262 STUDIES IN AMERICAN TETTIGONIIDAE (oRTHOPTERa) 



abbreviate, lanceolate, with apex sharply rounded. ^^ Male teg- 

 minal tympanum unusually small, short and broad, with veins 

 prominent. Cerci short, proximal two-thirds heavy with mesal 

 (vertical and longitudinal) internal tooth heavy at base, directed 

 mesad and perpendicular to the shaft of the cercus, distal 

 third of cercus directed strongly outward with broadly rounded 

 apex external instead of mesal in position, this third decidedly 

 flattened and slanting toward the internal margin with the 

 flattened portion merging with the proximal swollen portion 

 gradually, much more evenly than in brevipennis. Subgenital 

 plate with distal margin truncate between the very short disto- 

 lateral styles, which are set in slightly but appreciably raised 

 sockets. Cephalic and median tibiae with from one to all of the 

 ventral margins bearing seven, instead of the normal six, spines. 

 Caudal femora heavy and elongate, bearing on their ventro- 

 external margins spines which are heavier than is usual. Ovi- 

 positor short, very weakly curved and virtually straight.

«' The single macropterous specimen of the species known, has the tcgmina 

 moderately broad, as in the nuu-ropterous condition of C. saltator, with apex 

 not quite as narrowly roundeil as in the bracliypterous condition.
