Hippiscus haldemanii Sc. 

 CEdipoda haldemanii. Final Rep. of U. S. G. S. of Neb., by F. V. 

 Hayden. Washington; 1872. 



This species is closely allied to CE. corallipes Hald., but differs from 

 it in the greater rugosity of the pronotunl and in the greater separa- 

 tion and distinctness of the markings on the tegmina. The wings are 

 pale yellow at base, hyaline with black veins at tip and across the 

 middle, have a rather narrow fuliginous band, curving regularly around 

 to the inner angle, broken at the division of the central and inner areas 

 of the wing, and above this projected strongly and broadly inward, 

 almost to the very base of the wing; at the costal border the band 

 becomes almost piceous. 



Length from vertex to tip of tegmina, male, 1.25 in.; female, 1.8 in. 

 One male and four females. Nebraska City and the banks of the Platte. 



Generally of large size and exceedingly Variable characters. Vertex 

 of fastigium usually of type A, but varying in large series toward 

 type B. Carina of pronotum cut by one or two sulci, the carina very 

 rarely obliterated between them. Disk of wings red or yellow. Macula- 

 Fir;. 90. — U. haldemanii Sc. Post, femora red.
