Coloration. — cf. Translucent ochraceous-tawny, eyes dark 

 mummy brown, median portion of face ochraceous-tawny. Limbs 

 and abdomen ochraceous-buff, the latter shading to tawny distad. 

 Cerci ochraceous-tawny. The males from Lower California are 

 paler, due to alcoholic bleaching. This must be considered like- 

 wise in the females from that locality, which are chestnut to hair 

 browm on head and abdomen, the pronotum and tegmina slightly 

 paler, kaiser brown to hazel. The tegmina are translucent and, 

 in two specimens, very slightly paler than the pronotum. 



Specimens Examined: 7; 4 males and 3 females.

The Group Pseudomopites 

 The species discussed below^ is the only form of this group found 

 in the regions at present under consideration. In consequence, 

 w^e have here not felt called upon to study the forms of the group. 

 or determine their proper arrangement as fully as has been neces- 

 sary for the Group BlattelHtes and Ischnopterites. 



-*^ Shri\elling, due to dr\iiig after immersion in alcohol, has caused some reduction in 

 this dimension in a number of Lower California specimens. 



250 Recorded incorrectly by Rchn and Hebard as Ischnoptera rufescens (Beauvois) 

 ( = /. riifa rufa), (19 14).
