NO. 1124. REVISION OF THE MELANOPLI SCUDDER. 89 



costa, the fastigiuin declivent, shallowly sulcate, with elevated rounded 

 margins, continuous with the slightly elevated margins of the upper 

 part of the frontal costa. The latter broad, subequal, feebly broaden- 

 ing below, much broader than the basal joint of the antennae, feebly 

 sulcate in the male, and sparsely punctate; eyes not very large, slightly 

 more prominent, and anteriorly slightly less truncate in the male than 

 in the female; antennae about as long as (female) or a little longer 

 than (male) the head and pronotum together. Pronotum subequal, but 

 slightly enlarging posteriorly, especially in the female, with the Mutest 

 possible indications of lateral carinae in the male, the metazona, espe- 

 cially in the male, fully half as long as the prozona, the sulci of the 

 latter scarcely less distinct than the principal sulcus, and similar, cut- 

 ting the median carina, which is often but not always obsolete between 

 the sulci and sometimes over the whole prozona; exposed portion of 

 mesonotum fully half (female) or less than half (male) as long as the 

 metanotum. Interspace between the mesosternal lobes fully equal to 

 the lobes themselves (male, female), the metasternal interspace half 

 (male) or much more than half (female) as wide as the mesosternal. 

 Fore and middle femora considerably tumid in the male; hind femora 

 moderately stout, about two and a half times as long as the pronotum. 

 Abdomen with a distinct median carina, a little compressed, in the male 

 tapering from the base, scarcely enlarged apically, but considerably 

 upturned; supraaual plate of male fully as long as its basal breadth, 

 dorsally ridged as in B. obesa; no furcula; cerci slightly longer than the 

 supraanal plate, slightly compressed but externally tumid, tapering 

 on the basal half, the apical subequal, moderately stout, slightly down- 

 curved and rounded at the extremity; infracercal plates produced on 

 the inner side nearly to the extremity of the supraanal plate. 



General color and markings much as in B. obesa, but with lighter col- 

 ored antennae, and with the upper half of the lateral lobes of the pro- 

 notum very dark, generally forming a distinct broad baud in marked 

 contrast to the lower half of the same, and in the female in contrast to 

 the somewhat lighter griseous disk of the pronotum, the band crossing 

 the metazona as well as the prozona. There is no red coloring upon the 

 pronotum. Hind femora and tibiae as well as abdominal appendages 

 similar in color to B. obesa, but the hind femora more variable. 



Length of body, male, 19 mm., female, 20.25 mm.; antennae, male, 7.5 

 mm., female, 7 mm.; pronotum, male, 4 mm., female, 4.1 mm.; hind fem- 

 ora, male, 10 mm., female, 10.25 mm. 



Two males, 3 females. Soldier, Logan County, Idaho (L. Bruner);

7. BRADYNOTES SATUR, new species. 

 (Plate VII, fig. 1.) 



Body entirely similar to B. pinguis in form and vestiture. Head full, 

 the vertex scarcely (male) or considerably (female) tumid, the inter- 

 space between the eyes much greater than the narrowest part of the
