Scudder.] 94 [November 6, 
and very obscurely with a slight dash of fuscous. Fastigium short, 
blunt, equal beyond the narrowing base, well rounded at tip, extend- 
ing beyond the front edge of eyes only two-thirds the distance of the 
space between the eyes; upper surface tumid, very faintly scabrous 
like the rest of the head; lower surface forming a depending, blunt, 
conical projection, separated by a pretty wide frontal incisure from 
the tuberculate tip of the face. Pronotum profusely punctate, the 
median incision V-shaped, the posterior three times as large as the 
anterior lobe, the latter expanding regularly but very slightly back- 
ward, the lateral carine distinct, the deflected lobes much as in the 
preceding species. ‘Tegmina long and very slender, the extremity 
rounded with the slightly produced tip before the middle. Fore and 
middle femora unarmed ; hind femora exceedingly slender with eight 
to ten distant delicate spines on about the middle third of the under 
surface ; hind legs very long, the tibiae nearly as long as the body, 
ovipositor very long, nearly as long as the tegmina. 
Length of body, 31 mm.; of fastigium beyond the front edge of 
eyes, 1.8 mm.; of pronotum, 7mm.; of tegmina, 37 mm.; of hind 
tibiz, 28.5 mm.; of ovipositor, 32. mm. 1 ¢%. Georgia, H. K.

This is the slenderest species of this group of Conocephalus 
known tome. It resembles the much shorter legged C. dissimilis 
Serv., a species which I formerly confounded with C. obtusus Burm. 
100. Conocephalus clausus. A large and stout species, 
brown, the disk of the pronotum darker, with narrow lateral stripes 
of darker brown, the tip of the fastigium, above rather than in front, 
marked with fuscous. Fastigium large and tumid, constricted at the 
base just in front of the eyes, beyond subglobose, the whole of equal 
length and width counting from beyond the front edge of the eyes, 
and a little narrower than the space between the eyes; top of the 
head scabrous, including the middle of the fastigium as far as the tip 
of the first antennal joint; the rest of the front and sides as well as the 
under surface smooth and shining; viewed from in front, the lower part 
forms a depending, stout, blunt-tipped cone, which is attingent with 
the short tubercular tip of the face, completely closing the frontal 
incisure; face sparsely punctate. Pronotum rather sparsely and ir- 
regularly punctate, the posterior lobe about two and a half times 
longer than the anterior, the hind border nearly straight, the lateral 
caring apparent only on the posterior half of the posterior lobe, the 
deflected lobes unusually vertical. Tegmina rather long, somewhat 
broader than usual, well rounded at tip, the apical curve in advance
