An examination of the above series and material from the north- 

 eastern States shows that as a rule the fastigium is blunter in the 

 more southern specimens, particularly in the female sex. Occasional 

 individuals from Georgia localities have the angle of this same region 

 similar to that found in Pennsylvania and New Jersey specimens, 

 but by far the majority show a distinct broadening of the fastigium. 

 The size varies individually in any considerable series and there 

 appears to be no geographic tendency in this feature. 



There is a slight preponderance of the green phase, while the 

 brown individuals show a maculate, a simply punctulate and a 

 plain form. The green phase males show a decided amount of 

 variation in the infuscation of the lateral aspect, this being almost 

 blackish in certain specimens (Oglethorpe, Billy's Island, Pablo 

 Beach and Atlantic Beach), paling until, in two Lake Waccamaw 

 males, there is no infuscation except the carinal lines and their 

 tegminal continuations. 



In the present series no specimens are macropterous, the tegmina 

 falling short of the apex of the abdomen in all. 



The species is a lover of weedy spots, grassy fields and damp 

 overgrown depressions, occurring frequently in abundance. It is 

 occasionally found in grasses in pine woods (Weldon, Goldsboro 

 and Jacksonville).
