more abbre\ iated than in the preceding species ; they are more acute at the tips than in the female,
and the crepitacnhim is of hirge size. In the only male which I have seen, the pale spots on the
tegmina are entirely confliient, but in the female figured by Donovan, they form three large pale
patches almost as in A. iiuperialis, except that the hind margin is reddish-broTO ; the anal plate of
the male is conical and bifid at the tip, ivith two short filamentous processes on the upper side of the
extremity of the body. The clypeus and the base of the upper hp are marked with brown in both
sexes, and the sternal plates are broad, simple, and birif-coloured. •

Pliylloptera with the body of a luteous or fulrous colour tmged with green, the tegmina broad, green, the posterior
or dorsal slender margin fulvous -nith minute black dots, the costa near the base with a notch, the bind wiugs not
longer than the tegmina, of a fulvous colom- varied with transverse piu'phsh red bai's along the transverse veins, the
ovipositor short, broad, recurved and subserrated, the tip darker colom-ed, tho hind tibioe scarcely spiuose.

OBSEEVATIOXS.—The face is convex and perpendicular; between the bases of the antennoe is a very
small rounded tubercle ; the pronotum is broader than long, not distinctly carinated at the sides ; the
tibia; are slender, greenish, -nith slender black Hnes ; the tegmina are dilated and rounded on the
posterior margin, not glossy, of a grass-green colour, and when seen through a lens, are found to be
thickly iiTorated with very minute red spots ; the veins (except the few principal longitudinal ones)
are scarcely discernible by the naked eye. The crepitaculum of the male is not strongly veined ; its
posterior mai-gin, especially in the right wing cover, is slightly angulated. The terminal joint of the
palpi is dilated at the tip and obliquely truncate.
