PSl 



vary considerably in the proportions 

 of the eyes and head. 



The species is vei'v variable in color, 

 partly, no doubt, in accordance with 

 its environment, showing well the 

 three extremes of fuscous, fulvous, and 

 pale buff coloration ; and in markings, 

 those of the tegmina being sometimes 

 almost entirely obsolete. The wing- 

 band varies greatly in width ; in a ^ 

 from Iowa in Scudder's collection it is 

 nearly one-third the breadth of the 

 wing, being double the width as found 

 in many specimens. 



Since my previous paper I have 

 obtained it from the following addi- 

 tional New England localities : Brattle- 

 boro, Vt. (Mrs. J. B. Powers) ; Ded- 

 ham and Belmont, Mass. (C. J. May- 

 nard) ; Adams, Dover, and Martha's 

 Vineyard Id., Mass. ; Canaan, Deep 

 River, N. Windham, and So. Kent, 

 Conn. 1 have also received it from 

 Toronto, Can. (C. Hills) ; Ft. Ancient, 

 O., Williamsville, Mo. (S. W. Den- 

 ton) ; Vigo and Marshall Co's, Ind. 

 (Blatchley) ; Hot Springs, Dak. (Bru- 

 ner). Bruner (inlitt.) reports it from 

 E. and N. W. Neb., Kas., 111., Va., S. 

 Dak., Iowa, Texas. In addition to 

 manv of these localities, Scudder's col- 

 lection contains examples from Georgia, 

 N. Car., and Colo., 6300-7000 feet. 

 The National Museum material con- 

 sists of specimens from Ind., June 29 

 (BoUman) ; Washington, D. C, and 

 Texas. Prof. Garman reports it from 

 eastern and Western Kentucky (Orth. 

 of Ky., p. 9. — 6th ann. rept. Kv. agr. 

 exp. sta.).

This may be only an extremely large 

 form oi bolli. The onl}- specimen seen 

 differs, in addition to its larger size and 

 more robust form of head and body, in 

 having the posterior process of the pro- 

 notum more produced (as shown by 

 the measurements), distinctly acute- 

 angled, with excavated sides and the 

 median carina less elevated on the pro- 

 zona and less compressed throughout.

Similar to bolli but lacks the fuscous 

 and pale markings of the hind tibiae, 

 which are pale reddish throizghout, and 

 the inner side of the hind femora has 

 tlie two basal fuscous bands obsolete in 

 the tibial sulcus. Two additional fe- 

 males in Bruner's collection have hind 

 tibiae as above. Male unknown. The 

 pronotal carina is scarcely as high as 

 in bolli and is sharply and equally 

 compressed throughout.
