SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS CHLOROTETTIX 29 



Chlorotettix tethys Van Duzee. 



Chlorotettix tethys V. D., Bull. Buff.'Soc. Nat. Sci., 8, p. 71, (1907). 



Not having seen specimens of this species, I am quoting the 

 original description. 



"Form of lusoria but much smaller. Length, 44.5 mm. 



"Vertex subangularly produced, clypeus broad, of equal width 

 throughout, sides rectilinear, cheeks narrow, feebly angled beneath 

 the eyes, forming a narrow margin around the lorae. Pronotum 

 with a rather pronounced callous parallel to the anterior margin, 

 the disc behind this distinctly transversely striate. Last ventral 

 segment of the female moderately long, with the outer angles 

 rounded and a little prominent, leaving a shallow medium sinus 

 on which rests a brownish cloud. 



' ' Color: Pale greenish luteous, more or less tinged with fulvous ; 

 the commissural margin at apex and some vague marks along the 

 base of the apical areoles, faintly smoky. Disc of each elytron 

 with two small brown specks, one placed just beyond the trans- 

 verse nervure near the base of the corium, and a smaller one 

 before this lying against the claval suture; elytral nervures pale; 

 eyes, tip of rostrum, tarsal claws and sides of the oviduct, black- 

 ish. In one example the anterior submargin of the pronotum 

 shows a sinuated darker vitta similar to that seen in certain 

 species of Cicadula, and the basal angles of the scutellum may be 

 darker." 



The species was described from specimens collected in Jamaica, 

 the only locality from which it has been recorded, and is apparently 

 closely allied to minimus Baker.
