HANCOCK 65 



cate; the pronotum not so strongly compressed, in profile 

 longitudinally less arcuate; the body rugose, scabrous; the 

 elytra smaller, less elongate; the median lobule of the lateral 

 lobes of pronotum almost obliterated, the posterior femora 

 ampliate. From the other species it can be readily distin- 

 guished by referring to the key. 



NOMOTETTIX ARCUATUS, SP. N. 



Body small, strongly compressed, granulate, rugose, dark 

 fuscous. Vertex about twice as wide as one of the eyes, front 

 border convex, median carina distinct, in profile very little 

 convex, scarcely elevated as high as the eyes, viewed from 

 above, distinctly projecting from the middle of the front 

 border; anteriorly on either side of the median carina of the 

 vertex fossulate between the eyes; frontal carinae laterally a 

 little compresso-rounded into the sides at the anterior portion 

 of the eyes. Frontal costa angulato-sinuate between the eyes; 

 face strongly retreating. Antero-dorsal margin of pronotum 

 obtuse angulate, in profile advanced over the head nearly to 

 the middle of the eyes; posterior pronotal process acuminate, 

 not extended quite so far as the apex of posterior femora, 

 between the shoulders narrow; humeral angles widely obtuse; 

 median carina of pronotum strongly compresso-arcuate, high- 

 est at the shoulders, between the carinje transversely strongly 

 concave; median lobule of posterior margin of lateral lobes 

 nearly obliterated. Wings undeveloped; elytra small, the width 

 contained two and one-half times in the length (while in 

 N. cristatiis the width is contained about three times in the 

 length). Femoral carinae compressed, entire; posterior femora 

 distinctly amjjliate, at the outer third of the superior marginal 

 carina provided with a very small acute tooth. 



Length body, 2. 8 mm.; pronot., 7.5 mm.; post, fern., 

 5 mm. 



Locality, Tifton, Georgia (Pilate). 



The species described by Bolivar as Tcttix cristatus, 

 Scudd., agrees with this species, and the fact that he gives the 

 locality as Georgia is further evidence that this was the species
