longest scarcely more than half as long as the tibial depth; fore 

 tibise unarmed above except apicaUy. Ovipositor twice as long as 

 the pronotum, decidedly curved upward and entirely unarmed. 



This genus is structurally allied to Gammarotettix and the presence 

 of pulvilh in both genera indicates that they might better be referred 

 to the subfamily Stenopelmatinse. The new genus is readily distin- 

 guishable from Gammarotettix by the undivided vertex and the 

 possession of much longer apical calcars of the hind tibiae. Bies- 

 trammena and Tropidischia share with the present genus and Gam- 

 marotettix the character of inarticulate dorsal spurs on the hind 

 tibiae, but those long-legged insects have no indication of pulvilli. 



Type of the genus. — Cnemotettix pulvillifer, new species. 



CNEMOTETTIX PULVILLIFER, new species. 



In general appearance this species resembles those of the genus 

 PJirixocnemis. The general color is yellowish brown mottled with 

 darker brown. The head is marked on each side above and below 

 the eyes with a narrow black streak and the frontal costa between 

 the antennae is infuscated. 



Length, pronotum, male, 3.5 mm,, female, 4 mm.; hind femora, 

 male, 10 mm., female, 12 mm.; ovipostor, 9 mm. 



Described from one adult and two immature males and one adult
