90 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



General colour a very bright grass green. Fastigium tipped with 

 dull yellow, which extends half way down the sides. Labrum and apical 

 segments of all the palpi a rose red tinged with violet. Tarsi somewhat 

 infuscated. Antennae and apical third of ovipositor reddish-brown. 



Measurements. — Female — Length of body, 27 mm.; of fastigium in 

 front of eye, 2.75 mm.; of pronotum, 7 mm.; of tegmina, 37 mm.; of hind 

 femora, 20 mm.; of hind tibiae, 19.5 mm.; of ovipositor, 19 mm. 



This handsome species of Conocephalus belongs to the same group as 

 C. robustus and C. crepitans, Scudder, but is smaller and of a more uni- 

 form and brighter green than either of those species, besides having 

 shorter legs, ovipositor, etc. It is described from a single female taken 

 October 24, from the fallen grasses on the margins of a large low-land 

 pond in Vigo county. This pond is surrounded on all sides by heavy 

 timber, and its margins have yielded a number of interesting Orthoptera 

 found nowhere else in the county. Among them are Leptysma margini- 

 collis, Serv., Paroxya atlantica, Scudder, Anaxiphus pulicarius, Sauss., 

 Phylloscirtes pulchellus, Uhler, and Xiphidium nigro-pleurum, Bruner. 

 The first four mentioned are insects of a southern range, and perhaps C. 

 palustris will in time be found to be more common southward. 



Orchelimum, Serville. 



Orchelimum indianense, nov. sp. 



A slender-bodied insect, with a dark median streak down the face, and 

 having the posterior femora unarmed beneath. The cone of the vertex is 

 short, rather narrow, with a rounded apex. The tegmina narrow, taper- 

 ing, a little shorter than the wings, and of a delicate, almost gauze-like, 

 texture. Posterior femora slender, shorter than the closed tegmina. 

 Anal cerci of male of medium size, longer than the subgenital plate, 

 tapering to a dull point; the basal tooth short, with a broad base and a 

 very sharp point. The ovipositor of female of less than average width 

 and length, the apical half with a gentle upward curve. 



Colour of dried specimens : Tegmina and wings a transparent 

 whitish, tinged with green on the front or lower, longitudinal nerves; the 

 cross nervules of the latter darker. Sides of pronotum and abdomen, and 

 ^ all the femora, light green ; the tibiae and tarsi of a brownish hue. Face 

 yellowish-white, with a dark fuscous stripe, the width of the labrum, 

 starting with the mouth and passing upward to the vertex, where it 

 narrows to the width of that organ ; then, broadening on the occiput, it 

 passes back to the front border of the pronotum, where it divides into
