suffused with dark brown laterad."' In another specimen (Browns- 

 ville, Texas) weak suffusions of darker brown are found on the 

 head between the ocelli and on the genac^*^- and on the pronotum 

 mesad on the disk. 



Immature examples before us show two color conditions. In 

 one (Lakeland and Key Largo, Florida), the general coloration is 

 pale ochraceous-tawny. the lateral margins of the pronotum, n.eso- 

 notum and metanotum transparent, with a weak buffy tinge. In 

 the other (Thomasville, Georgia, and Natchez, Mississippi), the 

 abdomen, and cerci are blackish chestnut brown, this darker 

 coloration extending as narrow, lateral, submarginal, suffused 

 bands to the cephalic margin of the pronotum, bordering the 

 transparent margins and becoming narrower and weaker cephalad. 

 The remaining portions are pale ochraceous-tawny. 



Though widely distributed through the southeastern I'nited 

 States, w^e have never found this insect in numbers, rare indi\iduals 

 having been taken, in the majority of cases, by beating shrubbery.

3*" This, a decided intensive color condition for the species, is apparently due, in part, 

 to the survival of the dark coloration found in some immature individuals. 



ss- The head, however, never shows distinctive markings such as are conspicuous and 

 of specific diagnostic importance in many forms of the genus.
