There is considerable variation in proportion and size in the series 

 before us, large and small individuals being found in the same region 

 as the measurements of the Washington and Cabin John Run speci- 

 mens show. The majority of specimens from the Atlantic coast 

 are about intermediate in size between the extremes. 



Color Notes. — The coloration of the specimens here described is 

 typical of the series before us, the only variation shown being a small 

 amount of intensification or diminution of the color pattern in a few 

 specimens. General coloration clay color mottled and flecked with 

 mummy brown. Head below and including the interantennal space 

 shining Vandyke brown, above cinnamon more or less maculate with 

 mummy brown above the interantennal space and on the base of the 

 occiput, the broad occipital bar of cinnamon thus formed usually 

 rather conspicuous, eyes dark bistre. Maxillary palpi clay color, the 

 distal portion of the terminal segment mummy brown. Pronotum 

 clay color, more or less mottled and flecked with mummy brown, this 

 mottling often heavy in the median portion of the dorsum, and 

 particularly so on the lateral lobes. Tegmina of male sepia, discoidal 

 vein cream color but usually very inconspicuous, discoido-anal root- 

 basin and upper portion of lateral field bistre; of female bistre, with 

 veins and intermediate channel clay color. Dorsal surface of abdo- 

 men of male (concealed by tegmina) clove brown; of female cephahc 

 portion (concealed by tegmina) clove brown, exposed portion clay 

 color more or less maculate with clove brown. Ovipositor burnt 

 umber. Ventral surface of body clay color. Limbs clay color 

 tinged with russet and more or less mottled and flecked with prouts 

 brown. 



The specimens from Wichita, Kan., differ from the rest of the 

 series in having the lower portion of the head cinnamon instead of 

 Vandyke brown, and the intermediate channel of the female tegmina
