SCUDDER SUPPLEMENT TO A REVISION OF THE MELANOPLI. I 59 



interspace between the eyes, a little sulcate except, perhaps, above, 

 sparsely biseriately punctate above; eyes rather small, prominent in 

 the male, scarcely ( ? ) or fully (c?) as long as the infraocular portion 

 of the genae; antennae testaceous, more or less infuscated apically and 

 lutescent basally, often more or less rufous, about four-fifths (d^) or 

 two-thirds (?) as long as the hind femora. Pronotum enlarging 

 slightly on the posterior half, especially in the female, the disk oliva- 

 ceous (d^) or olivaceo-testaceous most heavily punctate with fuscous 

 (9), convex and passing insensibly into the vertical lateral lobes, 

 which are pale flavo-testaceous below, the piceous stripe with a con- 

 cave lower margin ; median carina slight, percurrent, subequal; front 

 and hind margins truncate; prozona feebly longitudinal (d^)or quad- 

 rate (?), punctate anteriorly and posteriorly (cJ*) or equally through- 

 out (?), almost twice as long as the punctate metazona. Prosternal 

 spine blunt, conical, short, especially in the female ; interspace be- 

 tween mesosternal lobes a little transverse and nearly as broad as the 

 lobes (d") or almost twice as broad as long and fully as broad as 

 the lobes (V ), the metasternal lobes subap proximate (rj^ ) or nearly as 

 distant as the mesosternal lobes (+ ). Tegmina wanting. Fore and 

 middle femora considerably tumid in the male, Olivaceo-testaeeous, 

 more or less infuscated; hind femora slender, testaceous (?) or oli- 

 vaceo-testaceous (c? ) more or less infuscated in faint bifasciate clouds, 

 beneath (and within at base) bright red, the geniculation blackish 

 fuscous; hind tibiae luteous (d^) or reddish (? ), the spines black in 

 the apical half, 9-10 in number in the outer series. Abdomen 

 hardly (d^ ) or distinctly (?) compressed, carinate, either dull olivaceo- 

 testaceous, very heavily punctate with fuscous above, lighter below, 

 the margins of the segments reddish ( ? ), or olivaceous, more or less 

 infuscated above, flavo-olivaceous below, the sides more or less pic- 

 eous except apically (d^); sides of the first segment with a distinct 

 tympanum; the extremity in the male clavate, considerably recurved, 

 the supraanal plate triangular with feebly acutangulate and in no way 

 blunted apex, the margins a little elevated flaringly in the basal 

 two-thirds, the median sulcus confined to the basal half, distinct, be- 

 tween well rounded walls; furcula consisting of a pair of approximate, 

 feebly divaricating, slender, hardly tapering, blunt, dark castaneous 

 spines, extending over the supraanal plate by about twice the width of 

 the last dorsal segment; cerci long and rather slender, erect, testa- 

 ceous at base, becoming gradually infuscated apically, tapering in the 

 basal half to about two-thirds the basal breadth, beyond equal as far
