conical tubercle al the muklle of its posterior mars^in ; eyes compressed, rectan^ulate wilh a stout bluntly 

 niammilliforni non-faceted corneal spine at the angle. PronoUiin teclale with distinctly rounded 

 dilation and a longitudinal median carina w hich is continuous to the apex of the abdomen. Tegmina 

 narrow, eloiii^ate, more or less SLÜ:)h3-aline, tessellate, striolate or guttäte with brownish or yellowish. 

 Wings hyaline, costa and apex fretiucnth' colored. Supra-anal plate oi female bioader tlian long, tri- 

 angular. Ceici of female foliaceous, extending bej'ond the subgenital plate of the abdomen by the 

 greater portion of their length, widening from the base to the apex, which is divided b}' a shallow 

 notch into two points. Anterior limbs long and slender; coxas expanded along the apical fourth of their 

 anterior crest into a conspicuous dentate foliaceous lobe; femora nearly straight, weakly arched below, 

 with acute genicular lobes and a conspicuous supragenicular lobe, aimed below on the outer margin 

 with six spines, on the inner with a more numerous alternating series, discoidal spines three in number; 

 tibiae as broad as deep, above terete, straight and of uniform width. Posterior limbs veiy short; femora 

 stout, ver\" slighth- fusiform, prismatic, with four strong crests and accessoiA' ridges, the posterior 

 ventral crest foliaceous, genicular and supragenicular lobes long, slender, no genicular spines present; 

 tibiae rather longer than the femora, above terete, belo\\' bicristate; hist joint of tarsi not quite so long 

 as the combined length of the three succeeding joints.

Characters. — l'"emale sex alone known. Bod\- long, rather delicate, bacilliform. Integument 

 granulöse and spinulose, especialh" on the prothoiax. Head rather depressed; vertex slighth' declivent, 

 Its median lobe separated from the submedian lobes by two longitudinal depressions of the disk, the 

 latter triangularly produced posteriorlv and dorsally so as to form an occipital cavit)' for the reception 

 (A the anterior end of the pronotum ; ocelli large, on a considerable prominence, which bears a spike-like 

 erect tooth at the middle of its posterior margin and is separated from the vertex by a transverse 

 groove; eyes narrow, oval, convex laterally, produced dorsalh' and armed at the upper and outer angle 

 wilh a large stout blunt, somewhat curved digitiform non-faceted corneal spine. Pronotum tectate, with 

 a distinct median carina which is continued to the apex of the abdomen. Abdominal segments with the 

 ventral faces produced posteriorly, the first to seventh produced in the middle into a delicate filamentous 

 process, the last into a broadly concave-truncate triangle with arcuate sides, feici broadly foliaceous. 

 thirteen-jointed, broadest at the antepenultimate segment, the tlorsai angle of the last foiu' segments 

 produced so that the dorsal margins are bluntly dentate, apices bifid. Organs of fiight extending nearly 

 to the apex of the abdomen. Tegmina semi-opaque, subcoriaceous, subequal ; costal field irregularl)' 

 reticulate; anterior branch of discoidal vein simple and unbranched, posterior branch of discoidal vein
