Of this elegant species I have only seen a single speci- 

 men, which I regard as a female with some doubt. The 

 anterior part of the body is grass-green, with purplish- 

 brown markings, the mesothorax and abdomen being lu- 

 teous brown. The head is oblong and green, with a cir- 

 cular yellow patch between the eyes surrounded by a black 

 ring, and having a slender dark line down its middle ; the 

 hind part of the head is marked with seven longitudinal 

 pale yellow lines. The antennse are reddish brown, the tips 

 of the joints darker, basal joint yellow. The pro- and me- 

 sothorax are green, with several dark purplish-brown longi- 

 tudinal lines with slender yellow ones between them, the 

 sides of the latter grass-green. The tegmina are elongate- 

 ovate ; the carina scarcely elevated in the middle ; the inner 

 margin, and a patch extending from it to the middle of the 

 carina, of a purplish-brown colour. The wings are large and 

 white, the longitudinal veins slightly fulvous ; the costal 

 area has its anterior half grass-green, the posterior half 

 yellowish, with irregular purplish-brown patches ; the me- 

 dian vein is furcate. The legs are short and simple ; they 

 are greenish-luteous coloured, with the tips of the femora 

 and tibiae dusky. The abdomen is long, and of a luteous- 

 brown colour ; the three terminal joints are rather short, 

 and gradually attenuated, with the anal styles porrected 

 and obtuse : the operculum is not at all prominent, and 

 scarcely extends beyond the extremity of the seventh dorsal 

 segment ; it is pointed at the tip, and is followed by two 

 flattened plates united by a straight line down the middle, 

 and these again by an entire, oval, slender membraue.
