NEW NORTH AMERICAN DECTICINAE 



very (lark brown, in one specimen, however, much paler, tawny-olive. Face 

 much ])al('r, cinnamon-buff to clay color, the labral suture itself sometimes 

 dark brown. Exposed portions of tegmina Vandyke brown. Caudal fem- 

 ora with small blotches of blackish brown about each spine on the ventral 

 margins. Such brown individuals show little apparent maculation, but under 

 the microscope are seen to be finely and richly mottled. 



A solidly green color phase is developed in this species, represented by 

 one male and three female paratypes and a Loon Lake female before us. 

 In this phase the green coloration is immaculate, rich bice green. The pro- 

 duced portion of the lateral lobes of the j)ronotum is vandyke brown, while 

 the eyes, antennae, excepting the proximal joint, and all but the proximal 

 portion of the ovipositor are buckthorn brown. The small blotches of black- 

 ish brown about ea(!h spine on the ventral margins of the caudal femora are 

 much reduced in this color phase. The green coloration has faded some- 

 what, particularly on the abdomen, in the series before us.

In addition to the type and allotype, we have l)ef()re us thi'(>e 

 male and six female paratypes, bearing the same data, belonging 

 to the Philadelphia Collections. We have also at hand a female, 

 taken on the Little Spokane River, Washington, July 26, 1882, by 

 S. Henshaw, and one male and four femak^s taken at Loon Lake, 

 Colville Valley, Washington, July 23 to 25, 1882, by S. Henshaw, 

 all in the Hebard Collection ex Bruner.
