78 STUDIES IN AMERICAN TETTIGONIIDAE (oRTHOPTERA) 



Color Notes. — General color ranging from lime green to light 

 cress green, the discoidal and stridulating fields of the tegmina 

 weakly washed with wood brown, the usual longitudinal expand- 

 ing bar on the dorsum of the head and pronotum hazel to russet 

 on the pronotum, becoming obsolete on the metazona and inten- 

 sified on the head, the paired bordering lines on the pronotum 

 bone brown, sharply pencilled, moderately broad and slightly 

 converging caudad on the metazona, contrasted laterad by a 

 yellowish wash, the dark lines subobsolete on the head. Tegmina 

 with the veins of the costal section of the marginal field sulphate 

 green, the distal section of the same field toward the humeral 

 trunk, including the mediastine vein, lined in similar fashion with 

 acajou red, area of the humeral trunk weakly lined with buff- 

 yellow. Abdomen with a broad subequal medio-longitudinal bar 

 of claret brown of variable intensity, this bordered laterad by 

 distinct but narrow lines of buff-yellow, these varying in inten- 

 sity and continuity. Eyes auburn to chestnut. Antennae with 

 the proximal joint of the general color, the remainder washed 

 with auburn to bay, becoming stronger distad. Cerci pale ochra- 

 ceous-orange, more or less washed distad and mesad with fer- 

 ruginous. Caudal tibiae washed with russet, the spines black 

 with pale bases. 



Distribution. — The species is only known from two localities in 

 or along the western edge of the Pine Barren area of southern 

 New Jersey. 



Biological Notes. — All the material known of this species was 

 taken in bogs or reedy swamps. At Sewell, according to infor- 

 mation with the specimen taken at that locality, several individ- 

 uals were heard singing. 



Morphological Notes. — The specimens examined are quite uni- 

 form in structure, the only variation being in size and this is 

 probably geographic, as those individuals from the type locality 

 are of very similar size, while that from Sewell is distinctly 

 smaller.
