98 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



colour of the fore wings is always lighter and of a greenish tinge, and there 

 is less brown in the markings. 



Mr. Dodge's addition to the list, Titania, is a good species. So is, 

 also, Dr. Strecker's addition, /air. I have seen examples of both of 

 these. 



Before closing this I want to speak again of the Junctura group. The 

 more I see of the Arizona specimens, the more satisfied I am that the 

 Texan form is separate from both of those that occur in Arizona. There 

 are two forms there : one that is even reddish gray, that should be known 

 as Babayaga, Strecker ; the other one is a more broken light and dark 

 reddish gray, and this is Arizona, Grote. The Texan form is a larger 

 insect than either of the Arizona forms, of an even greenish gray, and may 

 be known as Texance. 



THE DECTICINEAN GENUS EREMOPEDES. 



BY A. N. CAUDELL, WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The genus Eremopedes was established by Scudder in 1894, Can. 

 Ent., XXVI., p. 178, 181. It was founded on a female specimen in the 

 National Museum, but the species was not described till 1900. Previous 

 to that date Mr. Cockerell described a species from New Mexico, together 

 with a colour variety of the same, and I can now add a third species to 

 the genus. In connection with its description it may be well to give a 

 short account of the genus, which may be characterized as follows : 



Insects of medium size. Head with the fastigium moderately promi- 

 nent. Thorax with the presternum unarmed.* Pronotum smooth, 

 moderately rounded, nearly as much arched posteriorly as anteriorly, and 

 without carina?. Legs moderately spinose, hind pair long, the femora 

 extending far beyond the tip of the abdomen, usually as much as half 

 their length. Fore tibiae spined above on the outer margin only, the 

 spines three in number. Ovipositor moderately curved upwards. 



The species, so far as now known, occur in the south-western part 

 of the United States, from Colorado southwards, and all appear to be 

 comparatively rare. The species may be separated as follows : 

 A. Lateral lobes of the prothorax well developed, the posterior border 

 distinctly sinuate. (Fig. 4b.) 



a. Larger. Unicolorous, a uniform pale 



brown nnicolor, Scudd. 



aa. Smaller. Variegated, dark above, paler below. .Balli, n. sp. 



* There are two small blunt spines present, but they are not conspicuous.
