GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE TERRITOEIES. 451 



It is probable tbat tbis species sbould be placed in Ommafolampis, but 

 I am not sufficiently acquainted witb that genus to determine tbis i)oint. 



a Bodgei, Tbos., PI. II, figs. 4, 5, 9., (Canadian Ent., 1871, p. 168.) 



Posterior femora with three white bands. Elytra not more than half 

 the length of the abdomen, unspotted. 



Male. — Small size. Vertex elongate, distinctly channeled j frontal 

 costa broad, flat, and squarely margined above the ocellus ; margins 

 punctured; antennse thick, passing the thorax; joints distinct and 

 somewhat obconic. The transverse incisions of the pronotum distinct; 

 posterior lateral margins very slightly incurved at the humerus; median 

 carina distinct only on the anterior and posterior lobes. Elytra about 

 half the length of the abdomen, oblong-ovate. Posterior femora about 

 as long as the abdomen. Prosternal i^oint thick, obtuse, transverse. 

 Cerci slender ; subanal plate somewhat pointed, the margin on the upper 

 surfiice entire. 



Color, — Brown, varied with white. Face cinereous. Occiput and 

 disk of the pronotum dark brown, mottled with lighter and darker 

 shades, except the posterior lobe, which is brown. Elytra brown, lower 

 half very dark ; on each side of the head and i^ronotum behind the eye 

 there is a dark glabrous spot, which does not extend back beyond the 

 third transverse incision. Abdomen pale, mottled with reddish-brown. 

 Eour anterior tibiae pale reddish-brown. A white oblique spot above 

 the posterior coxae. Posterior femora crossed externally by three white 

 bands, the one nearest the apex much the smallest; the middle interme- 

 diate dark band is abruptly bent forward in the middle of the disk. 

 Antennae pale at base: rest rufous. 



Female. — Pronotum uniformly dark brown, except the dark spots on 

 the sides, and the x>osterior lobe of the pronotum, which is a bright 

 reddish-brown. The elytra extend over but two segments. Abdomen 

 brown. This may not be the female of this species, as it varies con- 

 siderably, and was not captured where the males were. 



Dimensions. — 9 , length, .85 inch ; elytra, .2 inch ; posterior femora, .4 

 inch; posterior tibiae, .32 inch. (^, length, .56 inch; elytra, .18 inch; 

 posterior femora, .37 inch ; posterior tibiae, .26 inch. 



Collected on Pike's Peak, Colorado, b^^ Mr. C. R. Dodge, of the 

 Agricultural Department, in honor of whom it has been named. The 

 female was captured in the neighborhood of the peak, but not on it ; at 

 least Mr. Dodge thinks it was not. I have been considerably puzzled 

 in regard to the genus in which this falls; the short wings would place 

 it in Fezotettix, but the form of the pronotum and cerci would appear 

 to place it among the Calopteni^ and therefore I have allowed its general 

 api)earance to prevail over the single character, short wings and elytra. 



C. femur-rtihriim, Burm. 



Although Walker mentions this species as occurring at Vancouver's 

 Island, yet I have found no specimen west of the dividing range of the 

 Eocky Mountains that I can refer to this species. 



C, spretus, Uhler, (MSS.) 



Found the past season in great abundance in the north part of Salt 

 Lake Basin. When we reached Ogden, June 1, 1 saw but very few speci- 

 mens; but when we reached Box Elder Canon, two weeks later, the larvae 

 were seen spreading out from points where thej^ liad evidently been 

 hatched. When w^e passed through the hills to Cache Valley, a few 

 miles farther, and but a few days later, I found them just entering their
