Structure and markings of head, pronotum, and tegmina as in C. 

 lapidicolus Bruner, but differing from that species in the venation and 

 coloring of the wings. There is but a single axillary vein present in 

 the male of this species, while in verruculatus and lapidicohts there are 

 two,' undulatus also has the secondary vein present, although much 

 obliterated. Besides this difference in the axillary field there is also a 

 difference in the venation of the radial field — the present species hav- 

 iug the cells of the outer edge very regular, short and wide, and the 

 radial veins very strong. Posterior tibial glaucous, the spines black. 

 Apical portion of the wing hyaline, with dark veins and cross veins 

 preceded by a slight indication of a fuliginous band.

CEdipoda (?) occidentalis sp. nov. [PI. I, Fig. 7.] 



Besembling rather distantly the various members of the genus Gir- 

 cotettix, but with much shorter tegmina and wings. Dirty grayish 

 brown, the mottlings on the tegmina gathered into obscure bands. 

 Wings light greenish yellow, without the usual fuliginous band in 

 most specimens, apical half hyaline with the nerves and cross-veins 

 dark. 



Head short and broad, widening but gently below, the face straight, 

 perpendicular. Antennae of medium length, a little heavy, with the 

 joints somewhat flattened, the apex acuminate in the male. Vertex 

 considerably depressed, between the rather prominent, almost globular, 

 eyes nearly ( $ ) or quite as broad as their shortest diameter ( 9 ), the 

 sulcus irregular, a little expanding in front, quite shallow, furnished 

 with a distinct longitudinal median carina that divides in front and 

 after joining with the lateral carinae continues down the face as the 

 walls of the frontal costa; frontal costa rather wide, a little constricted 

 at the upper end and just below the ocellus, from this latter point ex- 

 panding and reaching the clypeus, a rather deepA-shaped pit at its 

 upper extremity, plain between the antennae, sulcate at and below the 

 ocellus. Face coarsely pitted and transversely wrinkled. Pronotum 

 short and broad, rapidly widening posteriorly ; anterior lobe short, 

 rounded above, nearly equal, coarsely wrinkled transversely and sev- 

 ered from the front edge of the posterior lobe by the deep last trans- 

 verse impressed line; posterior lobe coarsely and closely granulate, 

 with well-defined shoulders ; median carina slight, twice severed, the 

 last only one-third the distance from the front edge; posterior extremity 

 nearly ( 9 ) or quite ( S ) a right-angle ; anterior edge slightly advanced
