  The 
  largest 
  of 
  our 
  species 
  of 
  Melano])li 
  ami 
  heavy 
  bodied; 
  excepting" 
  

   the 
  hiud 
  legs 
  and 
  the 
  lateral 
  lobes 
  of 
  the 
  pronotiiin, 
  the 
  general 
  color 
  

   is 
  a 
  nearly 
  uniform 
  brownish 
  testaceous, 
  becoming 
  paler 
  testaceous 
  in 
  

   specimens 
  from 
  arid 
  regions; 
  in 
  those 
  from 
  IS^ebraska, 
  Kansas, 
  and 
  

   Colorado 
  it 
  is 
  sometimes 
  a 
  blackish 
  green, 
  while 
  in 
  those 
  from 
  Illinois 
  

   and 
  Indiana 
  it 
  is 
  often 
  of 
  a 
  dark 
  brownish 
  green. 
  The 
  head 
  has 
  some- 
  

   times 
  a 
  pair 
  of 
  dusky, 
  divergent 
  stripes, 
  passing 
  from 
  the 
  posterior 
  

   corners 
  of 
  the 
  fastigium 
  backward 
  across 
  the 
  vertex 
  and, 
  when 
  these 
  

   are 
  present, 
  there 
  are 
  often 
  other 
  but 
  irregular 
  streaks 
  of 
  similar 
  tint 
  

   on 
  the 
  genae 
  and 
  clouds 
  over 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  face; 
  the 
  vertex 
  is 
  gently 
  

   arched, 
  more 
  gently 
  in 
  the 
  female 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  male, 
  with 
  a 
  broad 
  inter- 
  

   val 
  between 
  the 
  eyes, 
  the 
  fastigium 
  broadly 
  and 
  not 
  very 
  deeply 
  

   impressed; 
  frontal 
  costa 
  broad 
  but 
  narrower 
  than 
  the 
  interspace 
  

   between 
  the 
  eyes, 
  percurrent, 
  equal 
  except 
  for 
  a 
  slight 
  expansion 
  below, 
  

   broadly 
  and 
  shallowly 
  sulcate 
  belo^^ 
  (and 
  including) 
  the 
  ocellus, 
  punc- 
  

   tate; 
  eyes 
  moderately 
  prominent, 
  short, 
  not 
  a 
  great 
  deal 
  longer 
  than 
  

   broad; 
  antennae 
  fulvo- 
  testaceous, 
  nearly 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  (male) 
  or 
  fully
