Form: Medium sized, smaller than erythrocephala, larger than gledits- 

 chise. Length, 4.5 to 5.5 mm. Species with vertex and pronotum ob- 

 tusely angled, the latter distinctly striated. 



Color: Female green, with tips of elytra slightly fuscous; males green, 

 but tinged with fuscous, elytra brownish practically all over. Males with 

 black spot on propleurae, thus differing from gleditschise.

 chitinous band bounding the posterior margin of the pygofers and ex- 

 tending dorsad in a prominent spine. 



Male internal genitalia: Styles very long, with a distinct bend pos- 

 terior to point of attachment with connective, terminal portion broadly 

 curved and with sides about parallel clear to the tip, except for slight 

 bulge about midway; connective large and stout, Y-shaped when viewed 

 dorsally, with base of Y very heavy and with a dorsal terminal process; 

 cedagus with distinct basal portion from which there extends dorsad a 

 strong process and a longer, posteriorly tapering but dorsally curved por- 

 tion. 



Distribution: Taken in Douglas, Pottawatomie and Ottawa 

 counties.
