The colors of the above description, which are taken from life, are, 

 unless otherwise specified, drawn entirely from the female, as the sexes 

 differ considerably. The male differs in the following particulars: The 

 front of the head and the pronotuin are more yellowish, the prosterimm 

 black, the spine uniform pale green, the meso- and metasterna bright 

 green, the sternum of the abdomen yellowish-green, slightly paler than 

 the thorax, with the basal border of the segments broadly bordered 

 with black and the apical narrowly with fuscous; the whole dorsal 

 surface of the abdomen is black with a mediodorsal series of yellowish- 

 green spots and a triangular spot of the same between the middle and 

 hind coxae; a lateral row of greenish-yellow spots on the first eight 

 abdominal segments, each with a dark arcuate streak above it, opening 

 toward the brownish spiracles. 



Length of body, male, 16 mm., female, 26 mm.; antennae, male, 8.5 

 mm., female, 9 mm.; hind femora, male, 9.25 mm., female, 12 mm.

Excepting Jackmau, Maine (Harvey), the only other place from which 

 it has been reported is "British America" (Bruner), but without further

In the White Mountains 1 have found this grasshopper from the 

 neighborhood of the snow arch in Tuckermans Ravine (about 4,000 

 feet) to the base of the rocky slopes on the side of Mount Washington 

 above the Alpine Garden, and at the summit of Mount Madison (5,380 

 feet) at about the same elevation. I have also taken it at the upper 

 limits of Huntingtons Ravine and about the ledge on the carriage road. 

 It frequents the close branches of the dwarf birch, Betula nana, and is 

 rarely or never seen on the ground. 



Of the European insects, it is most nearly allied to Pod. baldensis, but

 derer and longer furcula.
