slightly concave ; lateral lobes uot greatly developed. Ovi- 

 positor dark brown, only moderately curved. Hind femora 

 with five to seven very short spines on the inner side ; hind 

 tibige with 28 to 33 spines in the outer row. Spines of ante- 

 rior tibife pale ochreous, tipped with black, and having a

 from which they spring is whitish. 



Mut. viridis. — Similar to the type, but entirely bright 

 apple-green. 



Hah. Mesilla Park, New Mexico, on the campus of the 

 New Mexico Agricultural College. Eight of the brown form 

 and two of the green. They were found in an outhouse, and 

 are doubtless nocturnal in their habits. One specimen was 

 found in the jaws of a Scolopenclra lieros which had killed it. 



The genus Eremoj^edefi was made known by Scudder in 

 the ' Canadian Entomologist,' July 1894. It was founded on 

 a single female from Arizona in the National Museum at 

 Washington, which was not described. Up to the present 

 no species of the genus has been described or named so far as 

 I can ascertain. 



I sent an example of E. Scudderi, asking whether it was 

 the same as the Arizona insect, to Mr. Scudder, who replied : 

 " The Eremopedes from Arizona is unnamed in the U.S. Nat. 

 Mus. I have no specimen. Your species appears to be a 

 good one."
