the posterior border of the eye along the upper part of the lateral 

 lobes of the pronotum and sometimes to the humeral field of the 

 tegmina ; sometimes this band is faint. The female may be taken

 by the absence of foveolae and the more elongated pronotum with 

 the less divergent lateral carinae.

This species has not been taken in Connecticut, but occurs 

 in New Jersey, and should be looked for in the southern part of 



the state. 



Orphulella Giglio-Tos. 



Vertex nearly horizontal, not extending beyond the eyes 

 for a distance greater than its width. Median carina, if 

 present, very faint. Lateral foveolae small and not visible from 

 above. Pronotum with the median carina sharp, cut either at or 

 behind the middle. The lateral carinae divergent before and 

 behind the middle. Lateral lobes of pronotum as broad as long ; 

 front border moderately oblique; hind border less oblique and 

 slightly sinuate. Tegmina and wings well developed. The teg- 

 mina narrow, little shorter than the abdomen in some species 

 and considerably longer in others. Hind femora of medium size, 

 often banded.
