with an obtuse-angulation weakly indicated mesad, disto-lateral angles rectangulate 

 and rather sharply rounded. Cerci short and broad, extending far beyond distal 

 margin of supra-anal plate, lateral margins subparallel totherather broadly rounded 

 apex. Subgenital plate transverse, distal margin transverse between the cerci. 

 Small cylindrical styles situated on this margin at the inner margin of the base of 

 the cerci, each equal to about one-third the cereal length. Cephalic femora with 

 ventro-cephalic margins supplied proximad with a few hairs, succeeded distad by a 

 more closely-set row of shorter hairs (with a single, distal, atrophied spine, indi- 

 vidually present or absent). Other femora unarmed (or with a single, distal, atro- 

 phied spine, individually present or absent on the ventral margins), except dorso- 

 distad where a small delicate genicular s])ine is situated slightly cephalad of the 

 median line. 



Characters of Female. — (Brownsville, Texas.) This sex agrees with the male except 

 in the following features. Size larger. Interspace between the eyes from one- 

 half to two-thirds the greatest diameter of the eye.'-^ Supra-anal plate strongly 

 produced, bilobate distad, this due to a deep medio-longitudinal cleft. Cerci with 

 lateral margins weakly converging to a more narrowly rounded apex than in male. 

 Subgenital plate with distal margin broadh' convex in general outline, but almost 

 straight at base of cerci and with a brief, moderately deep, concave, mesal emargin- 

 ation.

In the very large exotic series before us, the size variation is very 

 much greater. 



The species enjoys apparently much the widest distribution of 

 any of the genus and exhibits much the greatest amount of varia- 

 tion. 



The general color is light paris green, the antennae ochraceous- 

 tawny, the lateral bands of pronotum and tegmina yellowish white. 

 The tegmina often have a minute, inconspicuous, dark brown dot 

 mesad in their distal half. 



Specimens Examined. In addition to nearly 100 exotic specimens: 9; 4 males 

 and 5 females.

^-* This feature is shown, by the large exotic series of cubensis before us, to exhibit 

 decided variability in this species.
