Hedotettix aitenuatus, Hancock, Spol. Zeyl. ii, 1904, pp. lOS, 149, 

 151, pi. iii, %. 18; id., Gen. Ins., Orth. Tetrig. 1906, p. 60,

Body very slender, vertex uari-ower than one of the eyes, 

 subtruncate in front, and scarcely raised above the eyes ; median 

 carina of pronotum hardly compressed. Colour very variable, 

 sometimes with a broad longitudinal stripe of emerald green, 

 which fades after death.

Tettix lineifera, Walker, Cat. Derm. Salt, v, 1871, p. 824. 



Differs from H. gracilis in the pronotum being slightly raised 

 and undulated along the central keel ; the upper surface is brown, 

 Mith several raised longitudinal whitish lines. 



Length, to end of pronotum, 16 mm. ; to end of wings, IS mm. 



Bombay. 



I should have regarded this insect as another variety of the 

 very variable JI. gracilis, but for the longitudinally ridged pro- 

 notum. It should perhaps form a new genus ; but I have only 

 two specimens before me in too bad condition to describe in detail.
