Acridium shoshone (extract from this MSS. published iii the Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. 

 Phila., 1873, 290). 



By some oversight I neglected to state in my Synopsis that such was 

 the case, which should have been done, as the description was published by 

 permission of the officer in charge in order that I might copy it into my 

 Synopsis, it being understood that it and the other species published at the 

 same time should appear in this paper as new, a note to be made of the 

 fact. 



Large size ; green ; without any dorsal stripe.
