NO. 1124. REVISION OF THE M !: LA \OPLI SCUDDKli. 81 



39. Excepting the monotypic Asemoplus found in the same region, 

 and some of the genera peculiar to the South, no other genus of 

 Melanopli has so limited a range. 



ANALYTICAL KEY TO THE SPECIES OF BRADYNOTES. 



A 1 . Interspace between the eyes not much greater than the least width of the frontal 

 costa; hind femora fully three times as long as pronotum and relatively slender; last 



dorsal segment of male abdomen with slight lobes for furcula 1. li'ispida (p. 81). 



A-. Interspace between the eyes nearly twice the least width of the frontal costa; 

 hind femora distinctly less than three times as long as prouotum and relatively 

 stout; last dorsal segment of male abdomen quite unarmed. 



6 1 . Interspace between mesosternal lobes not (male) or at most a little (female) 

 wider than the lobes themselves, the metasternal lobes varying from subcontiguous 

 to a little more than half as distant as the mesostemal (male), or from more than 

 half to nearly as distant as the mesosternal lobes (female) ; male cerci about as 

 long as the supraanal plate. 



c 1 . Interspace between mesosternal lobes scarcely more than half the width of 



the lobes themselves (male) or not wider than they (female), the metasternal 



lobes subcontiguous (male) ; last segment of male abdomen not greatly upturned. 



d l . Interspace between mesosternal lobes of male scarcely more than half the 



width of the lobes themselves, the metasternal interspaces in the female 



hardly more than half as broad as the mesosternal 2. caurus (p. 83). 



d 2 . Interspace between mesosternal lobes of male almost as wide as the lobes, 

 the metasternal interspace in the female fully three-quarters that of the meso- 

 sternal 3. expleta (p. 84). 



c' 2 . Interspace between mesosterual lobes about equal to the width of the lobes 

 themselves (male) or a little wider (female), the metasternal lobes moderately 

 distant (male) or fully three-fourths as wide as the mesosternal interspace 

 (female) ; last segment of male abdomen considerably upturned. 



d l . Hind tibiae wholly coral red 4. pinguis (p. 85). 



d 2 . Hind tibiae red only on apical half. 



e 1 . Relatively large. No great contrast in color between upper and lower 

 half of lateral lobes of pronotum, the lower portion not being very light ; 

 dark cross bands of hind femora crossing only the inner, not (or obscurely) 

 the outer half of the upper surface; outer face almost uniformly dark. 



5. obesa (p. 87). 



e j . Relatively small. The darker superior half of lateral lobes of pronotum 

 strongly contrasted with the lighter inferior half; dark cross bands of hind 

 femora crossing both inner and outer half of upper surface, the outer face 

 broken in color by their continuation 6. referta (p. 88). 



6 2 . Interspace between mesosternal lobes considerably wider than (male) or twice 

 as wide as (female) the lobes themselves, the metasternal lobes nearly as distant; 

 male cerci not half so long as the supraanal plate 7. satur (p. 89). 



i. BRADYNOTES HISPIDA. 



(Plate VI, fig. 5.) 

 Pezotettix Uspidus BRUNER!, Can. Ent., XVII, 1885, pp. 12-14. 



Body moderately stout, very slightly compressed, but little enlarged 

 in the metathoracic region, even in the female, feebly pilose. Head 

 full, the vertex gently tumid, the interspace between the eyes not 

 much greater than the least width of the frontal costa, the fastigium 

 considerably declivent, slightly expanding apically, broadly sulcate,
