28 SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS CHLOROTETTIX 



Chlorotettix emarginatus Baker. 



Chlorotettix emarginata Bale., Can. Ent., 30, p. 219, (1898). 



The original description as given by Baker is as follows: 



"Length 6.25-6.5 mm. Vertex blunter than in unicolor; color 

 the same. Valve in male triangular and about the length of pre- 

 ceding segment. Plates about equaling pygofers, rounded at tips, 

 but little wider towards the base, where each plate is suddenly 

 depressed, giving the whole the appearance, as view from below, 

 of being strongly constricted. Last ventral segment of female 

 with lateral angles strongly produced backwards on either side of 

 a broad, deep, rectangular emargination, the bottom of which is 

 sinuate. Ovipositor equaling pygofers. Ocelli approximating 

 eyes." 



The species was described from the specimens collected at 

 Vera Cruz, Mexico. This is the only published record of this 

 species. 



Resembles unicolor, Fh., but is slightly larger and differs 

 widely in the form of the genitalia, both male and female. Type 

 in Baker collection, U. S. National Museum. 



Chlorotettix breviceps Baker. 



Chlorotettix breviceps Bale., Can. Ent., 30, p. 220, (1898). 



According to the original description the species is nearest 

 viridius, but the vertex is shorter, the ocelli smaller, further from 

 the eyes and the color different. This insect has somewhat the 

 aspect of an Idiocerus. 



"Length, 6.25 mm. Vertex not longer at middle than at eyes. 

 Ocelli black, scarcely further than their width from the eyes. 

 Color throughout pale brownish; two longitudinal whitish lines 

 on scutel. Last ventral segment twice the length of preceding, 

 hind margin very broadly, slightly notched. Ovipositor about 

 equaling pygofers." 



The species was described from two females taken at Chapada, 

 Brazil. This is the only known record for the species and it has 

 never been reported for North America. Type in Baker collection, 

 U. S. National Museum.
