the female lanceolate; styles slightly arcuate, tapering; ovipositor 

 slightly less than twice as long as the head and pronotum together^ 

 slightly falcate, moderately broad and subequal in the proximal half,, 

 tapering distad to the acute apex; subgenital plate of the female 

 trigonal, somewhat inflated, the narrow apical portion subtruncate. 

 Caudal femora consideral)ly inflated proximad, ventral margins 

 unarmed. 



General color varying from buff to tawny olive, distinctly greenish 

 in life, the lateral aspects of the head, pronotum and pleura pale olive- 

 buff in the dried specimen. Eyes broccoli brown; antennae burnt 

 miiber becoming drab distad ; a broad median bar from the fastigium 

 to the caudal section of the pronotal disk burnt umber, broken and 

 irregular in the female; caudal tibia? with the dorsal face olive.

A paratypic series of ten males and nine females have also been 

 examined, as well as a single male taken at Gainesville (August 16; 

 in pine woods). The series exhibits some slight variation in size and 

 considerable in the intensity of the broad median bar on the head and 

 pronotum. In several specimens the latter is hardly indicated. The 

 amount of variation in the shape of the ovipositor is very slight, and 

 practical^ no variation is noticed in the form of the male cerci. 



This species was found in the flooded salt marsh among tall grasses. 

 The individuals displayed great agility in eluding capture, using both 

 their leaping and flying power, tho.^e taken being secured chiefly by 

 beating.

Allied to 0. delicatmn Bruner and 0. vokmtum McNeill, differing from 

 l)(»th in the very long ovipositor and peculiar cerci. From ddicatinn it 

 also differs in the larger size and the shorter su])genital plate of the male. 



Size medium (for the genus), form moderately slender. Head with 

 the fastigium very slightly elevated, the fastigium longer than l)road 

 and narrower proximad than distad, apex subtruncate when viewed
