male from Reno, Nevada (Wickham), taken in July. This male and 

 also an innnature male from Arizona (Dnnn) were presented by 

 Professor l^runer, 



The nymph mentioned above has the characters of the adult, the 

 wing-s, however, beino- short and reversed, and the spines on the outer 

 carina of the lower side of the anterior femora are distinct. Bruner 

 has a pair from Gartield Beach, Utah, and the Scudder collection 

 contains a single female from Nevada, an unusually large specimen, 

 from which I secured the above maximnm measurements. 



The following notes on the habits of this species are extracted from 

 an article by Cockerell." 



This species, also the variety viridis, was taken near Pecos, New Mexico, on dry 

 hillocks covered with Pinus edulis and Sabina sp. The males commence to stridulate 

 at dusk, and the note is so high pitched as to be inaudible to some persons. The 

 insects were present in some numbers, but were very diflticult to capture, jumping 

 off into the darkness at the least disturbance. 



CAPNOBOTES OCCIDENTALIS var. VIRIDIS Cockerell. 



CapnoJiotcs occidental is var. viridis Cockerell, The p]ntom., XXXVII, 1904, p. 

 180.— KiRBY, Syn. Cat. Orth., II, 1906, p. 182. 



Bescriptlon. — Similar to typical oecidentaJis except that the color is 

 greenish instead of brown or fawn colored. The elytra have the row" 

 of light oblique discal spots as found in the typical form. The cerci 

 of the onl}" male seen, the type, has the apical inner tooth wholly 

 aborted. The costal margin of the wings is greenish, the rest hyaline. 

 The ovipositor of the only female examined, one received from Pro- 

 fessor Bruner, is shaped as usual in the g-enus, and is as long as the 

 posterior femora. 



Measurements. — Length, pronotum, male, 6.5 mm., female, 7.5; 

 eh^tra, male, 39, female, 49; posterior feinora, male, 23, female, 30; 

 ovipositor, 29; width, pronotum across the metazona, male, 4.5, 

 female, 5; elytra at widest part, male, 7, female. 9; elytra 5 from 

 apex, male, 4, female, 5; posterior femora at widest part, male, 3.25, 

 female, 3.75; ovipositor in the middle, 1.75. 



Type.—G^i. No. 10165, U. S. National Museum. 



Specimens exam/med. — Two specimens, the type, a male from Pecos, 

 New Mexico, presented by Cockerell, who took it on Pine, August 24, 

 and a female without label from the Bruner collection. 



This is probal)ly the insect mentioned by Rik\y in the Standard Nat- 

 ural History as a green form of C. ftiHglnosa occurring in Utah. But 

 the cerci of the male and the h3"aline wings of both sexes at once sep- 

 arate this insect ivom ftdiglnosa. Besides, it is found associated with 

 typical vccidentalls as stated under that species.
