  It 
  is 
  also 
  credited

   to

  to 
  a

  Since 
  describing 
  7^. 
  opimtis, 
  I 
  have 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  compare 
  it 
  with 
  the 
  

   types 
  of 
  Thomas's 
  Fezotettix 
  obesus 
  and 
  tind 
  they 
  are 
  not 
  distinct. 
  The 
  

   species 
  is 
  very 
  close 
  to 
  B. 
  ^nngnis, 
  but 
  differs 
  from 
  it 
  in 
  its 
  markings, 
  

   particularly 
  in 
  its 
  darker 
  antennae, 
  its 
  much 
  less 
  developed 
  median 
  

   abdominal 
  stripe 
  and 
  its 
  differently 
  colored 
  hind 
  tibiae, 
  and 
  also 
  in 
  the 
  

   more 
  continuous 
  and 
  more 
  developed 
  median 
  carina 
  on 
  pronotum 
  and 
  

   abdomen, 
  and 
  the 
  slightly 
  differing 
  abdominal 
  appendages 
  of 
  the 
  male. 
  

   It 
  is 
  evidently 
  the 
  commonest 
  and 
  most 
  widely 
  spread 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  of 
  

   Bradynotes.

  (Plate

  Body 
  similar 
  in 
  form 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  B. 
  Mspida, 
  but 
  with 
  excessively 
  sparse 
  

   and 
  feeble 
  ])ilosity. 
  Head 
  full, 
  the 
  vertex 
  gently 
  tumid, 
  the 
  interspace 
  

   between 
  the 
  eyes 
  twice 
  as 
  broad 
  as 
  the 
  narrowest 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  frontal
