Hab. In Jamaica. B.M. 



Elongate, subcylindrical, pale brownish buff. The male 

 slender ; the eyes prominent ; head with three fine longitu- 

 dinal lines on the crown, and one on each side behind the 

 eyes. Mesothorax short. Tegmina small, rather ovate ; 

 carina forming an elevated rounded lobe near the base. 

 Antennae and legs grey, much varied with black. Wings 

 slightly stained with brown ; costal area brown, with the 

 fore edge darker brown ; principal vein in the latter furcate 

 near the base in both sexes. Abdomen with the seventh 

 and eighth segments short, with a dark furcate mark on each 

 side ; the ninth larger, subquadrate, slightly emarginated at 

 its apex ; anal styles deflexed, obtuse ; three terminal ven- 

 tral segments but slightly swollen, agreeing in length with 

 the dorsal ones. 



Female much larger and more robust. The antennae 

 extend to beyond the middle of the abdomen ; at first 

 sight they appear to be only 23-jointed, but the last ten 

 joints are multiarticulate, so that these organs, in fact, 

 consist of about 70 joints. Crown of head with three 

 dark longitudinal lines, the middle one strongest. The 

 pro- and mesonotum pale at the sides, with a dark median 

 line ; anterior division of the metanotum with a conical 

 dark mark in the middle. Mesonotum granulose. Teg- 

 mina subquadrate, narrowed at the base ; carina strongly 

 arched and elevated. Wings semitransparent, with pale 

 luteous-brown veins ; costal area pale luteous brown ; chief 

 vein furcate. Abdomen simple ; three terminal segments 

 narrowed ; anal styles porrected ; sixth ventral segment 

 trifid at its extremity. Operculum moderately swollen, ex- 

 tending to the extremity of the abdomen. Legs rather 

 short and simple ; tarsi short, with the basal joint not longer 

 than the three following.
