Scudder.] 80 [November 6, 
12.5mm.,?,14mm. 3¢,42%. Taken at Lakin, Kansas (3000 ft.), 
Sept. 1, and Pueblo, Col. (4700 ft.), Aug. 30-31, by myself; and 
in Colorado 5500 ft., by Mr. Morrison. 
This remarkable species is very distinct from any yet described, 
though I have an allied but still very different form from Sonora. 
85. Pezotettix texanus. Vertex between the eyes half as 
broad again (¢), or twice as broad (¢), as the first antennal joint; 
the foveola exceedingly shallow, hardly perceptible, broad, enlarging 
apically, well rounded apically; frontal costa moderate, rather 
prominent, equal, flat; sulcate nowhere, excepting immediately 
beneath the ocellus, and there but slightly and briefly. Prono- 
tum very simple, nearly equal, enlarging a little on the posterior 
lobe (¢), or enlarging posteriorly: to a considerable extent, and 
uniformly throughout (2), the front margin scarcely convex (¢) 
or straight (2), the hind border very broadly angulate, the median 
carina distinct and abrupt, but slight and equal, the lateral carine 
subobsolete; the posterior lobe very faintly rugulose. Tegmina pro- 
duced ovate, about as long as the head and prothorax, nearly twice 
as long as broad, the inner margin rather gently, the costal margin 
considerably convex, the tip roundly pointed. Last ventral segment 
of ¢ abdomen pyramidal, the open top quadrate, facing forward, the 
posterior edge a little produced and entire; supraanal plate trian- 
gular, a very little broader than long, pointed, the sides nearly 
straight; the marginal apophyses of the preceding segment consisting 
of slight but broad, depressed, angular teeth, their points as far apart 
as the width of one of the apophyses ; anal cerci pretty broad and 
straight, broadly and roundly contracted in the middle, the extremity 
docked and rounded, the whole directed toward the apex of the 
abdomen, and curved considerably inward. 
The general color is a dull somewhat cinereous brown above, a 
dirty but rather pale greenish brown below, marked conspicuously by 
avery broad, straight, piceous belt, scarcely larger behind than in 
front, extending from the eye across the anterior lobe of the prono- 
tum, its upper edge at the lateral carine; the antenne are pale red, 
infuscated apically. The upper surface of the body and the tegmina 
are more or less profusely dotted with very pale fuscous; an oblique 
wedge-shaped, yellow dash, the apex in front and above, follows the 
ridge of the metathoracic episterna, margined on either side by an 
equal piceous belt. ‘The hind femora generally partake of the color 
of the upper surface of the body, but appear darker from being
