10 One of these males, though adult, has the genitalia as in the instar 

 preceding maturity. We have previously seen this condition only in a very 

 few males of the Melanopli from the Rocky Mountains. It may be an 

 abnormality produced by the speeding up of period of growth in rigorous 

 areas where the active life of the individual is comparatively short.
