PSYCHE. 



[September iSgS. 



robust species with interspace strongly transverse (Fig. 

 39a). Prosternal spine variable, rather short. Ovi- 

 positor similar to that of e.xtremiis or a little stouter. 



AI. fasciatus. 

 Hind femora not obliquely banded, rarely with traces 

 of dusky on dorsal part of inner face. Hind tibiae 

 variable. Tegmina brownish olive, immaculate or 

 very nearly so. General color varying from greenish 

 to brownish olive, with black markings. Interspace 

 varying from sub-quadrate to rather strongly trans- 

 verse. Tegmina variable in length, sometimes passing 

 hind femora. Prosternal spine variable, most resem- 

 bling that of femur-rubrum. Scoop of ovipositor in 

 side view without angulation at junction with stem 

 (Fig. 41a). . . . . M. extremus. 



ON SOME NEW AND ANOMALOUS TETTIGONINAE. 



BY C. F. ?!.'ilCER, AUBURN, ALA. 



The following new species belong to 

 genera not before recorded from Amer- 

 ica. They occupy as anomalous a posi- 

 tion among the Tettigoninae, as does 

 Tinobregmus among the Jassinae. Like 

 Tinobregmus, they present a remarkable 

 difiference in the two sexes, and are 

 heavily robust in form. All four species 

 belong to the far west, the eastern limit 

 being Colorado. 



The ocelli are not as near the front 

 margin of the vertex as in some other 

 unquestioned Tettigonids. Compared 

 with Acocephalus, the eyes are distant 

 from the front edge of vertex, and 

 occupy a position never approached by 

 the ocelli in Acocephalus. Besides, 

 other details of structure show a closer 



relationship with the Tettigonine series, 

 where I have placed them. The single 

 species of Bathysmatophorus, reitteri, was 

 described from the Scandinavian coun- 

 tries. Errhofnenus, with its single' spe- 

 cies, lirachyptcrus, is quite widely distrib- 

 uted in Central Europe. 



Bathysmatophorus uhleri n. sp. Length 

 of $ 9.5 mm. Color pale brownish, irrorate 

 with darker, minutely so on head and prono- 

 tum, coarsely on dorsum and fore femora. 



Vertex about a half longer on middle than 

 next eyes, rather strongly depressed ; ocelli 

 about midway of its length, and somewhat 

 nearer the median line than to eyes. The 

 front subrectangular in general outline, a 

 little broader above, somewhat timidly ex- 

 tended, and crossed by numerous faint dark 

 arcs. Clvpeus regularly oblong, nearly two-
