 ment of the male entire at the tip: 

 c. Spots small, and confined to a median line along the 



disk femur -riihrum, 



cc. Spots larger, and equally distributed over the 



elytra * griseus. 



aa. Elytra about as long as the abdomen. 

 1), General color pale yellow : 



c. Hind femora with two oblique black streaks out- 

 side , MUUiratKS. 



cc. Hind femora vrith three black patches outside . .scHptus. 

 1)1). General color not pale yellow : 



c. Hind femora with three straight black bands; lower 

 valves of the ovipositor neary straight at the 



apex pnnctulafKS. 



cc. Hind femora with oblique brown bands ; lower valves 



of the ovipositor bent at the apex ^occidentaVis.

1). Color, pale olive-green ; a pale stripe each side the prono- 



tum * TurnbulUi.

C. viridis, nov. sp. PI. II, fig. 3. 



Lateral carinreof the pronotum obsolete. Green, with a white dorsal 

 stripe ; femora banded with red. 



Vertex slightly expanding in front of the eyes, channeled ; lateral 

 carinpe of the face moderately divergent ; frontal costa sulcate and 

 narrowed below the ocelhis. Eyes elongate, large, acuminate above, 

 and approaching unusually near to each other. Pronotum sub-cylin- 

 drical; lateral carinoe obliterated; median carina scarcely perceptible ; 

 the posterior lateral margins nearly straight from the lateral angle 

 to the apex, there being no entering angle at the humerus, this 

 point of the margin being marked only by a slight inward flexure; 

 the posterior transverse incision only cuts the median carina. Cerci 

 of the male regularly acuminate; subanal plate entire, sub-trunciite 

 at the apex; superanal plate triangular with two sub-medial con- 

 vergent ribs or carina?. The elytra and wings about as long as the ab- 

 domen. The posterior femora reach the tip of the abdomen. 



Color^ (dried after immersion in alcohol.) Entirely of a pale greenish- 

 yellow, except as follows : an tenure rufous ; tip of the vertex, and a spot 

 beneath the eye, (in most specimens,) fuscous; transverse incisions of 

 the pronotum, and two short lines on the sides, dark. A slightly paler 

 median stripe is visible on the occiput and pronotum, bordered by pale 

 brown ; posterior lobe of the pronotum tinged with roseate. Tips of 

 the spines and claws black. Elytra and wings pellucid, immaculate. 



The living insect is colored as follows: A bright pea-green, with a 

 white stripe along the middle of the occiput and pronotum ; and one 

 along the angle of each elytron, and one along the edge of the hind 

 femora. A bright red ring around each femur just above the knee; 

 hind tibiae blue. Male and female the same except in size. 



Dimensions. — 9 , length, .85 inch; elytra, .02 inch; posterior femora, 

 .5 inch. $ , lengtli, .62 inch.
