little irregularly reticulate instead of the single series of cells usual in 

 the division of the genus to which this species belongs. In the female, 

 the ulnar area of the tegmina is less than twice as broad as the dis- 

 coidal area and is occupied by a single series of weak and widely sepa- 

 rated veins. The general color of the female is green with the under 

 parts, the sides of the abdomen, and the inner and lower faces of the 

 posterior femora and the posterior tibiae brown ; with the lateral carinae 

 of the pronotum whitish, accompanied by a very narrow black line, 

 external on the prozone, internal on the metazone. The tegmina are 

 grass-green and c^uite immaculate. The male is wholly testaceous, 

 varying to dark brown except the upper surface of the head, the disk 

 of the pronotum, and the anal field of the tegmina. The discoidal 

 field is obsoletely maculate, with a few irregularly scattered small 

 spots. 



Described from two females from Mexico City, Mexico, and San 

 Antonio, Texas, and four females from Mexico City and Tlalpam, 

 Mexico. All of these specimens are in my collection except the speci- 

 men from San Antonio which is in the National Museum. The last 

 mentioned specimen differs a little from the other male, especially in 

 having the frontal costa plainly sulcate with heavy lateral carinas and 

 the ulnar area of the tegmina has more numerous cross-veins. I think, 

 however, that it belongs to the species here described. 



Hab. Mexico City, Tlalpam, Mexico, San Antonio, Texas.

I am unacquainted with this species and the descriptions are too 

 meagre to determine its position, but I include it here for the sake of 

 completeness.
