63. Paroxya recta. Olivaceous yellow, brighter and more 

 yellow in the male, duller and more greenish in the female ; the upper 

 surface of head and thorax and the tegmina wood-brown with a slight 

 olivaceous tinge. Front of head slightly plumbeous ; antennas two 

 thirds as long as the body in the male, yellow at the extreme base, 

 beyond castaneous, the apical half dark fuscous with pale incisures; 

 sides of head and thorax marked as in the preceding species, but 

 with more brightly contrasting colors, and with only inconspicuous 

 and incomplete pleural stripes. Tegmina of female like those of 

 the male, without flecks, and with a slight olivaceous tinge. Sides 

 of hind femora deepening to greenish, the hind tibiae of a deeper 

 glaucous than the preceding species. Besides these points of dis- 

 tinction from P. atlanlica, it is a considerably larger species, and 

 appears to have a less sharply angulated hinder border of pronotum. 

 Length, cf, 29 mm., ?, 41 mm.; of antennas, cf, 19 mm., ?, 15.5 mm.; 

 of tegmina, cf, 18 mm., ?, 25.25 mm.; of hind femora, cf, 15.5 mm.,

64. Mermiria alacris. Yellowish green, marked with roseate 

 ferruginous and fuscous. Head green, with a broad median longitu- 

 dinal ferruginous stripe, more or less infuscated anteriorly (occasion- 

 ally obsolescent), and a slightly brighter, though sometimes infus- 

 cated and almost equally broad belt behind the eye; a similar but 

 narrower stripe passes from the base of the antennas to the anterior 

 base of the mandibles, broadening below ; antennas ferruginous. Pro- 

 notum marked as in M. neomexicana, but with roseo-ferruginous 

 instead of blackish ferruginous. Tegmina green, the posterior half 

 more or less infuscated or tinged with ferruginous. Hind femora dull 

 green, linearly infuscated; hind tibiae pale and rather dull red, the 

 spines pale on the basal, black on the apical half. Length, cf, 33 mm., 

 ?, 46 mm.; of antennas, cf, 15 mm., ?, 16 mm.; of tegmina, 

 cf, 23 mm., ?, 35 mm.; of hind femora, cf, 18 mm., ?, 25 mm. 



32 cf, 2 ?. Georgia, H. K. Morrison. This species resembles the 

 most closely M. neomexicana (Opsomala neomexicana Thorn., M, 

 Belfragei Stal), being, like the latter, clearly distinct from M. bicit-
