Bright olivaceous green, occasionally somewhat iufuscated and so 

 approaching in appearance C. acutipennis. Summit of head with a dark- 

 green median stripe, broadening posteriorly, sometimes including a 

 median yellowish thread; sides of head and sometimes the front tinged 

 with yellow; antennae green at base, beyond orange, infuscated at the 

 extreme tip. Pronotum covered rather profusely with short longitudi- 

 nal dashes of lemon yellow, rather irregularly distributed but distinctly 

 marking the median cariua, excepting at its posterior extremity, and 

 also the two extremities, rarely the whole, of the lateral carinae. Teg- 

 rnina green, generally half the length of the abdomen, occasionally but 

 little longer than the pronotum, rarely half as long again. Legs stout, 

 yellowish green, the fore and middle femora more or less tinged with 

 dull orange; outside of hind femora slightly infuscated, thetibial spines 

 black-tipped. Supraanal plate of male and furcula wholly similar to 

 the same parts in C. acutipennis; cerci straight and slender, shorter 

 than the supraanal plate, usually partially erect, at least in cabinet 

 specimens, the basal half tapering, the apical less than half as broad, 

 equal, the tip rounded but a little produced below, the outer surface 

 slightly sulcate on the apical half; infracercal plates as in C. acutipennis. 



Length of body, male, 21 mm., female, 29 mm. ; antennae, male and 

 female, 10.5 inm. ; tegmina, male, 8.5 mm., female, 13.5 mm. ; hind femora, 

 male, 13.5 mm., female, 17.5 mm. 



Twenty males, 20 females. Lincoln, Nebraska (L. Bruner); Douglas 

 County, Kansas, 900 feet, September (University of Kansas); Texas, 

 September 14, Belfrage ; Bosque County, Texas, October 24-27, Belfrage ; 

 Dallas, Texas, September 9, J. Boll; Fort Worth, Tarraut County, Texas, 

 May (U.S.N.M. Eiley collection). Frequently found sitting on fences 

 in the autumn, according to Belfrage. 



This species very closely resembles the preceding, and may perhaps 

 yet be proved but a dimorphic form of the same; it appears to be com- 

 moner and to have a wider range. Bruner states that he has seen it
