Color: Bright green with four parallel orange-red lines on head, pro- 

 notum and scutellum. Nervures of elytra also orange-red and abdomen 

 also striped. In the long-winged males there is a black band across the 

 wings about medially and a larger apical one, between which is a white or 

 hyaline area; the pygofers are black. In the short-winged males there is 

 just a suggestion of a black band across the tips of the wings and the 

 pygofers are often merely tipped with black. 



External genitalia: Female, last ventral segment half longer than 

 preceding segment, posterior margin sinuate on either side of a short, 

 rounding, median lobe; pygofers broad at base, acute apically. greatly 

 exceeded by the very long, apically haired ovipositor. Male, valve very 

 small, triangular; plates wide at base, tapering regularly to long, acute, 

 upturned and frequently overlapping tips; pygofers very characteristic 

 of the species, being very long and style-like, ending in two widely 

 separated and acute apices, finely serrate along inner margin and bearing, 

 laterally, a brush of long spines in front of the middle, with a few along 

 apical portion of dorsal margin and a brush at the apex. 



Distribution: Occurs in the eastern portion of the state, as 

 shown by the following map : 



Genus SPANGBERGIELLA Sign. 



This genus stands between Hecalus and Parabolocratus, the 

 head not being as foliaceous as in the former genus, and thin- 

 ner than in the latter. The head of the female is much pro- 

 duced and foliaceous, but in the male the head is shorter and 

 thicker. Very characteristic of the genus are the bright red 

 converging lines on the vertex and pronotum. The elytra are 

 always long.
