The largest of our speries ol* Melanoi)!! and lieavy bodied; excepting 

 the hind legs and the lateral lobes of the pionotnni, the general color 

 is a nearly nniforin l)r«»wiiish testaceous, becoming paler testaceous in 

 specimens from arid regions; in those from Nebraska, Kansas, an<l 

 Colorado it is sometimes a blackish green, while in those from Illinois 

 and Indiana it is often of a dark brownish green. The head has some 

 times a i)air of dnsky, divergent strii>es, passing from the posterior 

 corners of the fastigium backward across the vertex and, when these 

 are present, there are often other but irregular streaks of similar tint 

 on the genae and clouds over parts of the face; the vertex is gently 

 arched, more gently in the female than in the male, with a broad inter 

 val between the eyes, the fastigium broadly and not very deeply 

 impressed; frontal costa broad but narrower than the interspace 

 between the eyes, percurrent, eciual except for a slight expansion below, 

 broadly and shallowly sulcate below (and including) the ocellus, puuc 

 tate; eyes moderately prominent, short, not a great deal longer than 

 broad; antennae fulvo- testaceous, nearly twice as long (male) or fully
