280 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [April, 



Type: c? ; Hebardville, Ware County, Georgia. May 15, 1915. 

 (M. Hebarcl; in garden.) [Hebard Collection, Type No. 406.] 



Description of Type. — Size medium, form rather slender. Head 

 with lateral ocelli over twice as long as broad, in direction convergent 

 meso-distad, separated at nearest point by a space twice the length 

 of one ocellus. Eyes somewhat more elongate than in vicinus. 

 Tegmina similar to vicinus, but with veins not as heavy and cross- 

 veinlets fewer. Wings reaching slightly beyond apex of abdomen. 

 Limb proportions much as in vicinus. Dactyls of cephalic tibiae 

 separated by a space equal to basal width of one of these dactyls. 

 Spatula with distal half of ventral margin chitinous, straight, the 

 disto-ventral angle nearly rectangulate and sharply rounded. 

 Median tibiae armed interno-distad with four heavy spurs. Caudal 

 tibiae with ventro-internal margins each bearing four long spines, 

 the last situated very slightly proximad of the three long distal 

 spurs, disto-external margin armed with three short spurs, the dorsal 

 widely separated from the other two. Distal joint of caudal tarsus 

 slender, no wider than metatarsus, with dorsal margin not noticeably 

 compressed. Coloration distinctive. 



Allotype: 9 ; Same data as type. [Hebard Collection.] 



Description of Allotype. — Similar to type in characters common to 

 both sexes. Tegmina similar to vicinus, but, as in male, with veins 

 not as heavy and cross-veinlets fewer. Wings reaching slightly 

 beyond apex of abdomen. 



In addition to the type and allotype, we have before us a series 

 bearing the same data and material taken at the same locality from 

 May 15 to 31, 1915, by William Walker; these specimens, 26 c? , 

 25 9 , may be considered paratypes. 



This paratypic series shows that the species exhibits considerable 

 size variation, the average of the majority of specimens, however, 

 approximates the types in this respect. Both intensive and recessive 

 color patterns are developed, and the tegminal veins and veinlets 

 are sometimes heavier than in the typical condition. Decided 

 uniformity is found in the shape of the lateral ocelli, length and 

 separation of the tibial dactyls and form of distal joint of caudal 

 tarsus. In eighty uninjured specimens the number of spines of the 

 dorso-internal margins of the caudal tibiae are as follows: 



Number of spines 3-4 4-4 4-5 5-5 



Number of specimens 1 66 8 5 



In one specimen having 5-5 spines, one of these spines is bifurcate.
