Hippiscus tuberculatum P. d. B. 

 General size large; vertex of fastigium of type A not converging so 

 sharply anteriorly as in phcenicopterus; carina of pronotum cut by 

 one sulci, sharp but not high; pronotum the smoothest of the Kansas 

 forms; head smaller in comparison to pronotum than in phcenicopterus; 

 color varying from dark fuscous to very light brown, with even lighter 

 markings; tegmina very unevenly maculate; disk of wings red, bordered 

 by black arcuate band whose spur reaches to base of wings, apical por- 

 tion of wings hyaline, veins black; inside of posterior femora yellow 

 with three black spots, the two basal ones connected. 



This striking hopper is readily distinguished from phcenicopterus 

 by the inside of the hind femora, spur of the wing, and general appear- 

 ance of the head and pronotum.
