show whether these represent geographic races or the less import- 
ant topomorphs. From the present material it appears probable that 
crassipes, described from Kilauea Volcano at 4000 feet, should be 
recognized as a geographic race, warranting full trinomial status. 
In the topotypic specimen before us the tibiae are strikingly 
heavier than in the other specimens, thickened tibiae being the 
character given as diagnostic for crassipes by Perkins. This race is 
found at the highest elevation at which individuals of the species 
have been recorded.

We believe that the present material represents a topomorph 
of kauaiensis, distinguishable from the typical condition by the more 
elongate tegmina. In the specimens before us these organs are as 
well developed as in the maximum for B. nitida (Brunner). The 
species is readily distinguished from mitida by the shorter and 
heavier vertex, decidedly finer and more numerous tegminal vena- 
tion and male cerci, with ventral tooth directed mesad, its apex 
pointing in the same direction as that of the dorsal tooth. The 
material before us of both these species has the dorsal margins of 
the caudal tibiae well supplied with minute spines. 
A series of fourteen immature examples, showing both green 
and brown color phases, apparently represent this species. These 
were taken by J. A. Kusche on the island of Kauai, between 
March 26 and April 27, 1919, and are now in the Hebard Col- 
lection.
