Mr. Morrison furnishes from his notes the following color 

 descriptions : 



"General color green (pale and dark apple). Head pale green, 

 slightly yellowish. Eyes dark brown, appearing almost black. 

 Ocelli pale, spots black. Antennal segments I and II like head, 

 yellowish pale green, rest black or blackish. Base of III like I and 

 II. Prothorax dark pale green, front edge Prussian green, hinder 

 edge darker. Thorax, ground color apple green, the median ce- 

 phalic lobe light Van Dyke brown, and the two dorsal lateral, each 

 with a large outer brown spot and a smaller inner one. A lateral 

 lobe on each side below wings light Van Dyke brown. Wing inserts 

 and base of subcosta very pale green. Subcosta and stigma grayish. 

 Veins brown, dark. Beak, III black, II dusky, tip of I dusky, I 

 pale green. Femora pale green, tips dusky, tibia and tarsi blackish 

 or black. Abdomen uniform dark apple green. Ventral anal plate 

 with indistinct dusky band. Cauda like the abdomen, or very 

 slightly paler. Cornicles pale apple green at base, rest dusky to 

 blackish, tips a little lighter." 



Specimens collected about a month later show the following 

 differences : 



"Head quite yellowish (greenish yellow). The prothorax is 

 brownish pale green, with a darker line along the front edge, and 

 with the hind margin no darker, the membrane between it and thorax 

 being light Hooker's green. The ground color of the thorax appears 

 in these specimens to be brown (pale) with the lobes mentioned in 

 the first description only a little darker. It requires a careful ex- 

 amination to separate the inner and outer lobes of the thorax, as 

 there is only a narrow line of color between them. The median 

 caudal lobe projecting into the abdomen is somewhat blackish and 

 the darkest of all. The abdomen shows a very faint darker stripe 

 down the center. Cauda distinctly but only slightly lighter than 

 abdomen. Cornicles no lighter at tip."
