Scudder.] 78 [November 6, 
angularly produced in the middle; supraanal plate nearly square, 
tapering very slightly, the outer angles slightly produced, and the 
posterior edge with a median triangular pointed extension, a third 
as wide as the extremity of the plate, and longer than broad; mar- 
ginal apophyses of preceding segment consisting of a pair of attingent, 
depressed, rather stout, scarcely tapering, blunt-tipped fingers, fully 
half as long as the plate, and slightly upturned at the tip; anal cerci 
very simple, being slight conical projections, tapering mostly in their 
basal half, the tip blunt, the whole not so long as the dise of the 
supraanal plate. 
The general color is a greenish yellow, more or less tinged with 
brown, brighter in the ¢ than in the ?, and marked with blackish 
fuscous; the darker markings consist principally of a dorsal stripe, 
which either extends over the pronotum as a broad equal band, often 
fainter in the middle, with a triangular extension on the head, and 
sometimes a narrowing infuscation on the meso- and metathorax ( S), 
or forms an obovate patch along the middle of the anterior lobe of the 
prothorax, with the same triangular extension on the head, and re- 
appears sometimes on the meso- and’metathorax, and always on the 
abdominal joints, as a series of obliquely descending, triangular, lateral 
patches, separated from one another by a yellowish median line (¢) ; 
also of a broad lateral band, which extends from behind the eye back- 
ward, either to the hinder edge of the prothorax, its upper margin 
straight, its lower curved (¢), or across the anterior lobe of the pro- 
thorax (occasionally in an obscure manner across the entire pro- 
thorax), both margins curved (2); beyond this the lateral band ex- 
tends over the remainder of the thorax, and over the abdomen, often 
broken on the latter into spots, and always enlivened on the former 
by an oblique yellowish line, which crosses it on the metathoracic 
episterna. The face partakes of the color of the under surface, as do 
the bases of the antennz; beyond the antenne become slightly 
rufous; the vertex just behind its narrowest point has a transverse 
blackish line. Hind femora greenish yellow, the lower portion of 
their outer face more or less embrowned, deepening frequently into 
black, which occasionally covers the whole; hind tibiz pale green, 
the spines black tipped. 
Length of body, 3, 16.5 mm., 2, 23 mm.; of antenne, ¢, 8 mm.,, 
?, 8mm.; of hind femora, d, 10 mm., 2, 12.25 mm. 4 9,12 @.

This is the only absolutely apterous species of Pezotettix I know, 
which occurs at low elevations. All others, I believe, are sub-alpine.
