valve by two and one-half times its length, broad at base, gradually and evenly 

 narrowed to sharp-pointed tips. 



Eighteen specimens were collected at Miami, Cleveland and 

 La Belle, Fla., Apr. 2-28, 1921, by D. M. DeLong from coarse 

 grasses. 



Note: In Baker's original description (Can. Ent. XXX, p. 220, 1898) he 

 ascribes to minimus a male collected at Corumba, Rrax.il, which doubtless is the 

 male of another species (undetermined), the female of which was collected at 

 this place and is labeled erroneously as " Ch. minima" var. The females of 

 typical minimus were collected at Chapada, Brazil. This is therefore the first 

 description of the true male of Ch. minimus Baker. 



The male Chlorotettix originally ascribed by Baker to minimus ami the 

 female labeled as " Ch. minima var." both of which were collected at the same 

 place in Brazil are described below.

This species resembles Ch. minimus in size and form, but differs strikingly 

 in the genital characters. 



Female last ventral segment about twice as long as preceding segment; 

 lateral angles broadly rounded to posterior margin which is broadly and round- 

 ingly notched one-third distance to base of segment. Male valve equals pre- 

 ceding segment in length, broadly and evenly rounded; plates about four times 

 as long as valve, broadly and convexedly expanded toward the base, then 

 abruptly and concavely narrowed two-thirds their distance to apex forming 

 narrow rounded tips.

The male specimen was labeled originally "Chlorotettix

The description and figures appearing as above were pre- 

 pared from two specimens, one each from Florida ami Jamaica, 

 loaned to the junior author by Mr. E. P. Van Duzee and labeled 

 " Ch. minimus Baker." On examination of Baker's types, it 

 became evident that these specimens were erroneously identified, 

 and that they require a new specific name. No description is 

 appended on account of the availability ot the description and 

 figures as cited above. The type is from Florida and has been
