10 SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS CHLOROTETTIX 



This species was described from specimens collected in Florida, 

 New Jersey and Texas. It has also been reported as occurring in 

 Tennessee and South Carolina. Although extensive collecting 

 has been done in several of the northern and western states it has 

 not been found to occur in any of them, and probably is restricted 

 to the south and east, but no doubt is more widely distributed 

 than records would indicate. 



Chlorotettix vittatus Osborn. 



(Figs. 6: a, b, c.) 

 Chlorotettix mttata Osb., Ohio Nat., 9, p. 465 (1909). 



Greenish white with distinct fusco-hyaline lines on the elytra. 

 Female length to tip of elytra, 7 mm., male 6.75 mm. 



Head scarcely as broad as pronotum; vertex round in front, 

 scarcely longer at the middle than next the eye; front narrowed 

 apically; clypeus widened at apex, loras elliptical, rather narrow, 

 gense with sinuate margin. Pronotum concave behind, elytra 

 sub-hyaline, veins small and indistinct. 



Color: Pale greenish white, elytra somewhat milky with two 

 slender oblique lines on clavus parallel to claval suture and two 

 on the corium brown. Scutellum with three rather broad longi- 

 tudinal stripes which extend forward on the pronotum and can 

 be seen through the subhy aline portion. 



Genitalia: Last ventral segment of female rather short, hind 

 margin shallowly emarginate with a median and rather broad, 

 deeper emargination ; pygofers rather long, bristled near the tip. 

 Male valve rounded behind, plates short, greatly exceeded by 

 pygofers, curved on outer borders, a few bristles near the margin. 



The species was described from specimens (types and paratypes 

 in Ohio State University collection) collected at Los Amates, 

 Guatemala, which is the only record known.
