Length of body, male, 18.5 mm., fenuile. 21 lum.; antennae, male, 8 

 linn., female, 7..") mm.; tegmina, male, 11 mm., female, 11,-1 mm.; hind 

 femora, male, lO.j mm., female, 11.8 mm. 



One male, 1 female. Northern New Mexico, August to September, 

 Lieutenant W. L. Carpenter. 



I have seen no other males of this species since its tirst descrii>tion, 

 but I have before me three new females, which from the greater brevity 

 of their tegmina I am inclined to place here rather than in Ae. inrnhuU'd 

 (from which the females at least ar'^ with difticulty separated), and 

 which come from Colorado (Canon City, Fremont County, .Morrison and 

 riiler. — IT.S.X.M. [No. 710]). The specimen collected by Morrison was 

 obtained on the plains at an elevation of 5,000 feet, and is almost wholly 

 grass-green with the lighter parts yellowish green. 



8. AEOLOPLUS UNIFORMIS, new species. 

 (Plate VI, Fig. 2.) 



The color of the only specimens seen are probably changed somewhat 

 from their having been killed in spirits and are now of a light dead leaf 

 color; probably in life they were uniformly testaceous, with perhaps 

 a greenish tinge. The pronotum shows, at least on the prozona, signs 

 of a l)road, paler, mediodorsal band, and a similar band on the middle 

 of the lateral lobes; the (mter face of vhe hind femora shows indications 

 ot a pair of dusky transverse bands, mesial and extramesial, and the 

 apical half or more of the hind tibial sp'ues are black. The fastigium of 

 tlie vertex is scarcely in the least imi)ressed, exce})ting at 'ts very base 

 between the eyes; the frontal eosta has a row of puncta on either side,
