Tettigidea spicata, sp. nov. 



A small, slender, southern species, intermediate in structure of vertex between 

 apiculata and armata, but more nearly allied to the latter. The vertex is more 

 projecting than in armata, the body is narrower across the shoulders, the lateral 

 carinas of pronotum are but slightly developed, the median carina is less distinct, and 

 the disc is more finely rugulose.

Restoration of Harris' name to the New England species 



of Tettigidea. 



Continued study of the group of forms commonly referred to 

 under the names of Tettigidea lateralis and polymorpha convinces me 

 that it is composed of several distinct species, not, however, to be dis- 

 tinguished by the length of pronotum and wings as has so commonly 

 been done, but by characters presented in the form of the head and 

 pronotum aside from mere length of the latter. As has been noted 

 above, several species may be readily separated into a group having the 

 front margin of the pronotum produced into a sharp, pointed cusp; in 

 the remainder the margin is either rounded or obtuse-angulate. 



To this latter group belong the forms described by Say as Acrydium 

 later ale (long-winged) from Georgia and East Florida; by Burmeister 

 as Tetrix polymorpha var. A and B (long- and short-winged) from 

 South Carolina, and by Harris as Tetrix parvipetmis (short-winged) 

 from Massachusetts. 



The southern forms of this group, as well as those with cuspidate 

 pronotum, are dimorphic in wing-length. 



Examination of nearly four hundred specimens from various parts 

 of the country, but especially from the central and southern States, and 

 comparison with a large series of New England examples reveals the 

 fact that the New England forms referred to in my previous papers as 

 lateralis and polymorpha or " the northern form of lateralis " are dis- 

 tinct from those found in the region from which Say and Burmeister's
