SCUDDER — SUPPLEMENT TO A REVISION OF THE MELANOPLI. I9I 



interspace between the eyes a little broader, especially in the female, 

 than the first antennal joint; fastigium moderately declivent, broadly 

 silicate, but only very shallovvly in the female; frontal costa rather 

 Ijrominent above, equal, just failing to reach the clypeus, slightly 

 broader than the interspace between the eyes, feebly sulcate at and a 

 little below the ocellus, biseriately punctate above; eyes large, moder- 

 ately prominent, very much longer than the infraocular portion of the 

 gena:^, the front margin subtruncate ; antennae flavous, deepening in 

 color to orange at tip, fully (cJ') or much le.-s than (9) two-thirds as 

 long as the hind femora. Pronotum, except for the feeble postocular 

 band and the infuscated sulci, nearlyuniform in color, subequal, expand- 

 ing a little on the metazona, especially in the male; front margin 

 truncate, hind margin obtusangulate, the angle rounded; prozona 

 feebly convex on the disk, passing by a rounded shoulder hardly 

 forming lateral carinae into the vertical lateral lobes, as a whole sub- 

 quadrate, very obscurely and rather coarsely punctate, scarcely if any 

 longer than the densely and finely punctate metazona. Prosternal 

 spine moderate, erect, conico-cylindrical, blunt; interspace between 

 mesosternal lobes twice (?) or many times (d^) as long as broad. 

 Tegmina distinctly surpassing the hind femora, slender, gently taper- 

 ing, apically well rounded, pale greenish testaceous, sparsely and irreg- 

 ularly flecked minutely with fuscous; wings a little shorter than the 

 tegmina, ])ellucid, the veins greenish, infuscated about the apex. Fore 

 and middle femora somewhat tumescent in the male, flavous, some- 

 times with a greenish tinge; hind femora also flavous, with no fascia- 

 tion, the outer face sometimes a little infuscated, the genicular arc 

 heavily marked in black, the genicular lobes pallid, generally marked 

 with black spots at the base ; hind tibiae very pale glaucous, the spines 

 pallid in the basal, black in the apical half, lo in number in the outer 

 series. Extremity of male abdomen somewhat clavate, upturned, the 

 supraanal plate subclypeate, a little produced at the tip, the lateral 

 margins a little elevated, the median carina rather slight, percurrent 

 but weak in the middle, I)ing between rather broad and not greatly 

 elevated walls; furcula consisting of a pair of basally adjacent, later- 

 ally somewhat arcuate, long and slender, depressed fingers, equal and 

 moderately broad in the basal third, tapering by the excision of the 

 inner margin in the middle third, and be} ond equal again but only a 

 third as broad as the base, apically blunt, reaching fully two-thirds 

 across the supraanal plate ; cerci moderately broad, compressed and
