narrows and decreases into small flecks on the distal tergites. Other port- 

 ions of ventral surface clay color. Cephalic and median limbs clay color, 

 tinged with cinnamon. Caudal femora similar, but showing faintly the 

 characteristic Melanoploid pattern in a slightly darker brown, ventral surface 

 orange-cinnamon. Caudal tibiae weak grayish glaucous; external spines 

 black, internal spines and all spurs whitish proximad, black distad. 



In the intensive examples the markings of the caudal femora are more 

 distinct, the ventral surfaces brick red. In one female the caudal tibiae are 

 grayish, showing no trace of glaucous. Another female is pale greenish yellow, 

 showing no darker markings. 



In addition to the described pair, a paratypic series of six 

 males and two females is before us, belonging to the Fulton and 

 Hebard Collections.

17 Due to the fact that the internal section of the distal portion of the cercus 

 is of necessity foreshortened in this aspect, it appears as long as the external 

 section, but is in reality very slightly shorter.
