Anaulacomera apicidentata, new species. (PL II, fig. 21.)
An inconspicuous green species apparently most nearly allied to A. dentata, to which species it runs out in Brunner's key. The cerci of the male, however, seem to distinguish the two species, the inner tooth in dentata being mesial while in the species here described it is apical.
Description (male).—Fastigium of the vertex sulcate dorsally, constricted mesially and apically a little elevated, meeting somewhat broadly the roundly pointed facial fastigium; front rounded, not laterally carinate, barely dimpled laterally. Pronotal disk flat but the lateral carinae broadly rounded, the lateral lobes about equally high as long. Tegmina and wings presenting no peculiarities. Anterior and intermediate tibiae rounded above and armed only with a small apical spine on the caudal margin, the intermediate one with a second very minute one near the base on the right leg only. Last dorsal segment of the abdomen roundly concave apically; supraanal plate rounded triangular ; cerci short and stout, about six times as long as basally wide, cylindrical, curved gently inward and armed near the tip on the inner side with a blunt triangular tooth, as shown at figure 21.
(female). Resembling the male. The ovipositor is uniformly curved upward and tapers in the apical fourth to a point, the basal three-fourths uniform in width, the margins of the apical half very finely serrate. The armature of the legs is as in the male except there is no basal spine on either of the intermediate tibiae.
Measurements.—Length : pronotum, male, female, 4 mm.; tegmina, male, 25 mm., female, 26 mm.; posterior femora, male, 18 mm., female, 15.5 mm.; cerci, male, 2 mm., female, 1.5 mm.; ovipositor, 8 mm. Width: tegmina at middle, male, 4.5 mm., female, 5 mm.; ovipositor mesially, 1.5 mm.
Described from two specimens: type male, September 11, 1906 ; allotype female, November 3, 1906. Both by Iconnicoff.
