NEW NORTH AMERICAN TETTIGINyE.— II. 



By Albert P. Morse, Wellesley, Mass. 



Tettigidea armata, sp. nov. 



Very similar to T. acuta Morse (JouRN. N. Y. Ent. Soc. Ill, 15), differing 

 in having a less projecting vertex, and a distinctly or strongly rugulose pronotum 

 with sharp carinse. The anterior margin of the pronotum is usually more produced, 

 with excavated sides, and terminates in a sharply pointed cusp. The median carina 

 is distinct, sharp, nearly horizontal, with sometimes a slight depression opposite the 

 tegmina. In the type the wings and pronotum pass the hind femora considerably 

 but a short-winged form occurs, described below as depressa,

T. armata depressa, var. nov. 



This is doubtless the short-winged form of ar?nata, differing only in having 

 the pronotum equalling or not reaching the tip of the hind femora and the wings 

 more or less abortive ; the dorsum of the pronotum is sinuate in profile, being more 

 or less depressed at tip and opposite shoulders.
