340 NORTH AMERICAN MELANOPLI (ORTHOPTERA) 



HH. Male cercus elongate. Indiana and Minnesota south 

 through Illinois and Iowa. . . . viridipes viridipes Scudder 



GG. Male cercus small, strongly tapering, narrow distad with 

 apex almost acute. Caudal femora never heavily marked. 

 Ozark Mountains in Missouri and Arkansas. 



sylvaticus McNeill 



FF. Male cercus narrower, not strongly but distinctly widened 

 distad. Caudal femora moderately to scarcely marked. 

 Southern Appalachians longicornis (Saussure) 



EE. The proximal processes relatively large. Eastern Kansas 

 and northwestern Missouri beameri Hebard 



DD. The proximal processes with caudal surfaces conspicuously 

 concave, ear-like. 



El. These processes short with margins more evenly convex, 

 projecting scarcely further than the pair of aciculate 

 median processes. Appalachians from southern New York 

 and northern New Jersey to North Carolina and extending 

 westward into eastern Ohio si?nilis Morse 



EE1. These processes more elongate, projecting considerably 

 beyond the pair of aciculate median processes. 



Fl. These processes with dorsal margin convex. (Male cercus 

 distinctive, its disto-ventral angle produced in a small 

 sharp projection.) Appalachians from Virginia southward 

 and extending westward through southern Indiana. 



hubbelli new species 



FF1. These processes with dorsal margin produced in a small 

 sharply rounded median apex. (Male cercus distinctive, 

 its disto-ventral apex rounded.) 



G. Appalachians of North Carolina. (Male cercus elongate and 

 slender.) acrophilus acrophilus new species 



GG. Appalachians of Virginia. (Male cercus shorter and stout.) 



acrophilus pachycercus new subspecies 



CC. Basal portion much more elevated caudad so that the two 

 pair of dorsal processes surpass it very briefly. (The 

 proximal processes more slender than in the preceding 

 species.) Southern Appalachians deceptus Morse 



BB. The proximal processes very slender and very elongate, di- 

 rected dorsad and curving outward then inward like 

 calipers, their outer surfaces convex, their inner surfaces 

 concave. These processes act as sheaths to the median 

 processes which are almost as elongate and are similarly 

 curved. Appalachians of the Carolinas.
