IGO FAMILY V.-CEDIPODIN^. 



seen by consulting the table of genera of the CEdipodini 

 Morse adds to the description of this genus by Scudder that 

 the median carina of the pronotum is divided by the prin- 

 cipal sulcus into two parts, the front portion a little shorter. 

 The eyes of our species are of moderate size, and rather prom- 

 inent in the males. 



Spharagemon coUare. Scudder. 



Central foveola of the vertex rather broader than long 

 in the female, in the male slightly elongate ; frontal costa 

 flat or convex above the ocellus, with a shallow sulcus be- 

 low; sides nearly' parallel. Median carina of the pronotum 

 prominent, sub-cristate, with a very narrow but deep ob- 

 lique notch a little in advance of the middle; the top 

 slightly arcuate; lateral carinas indistinct; sides of the disk 

 ascending. Tegmina and wings pass the abdomen about 

 one-third their length. Dark reddish-brown. Lower half o\ 

 head and a broad band along the posterior edge of the pro- 

 notum a clay-yellow, sprinkled with a few fuscous dots. 

 Tegmina mottled some what uniformly with fuscous blotches 

 and dots, which form three irregular bands, one at the base, 

 which is broad, the middle one narrowest, the apical one 

 sometimes lost in the nearly equal mottling of the tip. 

 Wings pale yellow at base; a broad median black band oc- 

 cupying the middle third, crossing the wing at right angles, 

 decreasing along the posterior margin, around which it 

 curves to the anal angle, throwing out a short, blunt, sub- 

 frontal spur about one-third the distance to the base; apical 

 portion transparent, nerves dusky, and tip clouded or with 

 dusk}^ spots. Hind femora clay-yellow, w^ith two bands and 

 apex fuscous externally and black internally; hind tibia' 

 reddish. Antennte fuscous at the apex. 



According to Prof. Morse the species described as colJare, 

 Wyomingianum, and Scudderi approach each other so closely 

 that it is almost impossible to definitely limit them. Typi 

 cal specimens of these forms can be readily distinguished,
