trunk, vicinity of the anal vein and part of the anal field of the 

 tegmina, indicated on the abdomen only by a lineation margining 

 the pale lines dorsad; in the intensive males coloring the occiput, the 

 dorsum of the pronotum, greater portion of the tegmina and gener- 

 ally the dorsum of the abdomen except mesad. The tone of the dorsal 

 color varies from claret brown to maroon, in the intensive extreme 

 blackish laterad on the abdomen. Lateral color in the male varying 

 from lettuce green to oil green, in the recessive extreme coloring the 

 middle of the occiput and the greater portion of the dorsum of the 

 abdomen with oil green, in the intensive extreme the latter is repre- 

 sented by a median section of oil yellow, occasional individuals 

 having this mars yellow and antique brown. The pale pattern 

 varies in tone from flat white to pale orange-yellow (on the abdomen 

 only), occasionally tinged with greenish, the pattern coloring the 

 usual areas and in the intensive individuals almost as wide on the 

 pronotum as on the tegmina, the ventral margin of the lateral lobes 

 edged with the same in intensive specimens. Head with a medio- 

 longitudinal occipito-fastigial thread of the pale color, faintly tinged 

 with the encompassing color; broad vertical infra-ocular and infra- 

 antennal bars of the pale pattern rather strongly (intensive) or weakly 

 (recessive) contrasted; antennae of the dorsal color (intensive) or 

 orange (recessive); eyes varying from auburn to bay. Tegmina 

 with the ground color of the discoidal field and much of the anal 

 field blackish brown, the overlying venation and solid paler section 

 of the anal field of the lateral color (recessive) or mars yellow (inten- 

 sive). Abdomen with the dorsal section of the segments more or 

 less decidedly edged distad with the pale pattern; disto-dorsal 

 abdominal segment largely of the dorsal color; cerci varying from 

 greenish proximad and weak mahogany red distad to entirely orange 

 rufous. Limbs of the lateral color, not at all (recessive) or more or 

 less (intensive) washed with burnt sienna on the tibiae and the 

 distal extremities of the femora; genicular region of the caudal femora 

 blackish in intensive individuals; pattern of the pagina of the caudal 

 femora restricted, decided in intensive and weak in recessive indi- 

 viduals, ventro-lateral face of caudal femora flat white in intensive 

 specimens; foramina of cephalic tibiae whitish with a seal brown 

 figure. 



The recessive females are nearly uniform old gold to biscay green, 

 passing into civette green on the limbs, the head pale green yellow 

 with no markings except a faint postocular pale bar and an edging 

 of claret brown dorsad to the same; pronotum more or less parrot
