146 ORTHOPTEROUS GROUP INSARAE 



of the abdomen generally approaching wax yellow, but occasionally 

 more greenish and then near apple green. Head with a narrow 

 postocular line of pansy purple lined ventrad with creamy, rarely 

 the creamy alone present ; f astigium washed more or less with pansy 

 purple; eyes ranging from oil yellow to vinaceous-russet; antennae 

 with the two proximal joints of the general color, remainder rang- 

 ing from martins yellow to buff yellow, occasionally washed ventro- 

 proximad with very dilute pansy purple. Pronotum with the 

 caudal margin of the lobes and disk edged (the former broadly and 

 the latter narrowly) with pansy purple and creamy, the latter ex- 

 ternal ; a continuation of the postocular stripe of the head more or 

 less distinctly indicated in the usual position on the cephalic fourth 

 of the pronotum. Tegmina with the greater portion of the stridu- 

 lating field of the male mustard yellow, the extreme proximal por- 

 tion of the same field of the general color and that along the anal 

 vein infuscate, the latter vein lined with very dull pansy purple; 

 in the female the anal field is occasionally mustard yellow as well 

 as considerable of the proximal portion of the tegmina, other indi- 

 viduals of the same sex having the anal field of the base color, while 

 all of the females have a touch of dull pansy purple at the base of 

 the anal vein. Abdomen with a more or less distinct fine arcuate 

 lateral line of dull pansy purple and creamj^.extending distad to the 

 base of the cerci in both sexes, the dorsum of the abdomen between 

 the same blotched with hoary in one specimen, the same region in 

 most of the individuals largely punctulate or finely marmorate 

 with pansy purple. Ovipositor of the general color, darkest distad. 

 Limbs with the femora more or less decidedly washed on the distal 

 three-fourths or so with pansy purple, this broken up and clouded 

 more or less decidedly with hoary white, the distal extremity of 

 the femora and all of the tibiae of the general color. Occasionally 

 the caudal femora are of the general color proximad. 



Distribution. — The present species has a range quite isolated 

 from the remainder of the genus, being found only from south- 

 western and east central Georgia (Thomasville and Augusta) south 

 to the extreme southern point of the mainland of Florida (Home- 

 stead). It is not known from west of Thomasville, although it may 

 occur there as well as north of the same point, but not for a great 

 distance in the latter direction the fall line probably marking the 

 limit of its northward distribution in Georgia. It does not, as far as 

 known, occur on the Florida Keys, but does reach the extreme point
