The black spots not only vary in number on the usual part of 

 the elytra, but some have a few small ones on the anterior part of 

 the elytra, and one near the green tip of the wing, as shown in our 

 figures of two varieties, differing in those respects. It is one of the 

 rarest of our Grasshoppers, one of the two examples in the 

 Museum having been found in May 1876 at Emu Plains, near 

 Benalla, by Mr. A. F. Bradshaw, to whom we are indebted for it. 

 Not figured of the colors of life before.
