  I 
  carelessly 
  included 
  this 
  in 
  Pezotettix 
  puer 
  when 
  originally 
  described, 
  

   but 
  the 
  description 
  shows 
  that 
  it 
  could 
  not 
  then 
  have 
  been 
  examined 
  

   carefully, 
  for 
  it 
  differs 
  obviously 
  both 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  cerci 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  

   tegmiua.
