In all of these series the ovipositor is almost invariably considerably 

 shorter than in carolinus and consequently shows even less curv- 

 ature. 



Based on a series of five specimens of both sexes from four 

 localities. "^^ 



Single type here designated: 9 ; Las Cruces, New Mexico^ 

 (Cockerell) [Hebard Collection ex Bruner]. 



Description of Type.— Size, form, and structure much as in N. 

 carolinus. Tegmina nearly as long as caudal femur. Wings more

than twice as long as tegmina. Ovipositor a little more than half 

 the length of the caudal femur, very feebly arcuate, almost straight,, 

 distal third narrowly sublanceolate and armed as in carolinus. 



The allotype here selected bears the same data as the type and is 

 in the Scudder Collection. 



Description of Allotype. — Size smaller, but very similar to female 

 in general proportions. Tegmina of same character and abdomen 

 likewise peculiarly developed as in carolinus.
