McNEILL REVISION OF THE TKUXALIN^ OF NORTH AMERICA. 241 



are outlined with a lighter color. The elytra may be (a) nearly uni- 

 form brown ; (/^) nearly uniform green, except the radial field, which is 

 more or less completely brown or fuscous with a single row of darker 

 spots extending through the discoidal area to or beyond the middle of 

 the tegmina; {c) the anal field concolorous with the occiput and disk 

 of the pronotum, and the costal field green or some shade of brown 

 different from that of the anal field. 



The posterior femora are greenish or brown, with the outer face 

 more or less infuscated but never plainly banded. 



The posterior tibiae are dull brown, yellowish without any pale annu- 

 lation near the base. 



This is a common or abundant species from the Yellowstone Valley 

 to Maine. In Northern Illinois it is confined to the tops and sides of 

 the hills. In suitable situations (somewhat dry pasture lands) it is not 

 uncommon as far south as Kansas and North-west Arkansas, and I have 

 found it common on the hills about Shreveport, La. 



I have examined Mr. Scudder's type of ..S". speciosus and ^. gracilis 

 and I think there is no doubt of their specific identity with S. aqualis. 

 I have also a specimen of S. biliueatus (Scud.) from Dr. Scudder's 

 cabinet, and I think there is no reasonable doubt of its identity with 

 the above-named species.
