On the Southeastern Species of Neotettix. 



For the past four years the problems presented by the genus 

 Neotettix have been seriously considered by us, but previous to this 

 writing we never felt sufficiently well equipped with material to 

 make any final statements regarding the relationship of the "species" 

 which have been described under this genus. Before us at this 

 writing we have considerably over six hundred specimens from the 

 eastern States, or more properly from the region east of the Alle- 

 ghanies from New Jersey and Pennsylvania to Georgia and peninsular 

 Florida. The following "species" from the eastern United States 

 have been referred to or described in this genus:

1905, p. 34, pi. I, figs. 3 and 4, (1905). [Miami, Florida.] 



Morse 25 first synonymized rotundifrons under bolivari and suggested 

 the probability of the latter being synonymous with femoratus. The 

 present authors described minutus in 1905, basing it on the then
