Hemip. Fabriciana. In many however this color is scarcely 

 indicated and in others it is confined to one or more elytral 

 areoles. In two examples from St. Margaret's Bay the black 

 lines are much reduced making them very close to T. fausta 

 Walker, from St. Domingo. 



Tettigonia histrio var. sanguinipes n. var. 



Color deep black. Head pale with two broad black vittas that extend 

 over the vertex and meet at the apex of the front where they form a single 

 median vitta on the clypeus; cheeks with a black vitta below the antennae 

 and a broken one below the eye. Pronotum black with three longitudinal 

 bands and the lateral margins pale. Scutellum black with a median basal 

 spot and the broad apex pale. Elytra black; corium marked with four pale 

 spots forming incomplete transverse vittas; the apex smoky hyaline; clavus 

 with four pale spots, the two apical elongated, near the commissure. Wings 

 almost black, highly iridescent. Breast, abdomen and legs sanguineous 

 marked with black on the pleural pieces and disk of the abdominal segments, 

 apex of the tibiae and tarsi and frequently the middle of the femora black or 

 fuscous. In some specimens the pale markings are deeply suffused with 

 sanguineous, the face may be almost entirely pale and the other pale mark- 

 ings may be so extended as to show clearly its relationship with histrio. 

 Through the varieties figured on plate 15, figures 28 and 29 of the Biologia 

 there seems to be a direct connection between histrio Fabr. and Sta/ii Sign. 

 The present variety appears to be an extreme form even more distinct than 

 Sta/ii, but the genital characters are the same and I cannot feel justified in 

 describing it as a new species. Length 7 mm. 



This variety was common especially in the more elevated 

 and moist localities. It was abundant at Mandeville and I took 

 it at Balaclava, Appleton, Richmond, Hope Bay and St. Mar- 

 garet's Bay. I did not find it either at Kingston or Montego 

 Bay. 



Tettigonia macrocephala n. sp. 



Somewhat allied to got hie a but with a smaller and much more slender 

 body. Head large, much broader than the pronotum, more rounded before 

 than in gothica; clypeus more convex. Pronotum narrower, about one third 

 longer than the vertex, almost semi-circular before, feebly concave behind, 

 valve of the male large, rounded behind; plates narrow, subacute at apex. 



Color pale yellow tinged with fulvous on the sides of the vertex and 

 with testaceous on the pronotum. Vertex with a broad pale median vitta, 

 angularly expanded before the ocelli, bordered by a brown line; behind the 

 ocelli is a short brown line and exterior to them a brown cloud, temples with 

 a blackish spot on the line between the face and vertex, apex of the head 

 with a round black spot either side of which the frontal striae are marked 

 with brown where they encroach upon the vertex. Face pale with a short 

 longitudinal brown vitta on the apex of the front and extending over on to 

 the base of the clypeus; cheeks with a brown cloud beneath the eyes. Pro-
