a siibequal baud of bice green, on the mctazoua. liowever, this border 

 becomes fainter caudad until it is not apparent, the median section of 

 the pronotum is almost clove brown. Anal field and a portion of the 

 adjoining discoidal field bice green, absent, however, in the distal 

 fourth; pattern of the tegmina formed by five distinct and two or 

 more faintly indicated transverse bars of bistre, the pale bars distad 

 and none encroaching on the costal field or the green dorsal section. 

 Wings with the disk carmine. ^Vntro-lateral carinse of the caudal 

 femora with regularl}- spaced dark blotches, the dorso-lateral face 

 quite dark; caudal tibice wood brown in the male, of the same color 

 but strongly sprinkled with bistre in the female.

A series of three topotypic females have been examined in additicni 

 to the types. In size these individuals var}^ somewhat, one being 

 slightly larger than the type, the others of about the same size with 

 slightly shorter tegmina. In color the variation is chiefly in individual 

 variation in shades of brown, the pattern remaining much the same, 

 the green areas being brown as in the male in two of the three speci- 

 mens. The caudal tibiae are light in two and dark in one of the para- 

 typic specimens examined.

 of the tegminal blotches. The phase with green on the lateral portions 

 of the disk of the pronotum and on the anal and contiguous portion 

 of the discoidal field of the tegmina as described by Bruner." is repre- 

 sented by five females.
