Individuals of the present geographic race of N. fas&iatus are found 

 to differ from typical specimens of the species in their much smaller 

 size, very dark coloration, extreme abbreviation of the tegmina, and, 

 in the female, by differences in the ovipositor, the apex of which is 

 fully as much enlarged but for a less di.stance than in fasciatus, being 

 more obliquely subtruncate, and is provided with more pronounced 

 teeth. 



38 All belong to the type series of the synonymous Neynobius cayius Scudder, 

 1th the exception of the macropterous specimen, which is labelled .V. socius by 



with the exception of the macropterous 

 Scudder.
