is not as invariable an indication of the Gomphoceri-Scyllini 

 division of the subfamily as had previously been supposed. 

 Tendencies similar to those found in C. aspasma are indicated in 

 the South American genus Cocytotettix, but to a less marked degree.

Type. — 9; Siskiyou, Siskiyou Mountains, Jackson County, 

 Oregon. Elevation, 5000 to 5800 feet. August 13, 1909. (Rehn 

 and Hebard.) [Hebard Collection, Type no. 483.] 



Description of Type. — Size small (for the genus) : form moderately com- 

 pressed. Head with its exposed dorsal length slightly less than the dorsal 

 length of pronotal disk, not elevated dorsad of same; interspace between eyes 

 subequal to two-thirds of greatest fastigial width: fastigium with length from 

 eye interspace less than greatest fastigial width, in form slightly more acute 

 than a right-angle when seen from the dorsum, the apex rounded, the dorsal 

 surface of fastigium weakly impressed within its margins, a faint medio-longi- 

 tudinal carina present on the fastigium and interocular region, becoming obso- 

 lete on the occiput: lateral foveolar surfaces visible from the dorsum, the sur- 

 faces directed distinctly dorso-cephalad, the impression of the foveolae formed 

 of punctures and without clearly defined shape; fastigio-facial angle, when seen 

 in profile, rather narrowly rounded, face decidedly retreating; frontal costa 

 relatively broad, narrowed dorsad at its junction with the fastigium, subequal 

 in width thence to the median ocellus, thence the margins of the costa regularly 

 diverge and become subobsolete ventrad; surface of the costa rather thickly 

 punctate, faintly and narrowly sulcate mesad for a short distance ventrad of 

 the median ocellus: eyes in basal outline short and broad ovoid, the length of 

 the eye less than the depth of the infra-ocular portion of the genae; when seen 

 from the dorsum the eyes are not at all prominent: antennae almost two and 

 one-half times as long as pronotal disk, flattened to some extent in the greater 

 portion of their length, weakly expanded in proximal thiril. 



Pronotum with greatest caudal width of its dorsal surface contained one and 

 one-half times in the greatest length of the same: cephalic margin of disk 

 moderately arcuate, caudal margin of disk broad obtuse-angulate, the im-
