1878.] TT [Scudder. 
broadly rounded and produced a little above (or in its position, ante- 
riorly). 
The general color is dark umber above, yellowish testaceous be- 
low; face dull olivaceous, in the 2 apparently darker by infuscation; 
antennz testaceous, more or less infuscated on the apical half; on 
the back of the head a clay-colored band, which partly encircles the 
eye above, extends backward over the pronotum on which it is very 
slightly arched; a similar but much broader and rather paler belt 
borders the lower margin of the deflected lobes, while a median line 
of the same color occurs on the abdomen, a mere line in front, broad- 
ening as it passes backward, extending over the whole dorsum 
and apically confluent with the lighter color of the under surface, 
leaving on either side between the upper and lower surfaces a broad but 
narrowing black belt. Hind femora with the outer face dark green, 
more or less infuscated, sometimes nearly black especially on the up- 
per half, the upper ferruginous and the lower greenish yellow; hind 
tibia rather dull green, occasionally obscured at either extremity, 
the spines with apical half black. 
Length of body, ¢, 14 mm., 2, 18.5 mm.; of antenne, d, 7.25 
mm., ?, 7 mm.; of tegmina, 3, 2.8 mm., 2, 3 mm.; of hind femora, 
g,9 mm., 2,105 mm. 2 ¢, 4 &, taken in Bosque Co., Texas, in 
woods on plants and bushes in the latter half of September and the 
former half of October. Pairs were taken October 11th. This spe- 
cies bears a general resemblance to P. gracilis Bruner, with which 
P. minutipennis 'Thom. is synonymous. 
83. Pezotettix nudus. Eyes rather small; vertex between 
them as broad as (¢), or rather broader than (¢) the first antennal 
joint ; foveola very shallow and inconspicuous, very slender, spatulate 
in form; frontal ridge moderate, equal, flat above, at and below and 
to some extent a short distance above the ocellus sulcate. Pronotum 
very simple, expanding a very little posteriorly, mostly on the pos- 
erior half, the front and hind margins straight, the latter sometimes 
almost imperceptibly emarginate in the middle, especially in the ¢, 
the lateral carine wholly wanting; the median carina very slight, but 
distinct, and equal throughout; the whole pronotum is equally sub- 
rugoso-punctuate throughout, unless it be that the disc is coarser 
than the deflected lobes; meso- and metanotum, and the basal seg- 
ments of the abdomen similarly but more obscurely punctured, 
Not a vestige of tegmina. Terminal ventral segment of ¢ 
abdomen twice as broad as long, tumid, the upper edge a little and
