 V3 Tettigonia redacta, Fowl. Bio. Homop. II, p. 276, pi. 18, fig. 21, 1900. 



Resembling coccinea but smaller, reddish or yellowish, 

 with definite lines on vertex and scutellum. Length, 5-6 

 mm.; width, 1.25 mm. 



Vertex flat, except for posterior margin between the ocelli, nearly 

 right angled the apex blunt, the lateral margins vary slightly 

 rounding, four-tifths the length of the pronotum. Face feebly con- 

 vex, acutely angled with vertex. Elytra moderately long, venation 

 as in coccinea, the outer anteapical cell sometimes broken up or 

 wanting. 



Color; vertex pale yellow, a black stripe just over the margin on 

 front, a pair of slender, approximate, median lines which are joined 

 anteriorly to a pair of broken lines just inside and almost parallel 

 with the margins and running back inside the eyes, interrupted by 

 the black sutures which inclose the ocelli. The space between these 

 lines almost white. Pronotum, pale yellow in front, green behind. 

 Scutellum yellow, three longitudinal stripes in front of the trans- 

 verse suture and two behind; sometimes a pair of dots inside the 

 basal angles. E ytra geen, the claval suture with a blue stripe, 

 either side of which is a broader red one, the inner pair of stripes 

 sometimes extending forward across the pronotum and converging 

 on the vertex, apical margin and posterior third of costa pale, with 

 numerous triangular spots. Face and below, pale yellow. 



Genitalia; female segment nearly twice as long as the penulti- 

 mate, the disc longitudinally elevated, posterior margin obtusely, 

 angularly produced, the sides a little concave; male plates a little 

 longer than the ultimate segment, concavely acuminate, their black 

 tipped apices curving up around the pygofers, side margins with 

 line hairs. 



Specimens of this form are at hand from the District of 

 Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, 

 Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, 

 Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and various parts of Central

Form and size of v&r'ieiy'versula nearly. Vertex slightly shorter, 

 blunter. Color green, vertex yellow, the marginal band reduced to 

 three spots, one on apex and one against either eye. The stripe on
