290 STUDIES IN AMERICAN TETTIGONIIDAE (oRTHOPTERA) 



tegmina, verj^ broadly rounded lateral angles of tiie pronotum, 

 striking coloration and the genitalia in both sexes. 



Described from a pair from the same locality. 



Single Type here chosen. — cf; Jacksonville, Florida. (T. J. 

 Priddey.) [Hebard Collection ex Bruner.] 



Description of Type. — Size large, form decidedly slender. Eyes slightly 

 more prominent than in S. curvicauda. Pronotum more slender than in 

 that species with lateral angles very broadly and strikingly rounded (very 

 much more so than in *S. c. laticatida which has these angles slightly more 

 rounded than in curvicauda curvicauda) ; lateral lobes with ventral por- 

 tion of caudal margin almost straight to a broadly rounded obtuse angu- 

 lation just below the humeral sinus. Tegmina extremely narrow, much 

 narrower than the pronotal length. Production of disto-dorsal abdominal 

 segment similar to that of curvicauda but with furcate portion short, trun- 

 cate, with dorsal surface of same strongly declivent distad. Subgenital 

 plate much as in curvicauda. 



The unique female, bearing the same data as the type, is the 

 Allotype. 



Description of Allotype. — Slightly larger but with proportions similar 

 to the type. Ovipositor approximately as long as in curvicauda but of 

 wholly different shape, having the dorsal miargin bent sharply upward 

 proximad while the ventral margin is evenly but more strongly arcuate 

 than in that species; beyond the bend the ovipositor becomes decidedly 

 narrower.

Length of pronotum 5.3 5.7 



Length of tegmen 33.4 34.2

Length of wing 39.7 39.4 



Length of subgenital plate 7.4 



We are unable to give the length of the caudal femora as these 

 have been destroyed in both specimens. In the single female 

 before us the ovipositor is 8.2 mm. in length, 2.7 mm. in width 

 proximad, and 2.4 mm. in width mesad. 



Both specimens are very strikingly and similarly marked. 

 The general coloration is courge green, much faded except on the 

 tegmina, these appendages have the region of the anal vein and 

 sutural margin bone brown, thus forming a heavy line from the 

 base to the apex of the tegmen, the anal field is cinnamon with a
