44 INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 



prosternal spines as long as in the male and the meso- and 

 metasternal lobes as in that sex; anterior femora with three 

 ventral spines and the posterior ones with six, one with a 

 seventh represented by a black spot ; anterior tibiae with seven 

 ventral spines on the cephalic margin of one leg and eight on 

 the other, while the spines of the opposite margin are notice- 

 ably smaller and less oppositely placed than in the type material ; 

 here all the femoral geniculations are rounded and the color of 

 the face, instead of being concolorous with the rest of the sur- 

 face as in the type and allotype, is mesially largely pea-green. 

 The measurements of this specimen are as follows : Length : 

 pronotum, 6 mm. ; anterior femora, 7.5 mm. ; posterior femora, 

 15 mm. ; tegmina, 24 mm. ; ovipositor, 15 mm. Width : prono- 

 tum posteriorly, 4 mm. ; tegmina at widest point, 5 mm. ; poste- 

 rior femora at widest point, 3.5 mm. ; ovipositor mesially, 

 2.5 mm. 



Nannotettix sp. 



Three nymphs, two S $ and one 9 , November 19, De- 

 cember 2 and 12, lOOn. Iconnicoff. 



In general appearance these immature specimens remind one 

 of the species described from Peru under the name Nannotettix 

 paltaybama^ but the ovipositor of the female seems entirely too 

 heavy for that species. 



It may be well to here record the fact that after the descrip- 

 tion of Nannotettix paltaybama, based on the male only, was 

 printed there was an adult female received from Huadquinia, 

 Peru, also taken by the Yale Peruvian Expedition of 1911 but 

 bearing no date. This specimen scarcely differs from the male 

 type except that the pronotal disk has three longitudinal black 

 spots anteriorly instead of being wholly black along that border. 

 The ovipositor is moderately stout and quite gradually tapered 

 to a sharp point. The posterior legs of this specimen are both 

 missing. The measurements are as follows : Length : prono- 

 tum, 9 mm. ; tegmina, 11 mm. ; ovipositor, 17 mm. ; width, pro- 

 notum posteriorly, 6 mm. ; ovipositor mesially, 2.5 mm.
