■of the lateral lobes of the abdomen and the marginal field of the 

 tegmina creamy white in intensive specimens; paired lateral lines 

 on the abdomen (in the usual position of pale lines in the genus) 

 contrasted with a wash of the doj-sal color on the proximo-ventral 

 portion of the abdomen. Head with narrow postocular lines and a 

 medio-longitudinal thread on the occiput and fastigium creamy 

 white, in intensive individuals the dorsal color covering much of the 

 postocular portion of the genge; eyes varying from dresden brown to 

 cinnamon brown; antennae ferruginous dorsad, ventral surface 

 mahogany red to chestnut. Pronotum with the caudal section of 

 the disk washed with auburn, continuations of the postocular lines, 

 converging to the transverse sulcus and diverging caudad of the same, 

 subobsolete near the caudal margin, varying from creamy white 

 to buff yellow; dorsal color more or less strongly clouding an obliquely 

 delimited dorsal section of the lateral lobes, ventral section of same 

 •creamy white. Tegmina with the discoidal and anal fields with a 

 blackish-brown base, over which the veins are outlined in ochraceous 

 orange, the greater portion of the sutural margin washed with hay's 

 russet. Distal half of the appendiculate lobe of the cerci infuscate 

 with the dorsal color in intensive individuals. Limbs varying from 

 old gold to olive lake, more or less generally infuscate with chestnut 

 brown, most decided ventrad and there linear in pattern; caudal 

 femora with a pair of fine blackish lines on the ventral portion of the 

 lateral face; tibise more or less lime green. 



Female. Dorsal color ranging from argus brown to dark mummy 

 brown; lateral color ranging from creamy white to dresden brown, 

 the latter in recessive individuals and there very poorly separated 

 from the dorsal shade. Head with pale lines less distinctly indicated 

 than in the male sex, the extreme intensive individual having the 

 greater portion of the head opaline green. In the average individuals 

 the abdomen has no decidedly indicated lateral bars dorsad margining 

 the dorsal color, but in the intensive specimens these bars are decided 

 creamy white, of variable width and the lateral base of the abdomen 

 is contrastingly washed with the dorsal color. Pronotum as in the 

 male, but nearly uniform in recessive individuals. Tegmina varying 

 from nearly uniform with the lateral color to blackish bro^vn, with the 

 venation of the lateral color, in the intensive extreme having the 

 •costal portion of the latter color. Ovipositor varying from citrine 

 to orange-citrin(^ distal portion infuscate in some specimens. Limbs 

 varying from viridine green (in this the femora pale bluish white 

 proximad) to cosse green, marked much as in the male, but with the
