Orphulella pratorum, sp. nov. 



Green or brown, generally the latter, marked variably with fuscous, 

 but generally with a broad and distinct blackish fuscous postocular stripe 

 on head and pronotum, cut on the latter by the luteous lateral carina? ; 

 head occasionally with a pair of vertical fuscous stripes, enclosing a 

 median testaceous stripe, in which case the disk of the pronotum and 

 anal area of the tegmina are also testaceous. Head rather large and 

 prominent, the face not very oblique; fastigium well advanced, con- 

 siderably depressed behind the well elevated margins, which are rectangu- 

 late ( T ) or obtusangulate ( 9 ) in front ; lateral foveohe obscure, sub- 

 linear ; frontal costa much compressed and narrowed above, gently 

 enlarging below, feebly sulcata; eyes rather large; antenna; somewhat 

 longer ( (^ ) or a little shorter (?) than the head and pronotum together, 

 testaceous, apically a little infuscated, the post-basal joints feebly depressed. 

 Pronotum rather long, subtruncate but obtusangulate behind, the lateral 

 carinae arcuate, diverging considerably both in front and behind, but 

 especially behind. Tegmina, at least in the male, generally considerably 

 surpassing the hind femora, the median area often maculate with fuscous, 

 the discoidal area of basal half of fem ile tegmina not narrowed distally 

 nor narrower than the ulnar area, irregularly reticulate with more than a 

 single row of cells ; ulnar area of male with a distinct spurious vein 

 dividing it so as to form a double row of cells. Hind femora surpassing 

 the abdomen, moderately slender, often clouded with fuscous, the hind 

 tibiae often with a pallid postgenicular annulus.
