26. Schistocerca sonorensis sp. nov. 



Of medium size and not very stout, testaceous. Head testaceous with 

 none but the most obscure markings ; frontal costa subequal, deeply sul- 

 cate below the ocellus ; eyes very much longer than the intraocular portion 

 of the genjB ; autennge a third longer than the head and pronotum to- 

 gether, luteous. Pronotum distinctly subtectate with an excessively blunt 

 median carina, testaceous, without markings except a slight indication of 

 a quadrate fuscous patch on the lateral lobes ; prozona slightly produced 

 and rounded anteriorly, a very little shorter than the metazona, bluntly 

 rugulose, the metazona punctate but scarcely rugulose, broadening poste- 

 riorly so as to be a very little wider than at the eyes, posteriorly obtus- 

 angulate, the angle narrowly rounded. Prosternal spine luoderate, 

 cylindrical, erect, blunt. Tegmina extending far beyond the abdomen, 

 slender, testaceous, the median area profusely but obscurely maculate, 

 the maculations in the distal half mostly elongate ; wings hyaline, with 

 the very faintest possible apical infumation, immaculate. Fore and 

 middle femora not enlarged ; hind femora testaceous, the outer face hoary, 

 the inner with feeble fuscous clouds as the basis of fasciation, the carinas 

 punctate with fuscous on the proximal half ; hind tibise testaceous, the 

 spines luteous with black tips. Male cerci feebly incurved, tapering 

 gently by the slope of the upper margin, nearly twice as long as middle 

 breadth, apically truncate and minutely emarginate ; subgenital plate 

 rather long and slender, scaphiforra, apically acuminate on a side view 

 due to the slope of the inferior margin, hardly compressed, apically deeply 

 fissate, the fissure closed.
