A sufficient series of the longer winged form may show the necessity 

 of recognizing it as a geographic race. 



This is the first record of the species from New Mexico and one of 

 the few from west of Texas. The senior author has recorded it from 

 southern Arizona, and Snow has credited it to Oak Creek Canyon, 

 Coconino County, Arizona, 



EREMOPEDES Cockerell. 

 Eremopedes albofasciata Scudder and Cockerell. 



Four immature specimens, two of each sex, were taken at Aden, 

 July 21, in grass prairie land; a single immature female from Deming, 

 July 18, taken On rabbit weed, is also in the collection. The only 

 previous record of the species was that of the type from Mesilla Park. 



ATELOPLUS Scudder. 

 Ateloplus macroscelus'- 4 a. sp. 



Type : 9 ; El Paso, El Paso County, Texas. July 1 1 , 1907. (Hebar'd 

 and Rehn.) [Hebard Collection.] 



Allied to A. notatus Scudder and A. schwarzi Caudell, but differing 

 from both in the much more elongate caudal limbs and ovipositor and 

 the different color pattern. 



Size medium; form moderately elongate. Head quite short but 

 rather broad and deep; fastigium of the vertex rounding to the facial 

 fastigium which it touches, surface of the same not appreciably sulcate ; 

 eyes not prominent, subovate in outline; antennas slightly more than 

 twice the length of the bod}', proximal joint rather large, slightly 

 produced on the internal face. Pronotum with its dorsal length slightly 

 more than twice that of the exposed dorsum of the head, the dorsum 

 of the pronotum regularly arcuate in transverse section rounding into 

 the lateral lobes; cephalic margin of the dorsum subtruncate. caudal 

 margin very broadly and shallowly but distinctly obtuse-angulate 

 emarginate; when seen from the side the dorsal line of the pronotum 

 is nearly straight, no sellate tendency being present; lateral lobes 

 of the pronotum very considerably longer than deep, the ventral margin 

 obtuse-angulate with the caudal portion of the angle slightly arcuate- 

 emarginate. Tegmina present as the merest pads, hardly visible 

 caudad of the pronotal margin. Prosternal processes the merest 

 obtuse-angulate shoulders, in no sense spines. Abdomen with a 

 very blunt dorsal carina; terminal dorsal abdominal segment with 

 a considerable median impression which is folded ventrad; cerci 

 short, conical, acute; ovipositor about three-fourths the length of the 



24 Ma/cpoorce/l^?, having long legs.
