 bright green, head and body somewhat lighter, usually a yellowish 

 line on the lateral carinae of the pronotum. Posterior tibiae and 

 tip of ovipositor smoky brown. Cone of vertex long and slender, 

 usually over 3 mm., rather acutely rounded at apex, a black 

 line on either margin beneath extending from the apex half- 

 way or more to the base. Tegmina long, narrower than in any 

 of our other species. Brown examples of ensiger seem to be 

 quite scarce.
