carina sharp, equal and percurrent, the lateral carinae distinct but con- 

 fined to the anterior lobe of the prozona, and somewhat approximated, 

 the two sections of the prozona independently and rather abruptly 

 tumid on the upper part of the lateral lobes, the transverse sulci of 

 the prozona obscure but straight, the front margin truncate, the hind 

 margin produced but obtusangulate. Prosternal spine sharply acumi- 

 nate; meso- and metastethia together much longer than broad; the 

 mesosternal lobes approximate in the male, the metasternal attingent. 

 Tegmina abbreviate, broad lanceolate, acuminate, attingent. Hind 

 femora not very long, the lower genicular lobe pallid except for a nar- 

 row, basal, transverse, fuscous streak; hind tibiae with 12 spines in 

 the outer series. Abdomen of male compressed, the subgenital plate 

 equal, its middle with a pronounced, backward directed, apical tubercle, 

 the lateral margins basally ainpliate; furcula distinctly developed; 

 cerci styliform, straight, acuminate. 

 A single species is known, from Florida. 



EOTETTIX SIGNATUS, new species. 



(Plate IV, fig. 7.) 

 Pezotettix signata MCNEILL!, MS. 



Of medium size, glistening flavo-testaceous. Head prominent, light 

 fusco-olivaceous, above broadly infuscated along the middle line and 

 with a narrow piceous postocular stripe, bordered by flavous; vertex 

 feebly tumid, not rising above the level of the pronotuin, the interspace 

 between the eyes fully half as broad again as the first antennal joint; 

 fastigium almost twice as broad anteriorly as posteriorly, little decli- 

 vent, broadly and shallowly sulcate; frontal costa distinctly percur- 

 rent, equal below the ocellus, distinctly broader above it, so as to be as 

 broad there as the interspace between the eyes, the lateral borders ele- 

 vated throughout but rounded and not acute, densely punctate through- 

 out; lateral carinae of face prominent; eyes large, very prominent, 

 nearly half as long again as the infraocular portion of the genae; 

 antennae luteous. Pronotum equal, in no way flaring on the metazona, 

 the lateral lobes with a not very broad, percurreut, glistening, blackish 

 fuscous, postocular stripe, directly beneath which the lateral lobes are 

 more brightly colored than below; disk broadly convex, passing into 

 the vertical lateral lobes almost insensibly, except on the anterior sec- 

 tion of the prozona, where there are distinct lateral cariuae, which are 

 separated from each other by only about three- fourths the entire width 

 of the prozona; median carina sharp, percurrent, equal, but on the 

 metazona diminishing posteriorly; front margin truncate, hind margin 

 bluntly obtusangulate; prozona distinctly longitudinal, sparsely punc- 

 tate, nearly half as long again as the rather closely and finely punctate 

 metazona. Prosternal spine small and rather short, acutely conical; 

 interspace between mesosternal lobes very narrow, much more than
