SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS CHLOROTETTIX 25 



Chlorotettix iridescens DeLong. 



(Figs. 23: a, b.) 

 Chlorotettix iridescens DeLong, Term. State Ent. Bull., 17, p. 86, (1916). 



Resembling lusorius in general appearance, but with vertex 

 shorter, greenish brown, iridescent. Length, 7 mm. 



Vertex one-third longer on the middle than next the eye, more 

 than twice wider than long. Front rather long, broad between 

 eyes, margins gradually, convexly narrowing to the basal third of 

 the clypeus, then widened somewhat abruptly to a broadened 

 apex. Pronotum twice as long as vertex, broadly, shallowly 

 emarginate posteriorly. 



Color: General color resembling lusorius with a red tinge. 

 Brownish, slightly tinged with green, vertex more yellowish, ocelli 

 green, eyes black; front dirty yellow, shading to brown above. 

 Elytra brownish, subhy aline, highly iridescent, nervures pale. 



Genitalia: Last ventral segment of the female twice as long as 

 preceding, broadly, deeply excavated to base, the sides of which 

 are concave, becoming slightly convex near the apex of the 

 notch, and forming long, rather sharply rounded lateral angles. 

 Base of ovipositor and plates exposed at base of notch. Pygofers 

 almost as long as ovipositor, posterior half clothed with brown 

 hairs, a large tuft at tips either side of ovipositor. 



Only recorded for Tennessee from which state it was described 

 by the author from a single female specimen. Another specimen 

 agreeing exactly with the type was collected from hickory during 

 the summer of 1917 by Mr. Paul Wyatt at Clarksville, Tennessee. 

 Type in the author's collection.
