6 SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS CHLOROTETTIX 



Genitalia: Male valve broad, short, rounded behind, plates 

 long, border rounded slightly at base, narrowed from middle and 

 tapering to acute tip: three times as long as the width at base. 



Described from one specimen taken at Los Amates, Guate- 

 mala, by Prof. J. S. Hine, in Feb., 1905. Type in Ohio State 

 University collection. 



Chlorotettix minor n. sp. 



(Figs. 2: a, b.) 



Very small, the head well rounded, yellow with a green tint. 

 Length, 3.5-4. mm. 



Vertex slightly longer on the middle than next the eye, rounded 

 anteriorly, twice as wide as long. Front a little longer than 

 wide. Pronotum short, more than twice as wide as long, anterior 

 margin broadly rounding to humeral angles which slope to the 

 concave posterior border. Elytra hyaline, through which the 

 abdomen is visible. 



Color: Dull yellow without definite markings, but tinged 

 with green. Disc of pronotum darker. Face embrowned, with a 

 median line and faint indications of paler arcs. Ovipositor and a 

 spot on the middle of posterior border of last ventral segment 

 brown. 



Genitalia: Last ventral segment of female two and one-half 

 times as long as preceding; posterior margin sinuated so as to be 

 roundingly produced at the middle, either side of which it is 

 shallowly, broadly emarginate to the lateral angles which are 

 quite prominent. Pygofers stout, ovipositor brown. Male valve 

 very short, truncated, plates broad at base, long, gradually 

 narrowed to produced, finger-like apices. 



This is the smallest species belonging to the genus which has 

 been described, and is distinct in size and genital characters from 

 anything I have been able to find. Described from a male and 

 female from Juarez, Mexico, and a female from Brewster Co., 

 Texas. Type in author's collection, paratype in collection of 

 Dr. Osborn.
