P. fenestralis Serville. Long-horned Locust. 



The general color of this species is influenced largely by the 

 environment and varies from pale buff to reddish brown or even 

 to black. Face and cheeks grayish or yellowish, the top of head 

 and disk of pronotum darker. A narrow yellowish stripe extends 

 back from the eye onto the disk of the pronotum, bordering the 

 lateral carinae. Tegmina yellowish to dark, the lower or outer 

 half mottled with light and dark, the upper half unspotted. 

 Wings with the basal third varying in different specimens from 

 pale whitish yellow to orange or vermilion red, bordered with 

 a broad black band reaching nearly to the base. Apex trans- 

 parent. Hind tibiae dirty gray or with bands of black and whitish. 



Inhabits sandy areas throughout the state. It occurs along 

 the seashore, often in company with Trimerotropis maritima. 



Trimerotropis Stal. 



Medium sized, body compressed, head wider than the prozona 

 but less than the width of the metazona. Vertex longer than 

 broad, narrowed gradually towards apex. The lateral carinae 

 continuous with those of the frontal costa. Median carina, if 

 present, faint. Lateral foveolae small, triangular. Frontal costa 

 narrowed above and below the ocellus, and in our species sulcate 

 at least on the lower two-thirds. Antennae filiform. Pronotum 

 with the disk flattened, often with small tubercles on the meta- 

 zona, the front margin about truncate, and the rear margin with 

 the angle acute to obtuse. Median carina low, cut in front of 

 middle with two notches. Lateral carinae rounded, indistinct.
