DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES : 

 Draeculacephala balli n. sp. 



Allied to 7-guttata Walker but differs in being smaller, green in- 

 stead of testaceous brown, and in wanting the black points on the 

 pronotum behind the eyes and the anterior point on the vertex is 

 often wanting. Length 5-6 mm. 



Vertex in the male as long as the pronotum, distinctly longer in 

 the female; sides viewed from above rectilinear, not slightly concave 

 as in 7-guttata. Front viewed from the side nearly rectilinear, not 

 obviously concave as in the female 7-guttata. Last ventral segment of 

 female moderately produced, the lateral angles sometimes a little 

 prominent; male plates longer than the pygofers, acute and a little 

 produced and recurved at apex, about as in 7-guttata. 



Color green, somewhat obscure; vertex, costa and anterior margin 

 of pronotum obscure greenish or whitish yellow. Three points on the 

 vertex and an angular mark at the apex black; the two posterior 

 points are more conspicuous and are placed on the hind margin behind 

 the ocelli. Pale anterior margin of the pronotum sometimes with 

 faint green mottlings. Scutellum with two conspicuous black points 

 within the basal angles. Beneath and legs pale brownish testaceous ; 

 front darker with a black point at apex and another in the antennal 

 cavity, and about seven darker arcs ; sides with a blackish vitta under 

 the eye extended over the pleune. sometimes diffuse ; tergum blackish, 

 darker in the male. 



Described from numerous examples of both sexes taken on 

 Billy's Island in the Okefenokee Swamp, Georgia, in Turn-, 

 and in Decatur County, Georgia, in July, by Prof. J. C. 

 Bradley. This is evidently the form described by Dr. Ball as 

 7-guttata in his Review of the Tettigonid:e. His specimens 

 were from Florida and Mississippi.
