ROESMA GRANDIS, new species 
PLATE 14, Fiaurres 390-396 
Female: Length, 11.3 mm.; tegmen, 8.6 mm. 
Vertex in middle two and a quarter times as long as broad; frons 
longer than broad (3.2:1), shallowly tectiform from base to level 
of eyes, then flattened to apex, median carina distinct except near 
apex, where it is feeble, lateral carinae distad of level of eyes. Teg- 
mina with Sc with two veins at apex, R with four, M with eight, 
Cu;, with three, Cu;, with two, costal cell devoid of transverse veins. 
Pale green; eyes red, posttibial spines piceous at tip, a pale yellow- 
ish band along costal margin, genitalia fuscous in sclerotized parts. 
Anal segment short, rather narrow, produced laterally distad of 
anus into rounded lobes. Ovipositor with lateral styles elongate, 
dorsal margin almost straight and horizontal, apical margin curved, 
obliquely truncate, ventral margin deeply excavated near base, an 
irregular row of five teeth at apex passing into a regular row of nine . 
teeth along ventral margin; second valvulae thin, narrow, bladelike; 
first valvulae narrow, very slightly upturned, dorsal margin straight, 
or very slightly concave, ventral margin convex, a row of five small 
teeth on dorsal margin, two larger teeth directed obliquely upwards 
at apex, two small teeth on ventral margin below the former. 
Egg subcylindrical, rounded at one pole, obliquely truncate with 
a thickened opercular rim, a thick rounded semitransparent mem- 
branous layer above it, with a minute chorionic process on uppermost 
edge; 1.2 mm. long, 0.86 mm. broad. 
Described from one female taken by the writer in St. John’s Valley,

spines. Tegmina large, hyaline, costal membrane traversed by numer-
