133. [Utuado, Arroyo, Bayamon and Mayaguez, Porto Rico ; Culebra and 

 Vieques Islands.] 



A ? from Vieques Island has been examined in this connection. 



The species is closely related to pratensis, but differs in the narrower 



space between the eyes and the greater interantennal constriction of 



the frontal costa. It is interesting to note that the known ranges of 



these very closely related species are separated by a distance of over 



two thousand miles, in the land areas of which, as far as at present 



known, no species of the genus is found.

The Sapucay specimens loaned by Prof. Bruner are marked as types, 

 although the locality southern Brazil is given with the original brief 

 description. 



The variation in the intensity of the markings of this species is quite 

 considerable. The males appear to be, for this genus, rather uniform 

 in coloration, and the variation in size is not very great. The females, 

 however, vary greatly in the amount and shade of green coloring, 

 some having the dorsal face of the caudal femora, head and the greater 

 portion of the pronotum and pleura rather pale apple green, while 

 others have these parts mottled and overlaid more or less strongly 

 with dull brown. In a few specimens the green, except the tegminal 

 bar, is wholly replaced with a shade of brown, but in such cases the 

 pattern remains the same. In the material examined but very few 

 specimens have the characteristic pattern obscured and even in those 

 cases it is not obliterated. 



As a series the females are quite uniform in size, one Sapucay female, 

 however, being quite large. This latter individual is also very deeply 

 colored. 



The measurements of Bruner's Sapucay specimens and the large ? 

 mentioned above are as follows :
