624 FAMILY VII. TETTIGONIID2B. THE CAMEL CRICKETS. 



of hind femora are much swollen at base, a worthless character, 

 used by Scudder in his key. One of the females is a typical 

 macnlatus; the other more robust and with inner valves of oviposi- 

 tor with but three teeth and terminal hook is a specimen of C. 

 rehebi described below. C. bicolor was based upon a single im- 

 mature male of C. macnlatus taken at Bee Spring, Ky. and now in 

 the Cambridge collection. 



293. CEUTHOPHILUS BREVIPES Scudder, 1862, 434. Short-legged Camel 

 Cricket. 



Small for the genus; compact, robust. Pale dull brown, thickly 

 marked with rather large yellowish spots, these arranged in a cross-row on 

 each abdominal segment and scattered irregularly over the hind femora, 

 aggregated near the knee to nearly form a pale ring; thoracic segments 

 less mottled than abdomen, the pronotum sometimes with a narrow median 

 pale stripe; face, palpi and under surface uniform dull yellow. Fore and 

 middle legs subequal. Hind femora very short and stout, both lower 

 carinse armed with 10 to 15 very minute unequal teeth, male, almost un- 

 armed, female. Hind tibia? slightly longer than femora, their inner mid- 

 dle apical spur almost as long as basal joint of tarsi. Supra-anal plate of 

 male, membranous, triangular, prolonged between the cerci, its sides and 

 apical margin subangulate; infracercal or podigal plates, strongly devel- 

 oped, oblong-spatulate, curved inward, their tips attingent; subgenital plate 

 deeply cleft, its lobes thin, membranous, contiguous or feebly overlapping, 

 their tips separated to form a small apical notch, each tip broadly and ob- 

 liquely rounded. Ovipositor with apical half very slender; inner valves 

 with four very short, slender, subcylindrical teeth, the basal one the 

 smaller, obtuse, remote from the second; hook strongly curved, acute (PI. 

 VII, fc.) Length of body, #,14, 9, 15.5; of pronotum, # and 9, 4 4.5; 

 of fore femora, 5.5 6 of hind femora, #,11, 9, 13; of hind tibiae, #, 12, 

 9, 13.5; of ovipositor, 8 8.5 mm. 



Described from Grand Manan Isle, Maine- Known elsewhere 

 definitely only from St. Johns, Xew Brunswick. The Yigo Co., 

 Ind. specimens, identified and recorded by Scudder, are C. scclusus 

 mid C. tencbniruni ; while the ones recorded by Walden, on my au- 

 thority, from North Madison, Conn., are ('. iiHiritliifiis and C'. 

 nigricans. 



294. CEUTHOPHILUS TENEBRARUM Scudder, 1894, 70. 



Size medium, form slender. Above reddish-yellow, thickly maculate 

 with large blackish blotches; these arranged each side on the hind mar- 

 gins of thoracic segments, leaving a broad, pale, median stripe; this usu- 

 ally bordered below on front half of pronotum by a black line; abdomen 

 mottled with black and round yellow dots the latter usually in transverse 

 rows; face, antenna 3 and fore and middle legs dusky or brownish-yellow; 

 outer face of hind femora often with a broad fuscous stripe in addition to 

 the usual oblique bars; hind tibia? tinged with fuscous. Vertex ending in 

 a blunt, convex triangle. Fore and middle tibia 3 slender, subequal, one-
