jo. Orphulella crassa sp. nov. 



Body unusually robust, compressed, and deep for the genus, re- 

 minding one strongly of an Orphula and also of Orphulella mexicana 

 Saussure. Tegmina of female somewhat abbreviated, their apex sub- 

 oblique. Wings with the disk tinged with yellow or vinaceous, their 



apical half somewhat infuscated. Lateral foveolse of vertex shallow 

 and inconspicuous. 



Head about as wide as the Iron 1 edge of the pronotum, rather higher 

 than usual, viewed laterally slightly elevated above the 'pronotum, 

 the front strongly oblique, uearly straight, meeting with the vertex at 

 an acute angle; the latter a little longer than wide and somewhat 

 acuminate even in the female, the anterolateral walls profound and 

 provided within by an unusually deep suleation. Eyes large, promi- 

 uent, their length about equaling (<?) or a little shorter (9) than the 

 anterior margin of the cheeks below them. Antenna' in the female 

 with the joints on basal half strongly depressed, about as long as the 

 head and pronotum taken together, in the males rather heavy, the 

 basal joints but little depressed, somewhat exceeding the combined 

 length of head and pronotum. Pronotum a little narrower in front 

 than behind, compressed, the lateral lobes a little higher than long, 

 the lower margin sinuate; anterior lobe plainly longer than the 

 posterior one, lateral carina? entire and parallel in advance of the 

 last transverse sulcus, rather strongly divergent back of it, posterior 

 margin obtusangulate. Meso- and metathorax unusually deep, these 

 with the deep basal abdominal segments giving the insert an abnormal 

 perpendicular diameter. Tegmina irregularly and moderately stronglj 

 veined, in the females somewhat abbreviated, little if any surpassing 

 the apex of the abdomen; in the males fairly broad, of normal length. 

 Hind femora robust, t heir apex passing the tip. of the abdomen in both 

 sexes; hind tibiae ten- to eleven-spined externally. Mesosternal lobes 

 separated by a space equal in width to the lobes themselves, their 

 inner edge broadly rounded. 



General color variable, ranging from green, pale testaceous, fer-
