 given below.

The form of the pronotum, tegmina and subgenital plate in this 

 species is unique, and a much greater disparity exists in the teg- 

 minal length when compared with the length of the caudal femur 

 than is found in any of the other known species of the genus. Al- 

 though differing in many important respects, /. abbreviata finds its 

 closest relationship with /. apache, to which species it bears a some- 

 what similar resemblance, if the brevity of tegmina is disregarded, 

 and affinity is shown in similar tympanal and cereal structure. 



Type. — 9 ; Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. [Brunner Collec- 

 tion 7152.] 



The following description is based upon the allotypic male here 

 selected.

Size medium, form compact. Head with greatest width contained one

^^ As in all the species of this group which are pale green in color, these 

 specimens when dried have turned, wholly or in part, pale yellowish, and 

 we would not feel able to make the statement given above, were it not true 

 that, in all the other species of the genus which have markings on the dorsal 

 surface of the abdomen, these markings remain distinct after the specimens 

 have been dried.
