tranoiied on one side, indistinctly so on the other. The divideus gives 

 ofP an anterior branch which is connected both with its own main stem 

 and with the posterior nhiar, thus furnishing the only instance known 

 to me in which this vein is branched. The main stem of the plicate runs 

 to the posterior margin direct. 



Wings pellucid, increasingly from the base very pale smoky- quartz- 

 colour, with the opaque anterior margin, the longitudinal veins, and 

 the very fine, though very distinct, transverse veiulets, all increasing- 

 ly from the base, and with streaks on the apical ends of the veins of 

 the anterior area, van dyke-brown. 



The fore femora, which have three pale rings especially well marked 

 on the inner and under sides, are armed below on the outer edge with 6 

 spines and on the inner with 11 ; and the tibiaa with 3 on the outer 

 edge and 7 on the inner edge. 



The dorsal crests of the four posterior femora are slightly produced 

 triangularly opposite to the bend in the lateral ridges ; and the iipper 

 or posterior ventral foliaceous lobe is divided by a narrow rounded emar- 

 gination into two lobules, one much smaller and proximal, the other 

 much larger and distal, which are again subdivided by angular notches 

 into two obliquely pointed lobes. 



The tipper angle of the jjeuultimate joint of the cerci though acute 

 is not produced. 



Total length 93 millims. ; height of head 4, breadth between the 

 points of the corneal spines 6' 75, length of corneal spines 1"25 ; of prono- 

 tum 28 75, of which the anterior and posterior lobes are respectively 

 5'75 and 23, breadth at supracoxal dilatation 4, at hinder end 4-25 ; 

 length of meso- and metanotum with seg. med. 16 ; length of abdomen 

 without seg. med. 47, breadth at middle of 4th seg. 4, at apex of 6th 

 seg. 6"25 ; length of tegmina 47'5, breadth at middle 8-25 ; length of 

 wings 42"5, breadth 19 ; length of fore coxa 14-5, femora 19-5, breadth 

 2 ; length of tibia from base to insertion of tarsus 13 ; of intermediate 

 femur 7-5, tibia 9-5, 1st tarsal joint 2 ; of posterior femur 8-25, tibia 11, 

 1st tarsal joint 2-25 ; of antennre (absent) ; of cei-ci 8, breadth 2,

 (? 9 . Smaller. Colouring the same. 



The frontal hoi'n is truncate and in the female distinct bifid. 



In the tegmina the main stem of the plicata runs to the margin 

 after anastomosis with the dividens, which is simple and unbranched. 



The fore femora are armed below with 2 5 — 5, t? 5 — 0 spines only 

 on the outer edge and with ? 10 — 11, c? 11 — 11 on the inner; and the
