426 SNODGRASS 



Antennae pale at base, beyond this dusky, the segments ringed distally 

 with narrow marginal band of yellowish. Pronotum yellowish-brown, 

 irregularly punctate with black, metazona with a reddish-brown dif- 

 fusion, especially posteriorly; upper part of side of prozona with two 

 poorly defined black stripes, one continuous with upper half of post- 

 ocular stripe and the other with the lower. Meso- and metathorax 

 same color as pronotum, punctate with black on sides, paler and with- 

 out black spots below. Prothoracic and mesothoracic legs same color 

 as thorax, marked with small black spots ; metathoracic femur paler 

 than rest of body, with a row of distinct black spots along upper and 

 lower outer cai'inse, lower ones being the larger, two very indistinctly 

 outlined black saddle spots across the dorsal half, one just in front of, 

 the other just behind, the middle, femur terminally dusky ; tibia color 

 of rest of the body with spines yellowish, tipped with black, a row of 

 small black spots along inner side of tibia. Tegmina with no dif- 

 ferentiation of membrane of the pre- and post-median areas, veins of 

 the latter, however, all dusky, those of former paler brownish ; dorsal 

 surface of closed tegmina wuth distinct rusty tinge ; on sides numerous 

 black maculations, basally these are especially black and are elongated, 

 distally they are paler, smaller and more equal-sided. Abdomen light 

 brown with tei^ga mottled with irregular longitudinal black streaks. 



Length of tegmina, 34 mm. 



Variations (16 specimens). — The head is generally almost uniform 

 dull yellowish, yellowish-brown, or reddish-brown, with the posterior 

 part of the gena yellowish in all cases. The post-ocular stripe is 

 always present. The prozona has generally a broad, pretty distinct 

 black band along the upper part of the lateral lobes, continuous in 

 front with the black post-ocular stripe. Sometimes this band is solid 

 black, sometimes it is entirely split lengthwise by a yellowish band, 

 and sometimes the yellow forms merely a small spot in the black, in 

 which case the spot is on the scutum. Below this the prozona is dull 

 yellowish-brown, dorsally it is darker. The metazona is in nearly all 

 cases uniform brown. The black blotches on the hind femora are 

 generally not so well formed as on the Hood Island specimens, and 

 the black longitudinal connecting band is seldom present. There is a 

 distinct tendency toward a yellow coloration of the median dorsal part 

 of the pronotum and of the inner margins of the tegmina, making a 

 median dorsal yellowish band. This is well marked in some and in 

 others entirely absent.

 = 27.4 mm. ; oi fe?nale, 33, 32, 34, 32, 34, 36 = 33.5 mm.
