areas. Elytra sordid greenish hyaline often smoky toward the tips, the dark 

 veins of the wings showing through them. Beneath greenish. 



Genitalia: Female last ventral segment more than twice as long as preceding, 

 lateral margins convexly rounded to prominent, bluntly pointed lateral angles 

 either side of a deep "U "-shaped excavation extending two-thirds the distance 

 to the base with the apex slightly notched, exposing base of ovipositor. The 

 basal portion of concavity narrowly brown bordered. Male valve rounded, 

 longer but narrower than last ventral segment. Plates twice longer than valve 

 and broader at base, outer margins strongly convexly rounded two-thirds the 

 distance to the apex where they are distinctly narrowed and produced into 

 long divergent tips. Secondary brown foliaceous plates are visible at the mar- 

 gins of the ventral plates. 



Described from six female and twelve male specimens col- 

 lected at Cape Charles, Va., by the Junior author, August 2 

 and 3, 1920. They were swept from patches of tall grasses 

 growing in pine woodland. 



Chlorotettix latifrons, n. sp. 

 Plate 11, Fig. 4, 4u. 



Resembling unicolor in size and form, but dull greenish yellow in color and 

 with distinct genitalia. Length 8 mm. 



Vertex broadly rounded, parallel margined, more than twice as wide as 

 long, and strongly rounded to front. Pronotum twice as long as vertex. Face 

 very broad, gradually narrowed to clypeus. 



Color: Dull yellow without definite markings, often spots or blotches slightly 

 bronzed and usually a darker blotch on apex of vertex. Veins somewhat 

 darker especially on the smoky apical portion. 



Genitalia: Last ventral segment of female longer than preceding. Lateral 

 angles rounded but prominently produced. Between these the posterior 

 margin is strongly concavely excavated half way to the base, in the middle of 

 which is a rather V-shaped notch extending entirely to the base. The notch 

 and posterior margin are broadly bordered with dark brown. 



Because of the large size and distinct genital characters it is strange this 

 species has not been previously captured and described. 



Described from two female specimens collected by the 

 junior author at Cape Charles, Virginia, August 3, 1920, swept 

 from very coarse sedges on the sandy margins of a salt marsh, 

 and a female specimen received from Mr. H. L. Dozier taken 

 at Pascagala Mississippi.
