532 FAMILY VII. TETTIGONIID^E. THE KATYDIDS. 



femora short, but slightly surpassing the abdomen, female, their 

 lower carinse armed with three to seven short, stout spines. Male 

 with apex of supra-anal plate very broadly concave or eniarginate, 

 the projection each side acute; cerci much as in NeoconoceplKtlus : 

 subgeuital plate with a narrow median notch ; styles short, broad, 

 concave above, their tips bluntly rounded. Ovipositor more than 

 one-half longer than hind femora, slightly widened and feebly de- 

 curved beyond the middle, its apex very acute. Other characters 

 as in Neoconocephalus. 



But one species of the genus occurs in the United States.

 rugosely punctate, more strongly so in female. Tegmina dimorphic in 

 length, in the more common brachypterous form not reaching tips of hind 

 femora, slightly longer than abdomen, male, shorter than abdomen, female, 

 their tips acute or narrowly rounded; in macropterous form surpassing 

 hind femora 12 15 mm. and extending far beyond tip of abdomen in both 

 sexes, their apices rounded; wings usually shorter than tegmina, equal to 

 latter in macropterous individuals. Other characters as given under the 

 generic heading. Length of body, $, 2729, $, 3943; of fastigium, $,

Tappahannock, Va., July 14 (Fox) ; Citrus Center, Fla. 

 (Bar is). Scudder's type was a unique male taken at Cedar Keys, 

 Fla., June 4 by E. A. Schwarz. This was the only specimen known 

 until 11)05, when R. & H. described a single female from Chokolos- 

 kee, Fla., under the name of Conoceplinlus Jwploinachus. A sec- 

 ond male was taken by them July 12, 1912 "from saw-grass grow- 

 ing in knee-high water on the edge of the everglades" at Detroit, 

 Fla., and was properly placed (1914c, 405) under Scudder's name. 

 The only other Florida locality recorded is Citrus Center, where 

 Davis secured two males on May 2, but he has a male taken at 

 Parish, August 25, in which the tegmina are 40 mm. in length. 



Outside of Florida the species is recorded only from Wilming-
