HlPPISCUS (X.) PARDAL1NUS. 



Oedipoda fardalina Sauss., Rev. mag. 

 zool., 1861, 324; Orth. nova amer., 2, 27; 

 Thorn., Syn. Acrid. N. A., 213-214. 



Xanthippus pardalinus Sauss. , Prodr. 

 Oedip., 90. 



This is a very widespread species. 

 I have seen specimens from Nevada ; 

 several localities in Utah, all of E. 

 Palmer's collecting, as Mt. Trumbull, 

 June 7-10, Mokiak Pass near St. 

 George, April 20-30, Parowan, 6oco' 

 in irrigated fields near low moun- 

 tains, July 3-10; San Diego and 

 Rock Spring in southern California (E. 

 Palmer) ; the state of Vera Cruz, Mex- 

 ico (Brunei"), and the vicinity of Mex- 

 ico, Mex. (E. Palmer). Saussure 

 mentions it from California, New Mex- 

 ico, Orizaba and Peubla, Mexico, and 

 from the West Indies and Venezuela. 

 In the United States, then, it has not 

 been found east of the Rocky Moun- 

 tains nor north of Lat. 40 . 



Hippiscus (X.) maculatus sp. nov. 



Head of moderate size not very tumid 

 above; dull cinereous, more or less fuscous 

 above ; median carina of vertex slight, termi- 

 nating in the middle of the fastigium, oppo- 

 site which the low lateral walls are consider- 

 ably angulated ; biareolate apical foveola 

 subcircular in J, obscure and transversely 

 elliptical in $ ; frontal costa rather deeply 

 sulcate, narrowed considerably above. Pro- 



notum plane above, the median carina low, of 

 uniform height, cut by both sulci and more 

 or less obsolete between ; lateral carinae 

 sharp, distinctly passing over under the pro- 

 zona; process of metazona rectangulate or 

 less, the surface variable but verruculose or 

 coarsely arenaceous, the tendency of the 

 verrucosities to be longitudinal ; lateral lobes 

 bluntly subdued verrucose ; dorsum of prono- 

 tum blackish fuscous with obscure pallid, sub- 

 decussate, strongly divergent, posteriorly 

 narrowing stripes; lateral lobes obscure with 

 a median semilunate blackish patch seated 

 on a small quadrate whitish spot. Tegmina 

 cinereous marked with rounded blackish fus- 

 cous and minutely black edged spots having 

 much the position of those of the species 

 which have here preceded but generally 

 more rounded, more contracted, and hence 

 more distant than in them, the sutural stripe 

 rather broad, clear, and testaceous. Wings 

 pale citron at base, the apex vitreous with 

 black reticulation, and between a moderately 

 broad, blackish fuliginous, arcuate band 

 scarcely narrowing above and united, except 

 for the slender pallid axillary line, with the 

 humeral vitta, the outer limit of which is op- 

 posite the middle or inner margin of the 

 arcuate band, and which narrows and be- 

 comes duller as it passes toward the base 

 which it is far from reaching; inner portion 

 of costal margin citron as far as below, fol- 

 lowed by a slender blackish stigma. Hind 

 femora externally hoary cinereous below, 

 darker above, with very oblique broad black- 

 ish stripes and apically a semilunate black 

 spot; beneath and apically within coral red; 

 hind tibiae coral red, externally hoary with 

 black tipped spines.

A specimen from Colorado collected 

 by Morrison is in Mr. Henshaw's col- 

 lection, and in mine a $ from Pueblo, 

 Colorado, which I collected on July 8 

 or 9 and a 9 from San Luis Potosi,
