MORGAN HEBARD 155 



Considerable variation is shown by the size and length compared with 

 breadth of the tegmina in this series, but in all the specimens these organs are 

 distinctive from those of quercicola, as discussed under that species. 



Coloration. — Male. Face varying from russet to yellowish. Eyes dark 

 brown. Antennae ferruginous. Occiput, disk of prozona and entire metazona 

 and dorsal field of tegmina sayal brown, individually varying to warm sepia. 

 Lateral fields of tegmina slightly darker than dorsal field of the same. Head 

 showing a broad postocular band of black, which is much broader on the 

 pronotum, continued to the principal sulcus and occupying nearly the entire 

 dorsal half of the lateral lobes; remaining portions of lateral lobes cephalad of 

 principal sulcus clay color, rarely with a very weak olivaceous tinge. Abdomen 

 clay color, other portions of ventral surface yellowish. Cephalic and median 

 femora clay color, often with an olivaceous tinge (in some specimens isabella 

 color). Caudal femora with external face sayal brown, individually varying 

 to warm sepia, with a broad pregenicular yellowish annulus; ventral surface 

 yellowish with a greenish tinge; dorsal surface buffy with two broad transverse 

 bands of dark brown, which bands are very frequently individually citrine; 

 genicular areas very dark, blackish brown except the distal portions of the 

 genicular lobes which are paler. Caudal tibiae coral red, spines black. 



Female (recessive). General coloration Of dorsal surfaces ochraceous-tawny, 

 paling to ochraceous-buff laterad and on the occiput. Head showing a narrow 

 postocular black band, continued as a very narrow line along the dorsal mar- 

 gins of the lateral lobes of the pronotum to the principal sulcus. Eyes hazel. 

 Tegmina appreciably bicolored, dorsal field ochraceous-tawny, lateral fields 

 ochraceous-tawny washed with cinnamon-brown. Underparts yellowish. 

 Caudal femora unicolorous, the genicular areas alone showing traces of black. 

 Caudal tibiae coral red; spines black, except at bases which are pink. In the 

 maximum intensive coloration females are almost as dark as males, the postocu- 

 lar bar very broad on the prozona, spreading over nearly half of the surface 

 of the lateral lobes, with ventral margin frequently irregular and sometimes 

 with a spot of the pale ground coloration showing through mesad, this bar 

 continued more narrowly on the metazona to the caudal margin. Tegmina 

 with dorsal field cinnamon-brown, lateral fields prouts brown. Caudal femora 

 showing the bands of the dorsal surface, but not as pronounced as in the male. 



The series at hand shows that in the immature instars two distinct color 

 phases occur, at least in females; in one the general coloration is yellowish 

 green 16 (14), in the other brown (IS)', the postocular dark bars in all variably 

 well defined, except in a few of the yellowish green individuals. 



Specimens Examined: 158; 93 males, 32 females, 1 immature male and 32 

 immature females. 



Florida: De Funiak Springs and Pensacola. 



A series of eighty-nine males and thirty-one females from De 

 Funiak Springs, bearing the same data as the type, are here 

 designated as paratypes. All of the material of this species was 

 taken by Rehn and Hebard between August 28 and 30, 1915. 



16 Light green with a yellowish tinge in life.
