iana, while two males and two females belong to the true texana type. 

 The remainder of the series represent the numerous intermediate 

 phases between the two extremes, except one male from Pasadena 

 which has the dorsum dull maroon, the lateral lobes almost entirely- 

 pale greenish yellow and no broad postocular bar or broken remnants 

 of the same present, the pale lateral carina? being merely edged with 

 dark laterad. 



Specimens from the beach localities, Pasadena and Echo Mountain, 

 are paler in color than the others. 



At Tia Juana the species occurred on rocky hillsides, while at Coro- 

 nado Beach it swarmed on dry grasses. At Alamitos Bay it was 

 taken on dunes, and at Miramar found very active but not common 

 back of the low beach dunes. 



Ageneotettix australis Brunei-.? 



On August 12, at Cima, California, this species was quite common in 

 tumbleweed along the railroad track, a series of twenty-six males 

 and seven females being taken. When compared with specimens from 

 southern Arizona, i.e., Huachuca and Tucson Mountains, the Cima 

 series is uniformly smaller, the difference being less appreciable, 

 however, in the male than in the female. 



The coloration of the series is rather subdued, although the bars on 

 the dorsal surfaces of the caudal femora and the lateral carina? of the 

 pronotum are marked in all the specimens. The caudal tibia? vary 

 somewhat in the exact shade of color, but all possess a distinct ochra- 

 ceous proximal annulus. 



There is considerable individual variation in the length of the 

 tegmina and wings, some having them slightly but distinctly exceeding 

 the tips of the caudal femora, others have them distinctly but not 

 greatly shorter than the tips of the femora, the average being very 

 slightly shorter than the femoral tips. 



This is the first record of the species from California. 



Ageneotettix sierranus n. sp. 



Types: cT and 9 ; Summit House, Madera County, California. 

 Altitude, 3,200 feet. September 3, 1907. Collected by M. Hebard. 

 [Hebard Collection.] 



7 A single short-winged female of this genus from Cuyamaca, San Diego 

 County, California (October 1, 1900; G. W. Dunn), in the Academy Collection, 

 has been examined and is referred provisionally to A. occidental^ , although the 

 status of this form is in the authors' opinion very doubtful. It is quite possible 

 that the long-winged forms are more or less completely dimorphic.
