An examination of the present series of specimens of both sexes 

 of this rare species shows that the number of spines on the ventro- 

 external margin of the caiichxl femora varies from two to seven, 

 one individual possessing two on one limb and six on the other. 



In general size there is some variation which may be geo- 

 graphic, as the largest individual is from the most southern 

 point from which the species has been recorded, although the 

 series in hand is not sufficient to more than call attention to this " 

 feature. 



The male cerci show some variation in the length of the distal 

 portion of the shaft, this being most apparent in the large Thomas- 

 ville specimen. This, like the size extreme of the same individual, 

 may possibly be explained on geographic grounds. 



The speculum of the stridulating field of the male tegmina 

 varies to an appreciable degree in the exact ratio of length and
