therein. It is quite evident that considerable individual variation 

 is present in the species, this being pronounced in the Dallas repre- 

 sentation, which is the only series of any size. Too little material 

 is available to consider possible geographic variation in size. 



Color Notes. — But two of the specimens before us have been stuffed, 

 these (both males) forming the basis of most of the following notes. 

 As usual there is a dorsal color, a lateral color, and paired pale lateral 

 lines in the male, while in the female the dorsal and lateral colors are 

 nearly or quite uniform and the pale lines hardly or but weakly 

 indicated. 



Lateral and ventral color of male ranging from lumiere green to 

 apple green, in unstuffed specimens ranging to old gold. Dorsal 

 color consisting of an overlying tint running from chestnut through 

 burnt sienna to orange rufous (in unstuffed specimens), covering the 

 lateral portions of occiput, all or nearly all of disk of pronotum and 

 lateral portions of dorsum of abdomen. Pale paired lines in male 

 extending from eye to base of cercus, ranging from pale viridine 

 yellow to creamy white. Head with fastigium and occiput bearing 

 a narrow medio-longitudinal line of the color of the pale lines, finely 

 bordered with lines of the dorsal color; eyes ochraceous tawny to liver 

 l)rown, crossed obliquely by an irregular slightly darker line. Prono- 

 tum in some specimens with the color dilute caudo-laterad, in tone 

 approaching the lateral color, the pure dorsal color being restricted 

 to a median band; lateral lobes more or less suffused dorso-caudad 

 with the dorsal color; ventral margins edged with the color of the 

 pale lateral lines. Tegmina with the marginal field of the color of 

 the pale lateral lines, humeral trunk chestnut, discoidal field and 

 large part of the anal field blackish brown, the venation varying 

 from buff yellow to neva green, the latter tone only present on the 

 discoidal field, the venation of the proximal half of anal field in all 

 specimens approaching buff yellow. Dorsum of abdomen with the 

 median section very close to the lateral color, the margins of all the 

 segments finely and closely beaded with the dorsal color on an 

 edging of the tone of the pale lateral bars. Limbs with the femora of 

 the lateral color, distad becoming infuscate with ochraceous-orange, 

 the tibiae entirely of the latter color; cephalic tibiae with the vicinity 

 of the foramina narrowly lined with blackish, a disto-genicular area 

 on the median tibiae more or less marked with the same, tarsi of the 

 same limbs more or less clouded with bone brown. Caudal femora 

 with distal eighth more or less solidly blackish brown, pattern on 

 external face more or less distinct in all, medio-longitudinal in
