226 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL.XX. 



field of tegmina testaceous, the remainder black, the extreme tip testa- 

 ceous. Fore and middle legs dull fusco-testaceous ; hind femora yellow, 

 more or less tinged with brownish, with a broad black band on either 

 side of the middle, whose edges follow the impressed lines, the basal 

 one sending a median shoot to the base; hind tibiae vinous red, a little 

 infuscated at the base, the spines black, ten to twelve in number in the 

 outer series. 



Vertex gently tumid, a little elevated above the pronotum, the 

 interspace between the eyes broader than (female) or scarcely as broad 

 as (male) the basal joint of the antennae; fastigiuin rapidly declivent, 

 broadly and shallowly sulcate; frontal costa broad, subequal, sulcate 

 throughout excepting just above the antennae; eyes pretty large, a 

 little prominent in the male, shorter than the intraocular portion of the 

 genae; antennae about as long as (male) or two-thirds as long as (female) 

 the hind femora. Pronotum with equal sides, the transverse sulci 

 moderate, continuous, nearly straight, the median carina distinct on 

 the metazona, the disk separated from the lateral lobes by a distinct 

 but bluntly rounded angle; front margin subtruucate, faintly emarginate 

 in the female, hind margin very obtusely angulate; prozona longitudi- 

 nal (male) or subquadrate (female), about a fourth longer than the 

 ruguloso punctate metazona. Prosternal spine rather long, cylindrical, 

 apically tapering but blunt, retrorse, in the female appressed and 

 stouter; interspace between mesosternal lobes half as long again as 

 broad (male) or quadrate (female). Tegmina only half as long as the 

 abdomen, longer than the pronotum, tapering, the inner margin convex, 

 apically subacumiuate; wings slightly shorter. Hind femora stout and 

 long. Extremity of male abdomen clavate, a little upturned, the supra- 

 anal plate triangular, with convex sides, acutangulate apex, and a 

 percurrent, not very deep, median sulcus; furcula consisting of a pair 

 of slight approximate spines overlying the ridges bordering the sulcus 

 of the supraanal plate; cerci moderate in size, compressed, tapering 

 and straight on the middle half, with an obscure inner superior basal 

 tubercle, beyond the middle bent inward and a little upward, equal, 

 the tip squarely truncate with rounded angles; subgenital plate small, 

 longer than broad, slightly elevated and feebly prolonged at apex, 

 forming a slight tubercle. 



Length of body, male, 23 mm., female, 26.5 mm.; antennae, male, 13 

 mm., female, 11 mm.; tegmina, male, 9 mm., female, 9.5 mm.; hind 

 femora, male, 13.5 mm., female, 16.5 mm. 



One male, three females. Georgia, Morrison; Smithville, North 

 Carolina, November 22. 



It seems very probable that this species is the Pezotettlx zimmermanni 

 of Saussure, described from the female only, but I find it impossible to 

 determine from the description. If it should so prove, of course the 

 name has priority over the one here employed.
