102 riiVCZEDlNOS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. 



carina, ferrugineo- testaceous, becoming lighter below, obscurely punc- 

 tate with fuscous (female) or flavo-testaceous above, flavo-olivaceous 

 below, the sides heavily marked with glistening blackish chocolate 

 (male); sides of the first segment with a distinct tympanum; extrem- 

 ity in the male clavate, considerably recurved, the supraanal plate 

 triangular with subrectangulate apex, the sides scarcely elevated and 

 feebly ernarginate in the middle, the median sulcus moderately deep, 

 percurrent, subequal, and moderately broad, raised much above the 

 general surface by the considerable elevation of its bounding walls; 

 furcula consisting of a pair of approximate, short, tapering, black spines r 

 hardly longer than the last dorsal segment; cerci castaneous, black- 

 tipped, suberect, very long and very slender, tapering in the basal 

 fourth, beyond distinctly less than half as broad as the base and sub- 

 equal, feebly expanding apically solely by the curve of the upper mar- 

 gin, the apex inferiorly angulate, the whole a little longer than the 

 supraanal plate and straight except for being feebly incurved; subgen- 

 ital plate small, about equally broad and long, its apex a little tumid, 

 the apical margin not elevated, well rounded, entire. 



Length of body, male, 16.5 mm., female, 23.5 mm.; antennae, male, 

 10.5 mm., female, 8.5+ mm.; hind femora, male, 9.25 mm., female, 

 12.75 mm. 



Two males, 1 female. Ithaca, Tomkins County, New York, about 400 

 feet, November, J. H. Comstock; Enfield Falls, Toinpkins County, New 

 York, about 450 feet (H. O. Woodworth). The specimens were taken 

 in each case on the banks of streams. 



Since this was written, E. M. Walker has sent me drawings of this 

 species from specimens taken at De Grassi Point on Lake Simcoe, about 

 50 miles north of Toronto, Canada. 



This species differs from the preceding not only in coloring and mark- 

 ings, but in the greater length of the antennae and hind legs, the brevity 

 of the furcula, and the slenderness of the cerci. 



3. PODISMA NUBICOLA, new species. 



(Plate VII, tig. 5.) 



Melanoplus monticola BRUNER! MS. (pars). 



Cinereo-fuscous. Head varying from testaceous to plumbeous, more 

 or less infuscated, above blackish fuscous in a posteriorly broadening 

 mesial stripe, a supraocular belt and a postocular baud, sometimes ran 

 together; vertex tumid, considerably elevated above the pronotum, the 

 interspace between the eyes almost (male) or fully (female) twice as 

 broad as the first antennal joint ; fastigium moderately declivent, broadly 

 and distinctly sulcate, less deeply in the female than in the male; fron- 

 tal costa feebly expanding and fading before the clypeus, faintly nar- 

 rowed above, slightly (male) or distinctly (female) narrower than the 

 interspace between the eyes, sulcate at and below the ocellus (but feebly 

 in the female), heavily punctate throughout; eyes small, faintly promi-
