330 STUDIES IN AMERICAN TETTIGONIIDAE (oRTHOPTERA) 



clove brown, stridulating vein occasionally raw sienna; discoidal 

 field of tegmina with numerous small to medium-sized scattered 

 ocelliform false fungous areas of clove brownish, sutural margin 

 of same rarely weakly washed with same color. Tibiae more 

 or less pinkish on dorsal surfaces, as strong as pompeian red on 

 cephalic and median tibiae and flesh pink on caudal tibiae. 



These notes have been made from only the individuals which 

 show the best preserved coloration and have not been immersed 

 in liquid preservative. Certain specimens of the latter character 

 are of an entirely buffy color.

Distribution.— k^ far as known this most interestmg species 

 occurs only in the Sonoran desert areas of the southwestern United 

 States and northern Mexico, extending from western Texas (Chisos 

 Mountains, Sierra Blanca and Quitman Mountains) west to South- 

 em Arizona (exact locality unknown), south to at least the state 

 of Coahuila and the northern part of the state of Zacatecas (Co- 

 macho), Mexico and northward to southern New Mexico (Dry 

 Canyon). It is practically certain that the material recorded by 

 Snow from Oak Creek Canyon, central Arizona, belongs to this 

 form, but all efforts to locate the specimens have failed. 



In addition to the type and allotype we have examined a para- 

 typic male taken in Dry Canyon, Sacramento Mountains, Otero 

 County, New Mexico, 5200 feet elevation, VII, 13, 1907 (R. & H.), 

 another paratype of the same sex from Comacho, Zacatecas,
