ceous with a trace of piceous along the sides immediately below the lateral 

 carina of the pronotum. The hind femora also show traces of darker 

 mottlings, while the anterior and middle tibiae are faintly fasciate. The 

 face, cheeks and lower anterior edges of the pronotum are not especially 

 pallid as in the same sex of lateralis. 



Length of body, c?, 8.5 mm.; of pronotum, 10.5 mm.; to tip of wings, 

 12.25 mm.; of hind femora, 5.85 mm.

Tettigidea subaptera sp. nov. 



An insect below the medium in size and with abbreviated pronotum and 

 wings, reminding one at first sight of some of the short-winged North 

 American species. Anterior edge of the pronotum angulate and uncinate 

 at tip, the disk provided with longitudinal supplementary carinje. Hind 

 femora comparatively robust and short. Head and body somewhat 

 coarsely granulated. 



Head rather small, deeply set into the front edge of the pronotum, the 

 vertex gently advanced beyond the eyes, rounded or subangulate, the 

 sides well carinated and the top of the head provided with deep, coarse 

 longitudinal sulci and rounded ridges that reach from the pronotum to 

 the carina of front edge; frontal costa prominent, viewed laterally widely 

 bowed between the antennae, narrowly sulcate, the walls coarse and granu- 

 lated internally. Antennae short, situated on a level with the lower edge 

 of the prominent eyes. Pronotum in both sexes not quite reaching the 

 apex of the abdomen, median carina coarse and somewhat prominent 

 but not arcuate, the lateral carinae also prominent but interrupted for a 

 short distance back of the first transverse groove, the supplemental carinae 

 of the disk, two or three on each side, not much broken. Tegmina im- 

 maculate, of medium size, the lower edge broadly rounded and compara- 

 ti^"ely smooth; wings usually rudimentary, in no case reaching the tip of 

 the pronotum. Hind femora robust, comparatively smooth, extending 

 nearly or quite one-third of their length beyond the apex of the abdomen. 



General color variable above, in some specimens pale testaceous varied 

 with fuscous, in others nearly uniformly dark fuscous, below testaceous. 

 Males with the face and lower cheeks as well as the under side and lower 

 edge of femora pale testaceous; the tibiae and tarsi and sometimes the 

 femora of both sexes fasciate or blotched with the pale shades. Outer 

 joints of the palpi very broad, dirty white.
