92 ORTHOPTEROUS GROUP INSARAE 



to make it uncertain at that time whether they should be considered 

 mere variations, geographic races or different species. Each time, 

 however, that the error was made, the individuals were mentioned 

 as differing from the typical form. 



Remarks. — Nymphs of the present species are similar to the 

 adults in coloration and markings, their wing-pads are unicolorous. 

 Female nymphs have the ovipositor sheath with dorsal and ventral 

 margins smooth without any indication of serrations. This is also 

 found to be true in all the known nymphal females not only of this 

 genus but of Dichopetala as well. 



Specitnens Examined: 42; 20 males, 16 females, 3 male nymphs, 3 female 

 nymphs.

Insara gemmicula=^ new species (Figs. 20 and 29.) 



The present insect differs so greatly from all the other known 

 species of the genus that it is difficult to find to which of these it is 

 most nearly related. Some relationship to /. lamellata is apparent. 

 These species show some affinity to /. elegans in the general contour 

 of the head and pronotum, but even in these parts marked differ- 

 ences are evident. From elegans we find the present species to 

 differ in the much smaller size; the proportionally longer dorsum 

 of the pronotum which is less expanded caudad; the lateral lobes
