86 A NEW CHLOEALTIS (aCRIDINAe) 



dorsal surface. General color of genae, lateral lobes of pronotiim and pleura 

 contrasted with pale dorsum in specimens having latter, giving the impression of 

 broad, dark, poorly defined post-ocular bars, in both males augmented by 

 poorly defined fuscous blotches on the lateral lobes and less distinctly so on the 

 postocular section of genae. Tegmina in all at least faintly paler than the sides 

 of the body, generally finely quadrato-maculate on anal, and in one case (type) 

 on discoidal, field with the general color; vicinity of marginal field of general 

 color. Abdomen with dorsal surface always paler than lateral surfaces, con- 

 trast decided. Limbs as a whole of the general color: caudal femora with three 

 indefinite pale cross bars on dorsal surface, these occasionally subobsolete; ex- 

 ternal surface of caudal femora with a small, median, pale spot ; ventral surface 

 of caudal femora and ventral surface of body ranging from dresden brown to 

 weak ochraceous-orange, the apex of ventral surface of male abdomen clear 

 ochraceous-orange, genicular region of caudal femora and proximal portion of 

 caudal tibiae infuscate: caudal tibiae ranging from ferruginous to english 

 red, distal extremity, and to a lesser degree caudal tarsi, infuscate ; spines black 

 tipped. 



The female in instar preceding maturity has a generally uniform medal 

 bronze coloration, the caudal femora tending toward citrine, caudal tibiae 

 with suggestion of the coloration of the same in adult.

In addition to the typical pair we have before us the other 

 specimens (Icf, 29, 1 immature?) secured at the same time. 

 The female paratypes show more indication of sulcation of the 

 frontal costa than the type, one appreciably more. In the female 

 paratypes the tegmina are slightly more tapering distad than in 

 the type. 



The immature female in the instar preceding maturity is of 

 particular interest, as it has the lateral foveolae well indicated, 

 but no more evident from the dorsal surface than in the adult 

 male. This would indicate that this condition in the adult fe- 

 male is not a primitive one.
