This pecies is nearly allied to X. cristafus Harris, diifering 

 from that species principally in the pronotum not being so 

 strongly compressed above, the siuuatiou not so deep iu front 

 of the eyes, the frontal costa more advancetl in front of the 

 eyes, the vertex more obtusely couico-augnlate. In iV . crustafus 

 the frontal costal is more deeply excavate and the median 

 carina of the vertex more elevated, giving the crown of the 

 head in profile a more arched appearance. Although de- 

 scribed from one specimen, these differences are such as to 

 warrant me without hesitancy in giving this species a place 

 here. 



Another point which I would like to bring forward in (he 

 piesent connection is in regard to TetUx f/nmnlatus Kirby. 

 This species is undoubtedly the same as described by T*rof. 

 Bolivar in his Essay, \S7, page 26(>, figs. 22-22a, a.s Trttix 

 hrunneri, making the latter name synonymous, but on the 

 other hand this is not the species commonly understood as 

 IHtic ffraindatus, found iu the northeastern Ignited States and 

 southward, which has a slen<ler form with long subulate pro- 

 notum. On the contrary, the true ffraiinlatus has the body 

 compact, rather large, the wings only extending as far as the 

 apical process, as more fully described below. The result of 

 these researches leaves no other way open but to name the 

 species further southward or in the temperate region, and to 

 make my contention more clear I have described the two spe- 

 cies in question.
