Males from Wades, Cotulla, and Carrizo Springs have the pronotum 

 slightly longer, tegmina slightly shorter, and femora very slightly 

 shorter than Lyford males. Females from Carrizo Springs have the 

 general size slightly less, the pronotum appreciably longer and 

 ovipositor distinctly longer than in Lyford individuals of the same 

 sex. The most striking variation in measurements is in the length 

 of the ovipositor, which varies geographically more than individually, 

 the Carrizo Springs females having this actually and proportionately^ 

 far exceeding the measurement of the Lyford specimens. 



Color Notes. — The following notes have been based wholly on 

 material which was stuffed in the field or which we have every reason 

 to believe has retained its original coloration. The recessive and 

 intensive extremes are considerably different — in fact, decidedly 

 different in the male sex. Instead of describing a dorsal and lateral 

 color, it seems best in the present species to speak of the tones as a 

 general color, a pronotal wash, a pale pattern, and an abdominal 

 infuscation. 



General color of male varying from cinnamon buff to yellow ochre, 

 passing in certain individuals to apple green. The pronotal wash 

 varies from uniform with the general color through sanford's brown 

 to claret brown, the area covered by the same consisting of the 

 occiput, disk of the pronotum, more or less of the dorso-cephalic and 

 dorso-caudal portions of the lateral lobes of the same, the tegminal 

 humeral trunk and more or less of the discoidal field and vicinitj^ 

 of the anal vein of the tegmina. The pale pattern consists of the 

 usual postocular bars outlining the disk of the pronotum, the greater 

 portion of the margins of the lateral lobes, the marginal field of the 

 tegmina, paired lateral bars on the abdomen, transverse edgings on
