Several specimens of both sexes. They were taken at various 

 localities on the island by all the collectors. 



\Yhile the genus contains numerous representatives in North and 

 Middle America, there is but little doubt as to the identity of De- 

 Geer's species. 



53. Orphullela chipmani, new species. 



A small species of variable color with the lateral carinas of the pronotum parallel 

 in advance of the hind transverse sulcus, and with unusually narrow tegmina. 



Occiput somewhat elongate, the eyes large but not prominent, the fastigium 

 slightly acuminate even in the female, shallowly sulcate ; lateral foveolae small, linear, 

 scarcely sulcate, frontal costa prominent only above, very shallowly sulcate and with 

 the sides gently divergent below. Antennae slender, filiform, short, in the male 

 only a trifle exceeding, in the female somewhat less than the combined length of head 

 and pronotum together. Pronotum a little expanding behind, the two lobes equal in 

 length, the lateral carina; parallel in advance of the last or principal sulcus. Teg- 

 mina narrow, the discoidal area in the 9 containing but a single row of cells, just 

 about reaching the apex of abdomen and hind femora in the female, equal to the lat- 

 ter but longer than the former in the male. Hind femora with basal half robust, 

 apical half slender, immaculate. 



Color variable, but usually green or testaceous on occiput, disc of pronotum and 

 dorsal field of tegmina. Sides of head, back of eyes, upper half of sides of pronotum 

 and pleurae, and disk and costal field of tegmina dark fuscous ; face, lower portion of 

 cheeks, sides of pronotum, pleurae, hind femora, abdomen and under side pale (male). 

 In the female the fuscus band back of the eyes is much narrower and confined to the 

 upper edge of the sides of pronotum and the tegmina are much paler and show traces 

 of maculation. The wings are fuliginous or fuscous, darkest apically. Hind femora 

 somewhat obscure on the knees, and the hind tibiae along with all the tarsi also in- 

 fuscated.
