PSYCHE. 



[August 1S92. 



4. Chlorotettix galbanatus n. sp. 



Form of C. unicolor but smaller, with a 

 longer vertex. Length 6 mm. 



Female. Head scarcely wider than the 

 pronotum. Vertex longer than in unicolor 

 and obtusely pointed before, closely and 

 coarsely punctured. Front longer and nar- 

 rower and the apex proportionately broader 

 than in unicolor. Cheeks obtusely angled 

 below the eye, the edge straight from the 

 angle to the tip of the clypeus forming a 

 narrow margin beyond the lorae. Clypeus 

 broad, slightly widened apically. Pronotum 

 longer than in unicolor; margin more convex 

 before and more concave behind than in that 

 species. Last ventral segment with a rather 

 broad Ungulate incisure reaching nearly to 

 its base and leaving a broadly rounded lobe 

 on either side, the inner angles of which may 

 be either rounded oft" or produced in a short 

 tooth. Oviduct very slightly surpassing the 

 pygofers. 



Color pale yellowish green, nearly uniform 

 over the whole insect; elytra hyaline, costa 

 green; tergum more or less embrowned, 



margins yellowish; wings white, nervures 

 slender, pale brown; eyes, tip of the rostrum, 

 and the claws blackish. 



Described from three examples re- 

 ceived from Mr. E. B. Southwick and 

 captured by him in the vicinity of New 

 York City in June and July ; and one 

 specimen taken by Mr. W. J. Palmer, 

 Jr., of this city, on Mt. Balsam, near 

 Asheville, N. C, in July, 1SS9. The 

 latter has the notch in the last ventral 

 segment scarcely deeper than wide and 

 the outer angles more prominent than 

 in the New York examples. This spe- 

 cies differs from its congeners by its 

 produced, almost angular vertex and in 

 this respect is not characteristic of the 

 genus in which I have placed it. In 

 the form of the last ventral segment it 

 approaches tergatus. The male is still 

 unknown to me.
