with six apical and median spines on the anterior margin, posterior mar- 

 gin with the same number, genicular spine very long and slender ; tibiae 

 about equal to the femora in length. Posterior femora with four spines 

 on the apical half of the anterior margin ; posterior margin with five 

 spines on the apical half, genicular spine normally present ; * tibiae half 

 again as long as the femora ; tarsi about equal to the femora m length, 

 metatarsi exceeding the remaining joints in length, arolia rather minute. 

 The color description given in the original is very good and describes 

 the insect perfectly.

This species is more closely related to /. pennsylvajiica (De 

 Geer) than any of the other species examined. It can be imme- 

 diately distinguished bj^ the larger size, different coloration and 

 more longitudinal pronotum. Close relationship also exists 

 with /. Jihleriana Saussure, but the latter is a much smaller 

 species, with a rugulose interocular region and a differently 

 shaped basal field of the tegmina. It is quite possible that 

 this species is the male of Temnoptetyx major Saussure and 

 Zehntner. Blatchley f has recorded the capture of males of 

 major, and the type of hyalina agrees very well with his 

 description. If such should prove to be the case, inajor must 

 fall as a synonym of Scudder's species.

 accidental.
