half again as broad as long, and distinctly longer than the anterior in- 

 fraoeular portion of the genae; antennae moderately stout, somewhat 

 longer (male) or a little shorter (female) than the head and pronotum 

 together. Pronotum subequal, even in the female, very feebly and gradu- 

 ally enlai"ging in passing backward, with a distinct percurrent median 

 carina, the disk very broadly subtectate, passing by a rounded angle 

 hardly forming a lateral carina into the vertical lateral lobes, the front 

 subtruncate, the hind angle very obtusely angulate, the very coarsely, 

 feebly, and sparsely punctate prozona half again as long as the finely and 

 suddenly punctate metazona, its posterior margin faintly angularly 

 emarginate, the transverse sulci feeble, one dividing into two equal halves 

 and straight, the other a third the way behind it to the metazona and 

 sinuate. Prosternal spine erect, moderately slender, conical; interspace 

 between mesosternal lobes more than twice as long (male) or nearly 

 half as long again (female) as its middle breadth, the shape being 

 strongly clepsydral from the convexity of the inner margin of the lobes, 

 the metasternal lobes subattingent, especially in the male. Tegmina ab- 

 breviate, acuminate, attingent or overlapping, about as long as the 

 pronotum. Fore and middle femora slightly tumid in the male; hind 

 femora slender, somewhat compressed, the lower genicular lobe not free 

 from markings, the hind tibia with nine to ten spines in the outer series. 

 Abdomen of male not clavate nor turned upward apically, the lateral 

 margins of the subgenital plate straight from the very base, acutangulate 

 at tip, with a slight, blunt, apical tubercle; cerci very slender and simple; 

 furcula consisting of a pair of slight cylindrical slender fingers, sub- 

 parallel or more or less crossing one another, perhaps parallel in life. —

Hypochlora alba Dodge. 



Whitish to yellowish green, rather small, the head with a pallid stripe 

 from the upper margin of the eye backward, extending in the paler forms 

 across the entire pronotum and downward on the pleura of the metanotum. 

 An olive-green postocular band extends backward over the entire 

 pronotum; the antennae of the darker forms are ferruginous except at 

 the extreme base, where they are somewhat paler. The median and 

 lateral carina are marked by narrow yellowish stripes, becoming white in 

 the paler forms; tegmina pale grass green to testaceous; the sulcus, 

 which divides the median ridge of the supra-anal plate, fails to reach the 

 tip in some cases.
