Fig. 102. — Spharagemon collate Sc. 



Hadrotettix Sc. 



Similar in structure and coloration to Trimerotropis ; size large, thick 

 through the metazona; antennas long and heavy; neck constricted; scu- 

 tellum of the vertex not sulcate; pronotal carinas scarcely visible; teg- 

 mina relatively short compared to the length of the body, trifasciate with 

 solid bands, thickened, densely coriaceous beyond the edge of the basal 

 band, quadrate cells not much within the basal branch of the radial sec- 

 tor; fuscous arcuate band of wing beyond the middle and lacking a spur; 

 inside of posterior femora deep indigo blue with an apical light band. 



Hadrotettix trifasciatus Say. 



Robust, resembling very much some of the species of Trimerotropis. 

 Color varies from gray through light reddish brown to quite dark brown. 

 Antennae long, heavy, lighter in color at the base. Frontal costa very 

 slightly sulcate, slightly converging from the base upward. Scutellum 

 of the vertex not sulcate at all. Pronotum large, relatively smooth, 

 slightly punctate; principal sulcus quite deeply impressed; pronotal 

 carinas scarcely visible. Tegmina short in comparison to the length of 

 the body; trifasciate with almost solid bands; densely coriaceous for 

 three-fourths of the length; thickened, quadrate cells not much within 

 the basal branch of the radial sector. Base of wings hyaline, faintly 

 tinged with blue; fuscous arcuate band beyond the middle and without a 

 spur; tip hyaline, slightly infuscated. Posterior femora stout, exterior 

 with a deep fuscous band, interior deep indigo blue with a light band 

 apically. Tibia? and tarsi pink to bright red. 



Quite equally distributed throughout the state in rocky, dry places.
