 third with long curved terete tips. 



Described from eight females and one male collected by

Chlorotettix productus n. sp. 

 Plate XIII, Figs. 19, 20. 



Small wedge-shaped species with well rounded vertex, a little more 

 produced than in viridius. Female, length 5 mm. 



Vertex roundingly produced, not angled, almost parallel margined; 

 slightly longer on middle than next the eye, about twice as wide as long. 

 Pronotum strongly and convexly produced, truncated posteriorly, 

 lateral margins well rounded. Front broad, inflated. 



Color: Dull yellowish green without definite markings. Vertex 

 and frons shading to buff. Elytra greenish, subhyaline, distinctly 

 shiny. Paler below, tip of ovipositor and bristles, yellowish. 



Genitalia: Female last ventral segment one-third longer than 

 preceding and longitudinally striated. Lateral angles roundingly 

 produced. Posterior margin concavely sinuate to produced median 

 third, slightly notched at middle. Pygofers with heavy bristles on 

 posterior half. 



The produced last ventral female segment distinguishes this species 

 from others of the genus. 



Described from three female specimens swept from a low 

 shrub at Battle Point, Virginia, June 23, 1918, by the senior 

 author. Type and paratypes in authors' collections.
