Coloration. — General color pale green (bright green in life). 

 Dorsum of head and pronotum with a broad median band of 

 cinnamon brown. Eyes natal brown to ecru drab (in life some- 

 times orange buff). Tegmina and wings transparent, light buff. 

 Distal half of male abdomen, including cerci, orange buff (brighter 

 and very striking in life), in living females the abdomen at the 

 base of the russet ovipositor is usually washed with this color. 

 Genicular areas of caudal femora frequently very weakly suffused 

 with brown. 



A distinct increase in size in the southward distribution of the 

 species is noted, but each large series shows a decided amount of 

 local size variability as well. 



Macropterism is found in two males and three females from 

 the vicinity of Jacksonville, Florida, out of the thirty-four speci- 

 mens before us. 



The degree of production of the distal portion of the male 

 cerci is found to be occasionally variable. 



The ventro-external margins of the caudal femora are armed 

 with small but heavy spines, in number averaging four and five;
