tinguished from it by liaving the pro- 

 notal carina cut by two sulci and in 

 which the head is smaller. 



42 (? , 20 $ , many antennae dam- 

 aged, give the following measurements : 

 Ant.: J', 14-14.5; $,13.8-14. Hind 

 fern.: $, 13.3-1S.4 ; $, i6. 3-18.6. 

 Teg. : $ , 24.6-34 ; 9 , 30-36. Total : 

 (?, 31-42; ?, 3S-45 mm. 



Like saxatile, specimens sometimes 

 have the metazona slightly arched in 

 longitudinal section and the carina less 

 compressed. 



This species is often of a grayish cast 

 of color, the disk of the wings pale in 

 tint and with the veining at base no- 

 ticeably glaucous. About one-half of 

 the specimens seen are '• collared." 

 Specimens from Manitou and else- 

 where in Colorado show the reddish 

 suffusion mentioned in the earlier pait 

 of this paper, while those from Dallas, 

 Texas, are vivid in tint, with strongly 

 contrasting colois ; in this form it is 

 the handsomest member of the genus. 

 In these the hind thighs are sufiused 

 with red internally along the median 

 ridge. Superficially this form of the 

 species bears some resemblance to 

 Hadrotettix trifasciata, which prob- 

 ably accounts for the labeling men- 

 tioned above. 



In distriljution it is widespread. I 

 have examined specimens as follows : 

 Ft. Walsh, Br. Amer., Sept. (Nat. 

 mus.) ; Boise City and Salmon City, 

 Id., Aug. (Bruner and Nat. mus.) ; 

 Custer, Black Hills, and Harney's Pk., 

 Dak., 7000-Sooo ft. (Nat. mus.) ; Yel- 

 lowstone, Mont. (Nat. mus.) ; Ft. 

 McKin, Wyo., Aug. (Nat. mus.) ; 



Pueblo, July S-Aug. 31, 4700 ft. ; 

 and Manitou, Colo., Aug. 25, 6-}fi(f 

 ft. (Scudder) ; Salt Lake Vail., Utah, 

 Aug. 1-4, 4300ft. (Scudder) ; Chadron, 

 Gordon, Ft. Robinson (Nat. mus.), 

 and Nebraska City (Scudder) Neb. ; 

 San Antonio, — Newell, — June (Bru- 

 ner) , Dallas, July, — Boll, — and col- 

 lected l)y Belfrage, June and July 

 (Scudder and Nat. mus.). Prof. Bru- 

 ner reports it also from Eastern Wash- 

 ington, Snake R., Id., and Barbour 

 Co., Kansas.

There is little new to be added here 

 to the full account of this species pub- 

 lished in my previous paper. Addi- 

 tional localities where I have secured 

 it in New England are Canaan, So. 

 Kent, and Deep River, Conn. At 

 the latter place it is quite common. I 

 have received it from Belmont, Mass., 

 through Mr. C. J. Maynard, from 

 which locality some of the specimens 

 show a distinct pale bluish tint along 

 the edges of the tegmina and the pos- 

 terior margin of the pronotum. I have 

 yet to see a "collared" example. It 

 has been reported from New Jersey by 

 Beutenmtiller ( Journ. N. Y. ent. soc, 

 ii, 144 ; Bull. Amer. mus. uat. hist., vi, 

 301) occurring in situations similar to 

 its haunts in Nev\' England. 



It should be looked for, and will 

 jjrobably be found, on rocky hills in
