line before the base and two other larger ones; scutellum more or less broadly marked with black ; 
tegmina reddish-brown, unicolorous; abdomen fuscous above, with the segments posteriorly and usually 
the apex crimson; underside yellowish or reddish- or brownish-yellow ; sternum in part black; legs

Long. 7-8 millim.; lat. ad hum. 23 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Sierra de las Aguas Escondidas and Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 to 9500 
feet (H. H. Smith). 
This is a very distinct species; it is in some points allied to 7. appropinguans. 
33. Tettigonia ignobilis, sp.n. (Tab. XVI. fig. 5.) 
Parva, subparallela, obscura, supra rufo-brunnea vel brunnea, testaceo griseoque plus minusve indistincte 
irrorata; capite sat longo producto, triangulari, figurato; metopidio nigro, flavo-notato ; pronoto brevi, 
antice dilutiori, lateribus fere parallelis, basi levissime sinuata; scutello figurato; tegminibus griseo 
irroratis; alis fumosis ; corpore subtus nigro, apice testaceo ; pedibus flavo-testaceis. 
A small, obscure, subparallel species, with the upper surface reddish-brown or brown, sprinkled with minute 
testaceous and greyish spots; head produced, triangular, with darker and lighter lines forming a pattern, 
which is often indistinct or almost wanting, eyes scarcely prominent ; pronotum short, with the sides 
nearly parallel, the front border and the lateral margins lighter and the rest darker, very finely but 
distinctly sculptured; scutellum dark, with a longitudinal testaceous line at the apex and two others 
at the base, which are often circular and enclose a dark ocellate space ; tegmina with minute greyish 
spots, which are sometimes indistinct, the pattern being usually continued to the extreme apex; 
underside black, with the apex, and the ventral segment posteriorly very narrowly, yellow; legs 
yellow-testaceous. 
Long. 5-6 millim. ; lat. ad hum. vix 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme and Chilpancingo in Guerrero, Cuernavaca in Morelos 
(H. H. Smith). 
A specimen from Cuernavaca is figured. 
34. Tettigonia superfiua, sp.n. (Tab. XVI. fig. 6.) 
Sat robusta, fusiformis, viridis, testaceo-variegata, vel dilute testacea vel albida, fusco, rufo-brunneo, et griseo 
variegata ; capite producto, triangulari, oculis magnis, prominulis ; pronoto capite haud longiori, antice 
' angustato et impresso, margine anteriori et plerumque lateribus dilutioribus ; tegminibus nitidis; corpore 
subtus flavo vel plus minusve nigro; pedibus testaceis, tarsis ad partem fuscatis. — 
Rather robust, fusiform, green, with the front parts more or less testaceous, or light testaceous-white variegated 
with fuscous, reddish-brown, and greyish; head produced, distinctly triangular, with large and rather 
prominent eyes; pronotum not longer than the head, narrowed and impressed in front, with the anterior 
part lighter; tegmina variable in colour; underside yellow, or more or less black, pygoter yellow ; legs 
testaceous, the tarsi more or less infuscate. 
Long. 6 millim.; lat, ad hum. 2 millim, 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith.) 
This insect is allied to 7. ignobilis, but it is differently coloured and less parallel, 
with the head broader and the eyes more prominent. The coloration, however, is 
variable and it is possible there may be two species mixed, but I am unable to separate 
them.
