narrow, lateral stripes which extend a short way 
upon the base of the closed tegmina, which have a few blackish 
fuscous dots scattered about ; the tips of the hind femora and, to a 
less degree, the whole of the hind tibie are slightly infuscated, the 
latter also marked beneath the base of the black spines with fuscous 
dots. Fastigium of moderate size but unusually slender, extending 
in front of the eyes only as far as the width between the eyes; at its 
very base it is abruptly narrowed, forming beyond it a subequal
