Eotettix hebardi n. sp. 



Type.— I . Tyty Plantation, Thomas Co., Georgia, Janu- 

 ary 6, 1906. Hebard collection. 



Allied to E. signatus Scudder, but differing in the narrower 

 interspace between the eyes, the broad frontal costa, the ab- 

 sence of distinct lateral carinae on the cephalic section of the 

 prozona, the rounded caudal margin of the metazona, the

slightly broader interspace between the mesosternal lobes, the 

 shorter and more rounded tegmina, the shorter furcula, the 

 clavate cerci and less distinct tubercle of the subgenital plate, 

 as well as some details of the coloration. 



The form of the tegmina resembles E. pu- 

 sillus Morse, but hebardi\$> separated from that 

 species by the size and the form of the frontal 

 costa. From E. palustris Mdrse the new form 

 can be separated by the shape of the supra- 

 anal plate and cerci and by numerous color 

 characters. 



The shape of the cerci, the rather thick 

 blunt form of the prosternal spine and the 

 lack of distinct lateral carinae, as well as the 

 broad frontal costa seen in this species are at 

 variance with Scudder's generic description, 

 but this probably requires modification as Scudder knew but 

 one of the four species now credited to the genus.
