The type series is before us. The species has never been taken 

 north of Mexico, the Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, material originally 

 included being referable to P. accola. 



The much reduced tegmina are frequently absent, on one or both 

 sides, as shown by the series before us. The caudal femora of this 

 species and of accola differ from those of gracilis, bistrigata and valga 

 in being not solidly colored, showing two broad, but normally very 

 weak, darker suffusions dorsad.

A large series of well preserved material of P. accola from near the 

 type locality, now at hand, enables us to straighten out the past 

 confusion. All of the material, described by Scudder from Corpus 

 Christi Bay, Texas, as Phcedrotettix angustipennis and Cyclocercus 

 accola, is dried alcoholic and in very poor condition. 



Rehn's misidentification was due to Caudell's mistakes in com- 

 parison. Scuclder's figures for the two species are excellent. 

 Phaedrotettix litus new species. 



This species is cUstinctive in its striking green coloration washed 

 with red. The eyes are appreciably more protuberant than in any

^^ Incorrectly recorded by Rehn as Phcedrotettix angustipennis, in 1904; following 

 Caudell, who compared the material with cotypes of that species.
