 more or less tinjjed with brownish, with a broa<l bla(;k band on either 

 side of the middle, whose edges follow the imj)res8ed lines, the basal 

 one sending a median shoot to the base: hind tibiae vinous red, a little 

 inluseated at the base, the spines black, ten to twelve in number in the 

 outer series. 



Vertex gently tumid, a little elevated above the i>roiiotnm, the 

 intersjjace between the eyes broader than (female) or scarcely as broad 

 as (male) the basal Joint of the antennae; fastigium rapidly declivent, 

 broadly and shallowly sulcate; frontal <*osta bioad, subcMjual, sulcate 

 throughout excepting Just above the antennae; eyes ])retty large, a 

 little prominent in the nnile, shorter than the intraocular portion of the 

 geiuie; antennae about as long as (male) or two-thirds as long as ( female) 

 the hind femora. Pronotnm with eif.'.al sides, the transverse sidi i 

 moderate, continuous, nearly straight, the nu'dian carina distinct on 

 the metazona, the <lisk separated from the lateral lobes by a distinct 

 but bluntly rounded angle; Iront nnirgin subtruncate, faintly emargiiiate 

 in the female, hind margin very obtusely angulate; ])rozona loiigitndi 

 nal (male) or subquadratc (female), about a fourth longer than the 

 rnguloso punctate metazona. Prosternal spine rather long, cylindrical, 

 a])ically tapering but blunt, retrorse, in the female api)ressed and 

 strmter; intersj)ace between mesosternal lobes halt as h)ng again as 

 broad (male) or (piadrate (female). Tegmina only half as long as the 

 abdomen, longer than the pronotura, tapering, the inner nuirgin convex, 

 ai)ically subacuminate; wings slightly shorter. IJind fenn)ra stout and 

 long. Extremity of male abdomen clavate, a little upturned, the supra- 

 anal plate triangular, with convex sides, acutangulate apex, and a 

 percurrent, not very deep, median suhfus; furcula consisting of a ])air 

 of slight approximate spines overlying the ridges bordering the sulcus 

 of the supraanal i)late: cerci moderate in size, coujpressed, tapering 

 and straight on the middle half, with an obscure inner superior basal 

 tubercle, beyond the middle bent inward and a little upward, equal, 

 the tip squarely truncate with rounded angles; subgenital plate small, 

 longei' than broad, slightly elevated and feebly prolonged at apex, 

 forming a slight tubercle. 



Length of bo<ly, male, 2.3 mm., female, 2f).o mm.; antennae, nmle, 13 

 mm., female, 11 mm.; tegmina, male, 9 mm., female, 9.5 mm,; hind 

 femora, male, 13. .5 mm., female, IC") mm. 



One nnile, three females. Georgia, Morrison; Smithville, Xortl: 

 Carolina, November 22. 



It seems very probable that this species is the Pizotettiv zimmcrmanni 

 of Saussure, described from the female only, but 1 find it impossible to 

 deternnne from the descrii>tion. If it should so prove, of course the 

 name has priority over the one here employed.
