In general appearance and in most points of its structure this species 
resembles P. discolor, described above. It may at once be distin- 
guished from it by the form of the wings and anal cerci, and the 
color of the hind tibie. | 
88. Pezotettix pupzeformis. Vertex between the eyes 
half as broad again (¢), or twice as broad (2), as the first antennal 
joint; foveola broad, shallow, enlarging slightly in front, the bound- 
ing walls low and rounded; frontal ridge moderate, equal, flat, 
sunken a little at the ocellus, and, in the ¢, sulcate below it. 
Pronotum simple, equal, the front margin a very little full, the hind 
margin gently angulated; median carina distinct, though rather 
slight, equal; lateral carinz rounded off; anterior lobe faintly and 
distantly, posterior lobe abundantly but not deeply punctate. 
Teomina obovate, about as long as the pronotum, less than twice as 
long as broad, the curves of the inner and costal margins equal, the 
tip acutely angled. Last ventral segment of ¢ abdomen very short 
and broad, tumid, the centre with a small pointed tubercle, the 
posterior (upper) edge slightly elevated, entire ; supraanal plate 
triangular, sharply pointed, fully as long as broad, the sides straight; 
marginal apophyses of preceding segment consisting of a pair of 
minute, rounded, approximated, flattened lobes, as long as broad; 
anal cerci with the basal half tapering by the rapid sloping of the 
upper edge, so as to be half as broad in the middle as at the base, 
beyond broadening again somewhat on the same side, so that the 
apical half is subspatulate, continuous with the basal part, but strongly 
incurved, deeply channeled externally, the tip broadly rounded, the 
whole about as long as the last joint of the fore tarsi. 
The general color is a griseous brown, excepting the abdomen, 
which is brownish testaceous; beneath clay yellow; the antenne 
are yellow at the base, deepening beyond to fuscous ferruginous ; 
from behind the eye a broad black band extends to the posterior lobe 
of the pronotum, generally enlivened on the cheeks by an oblique 
yellow streak, which in the @ traverses narrowly the pronotum 
nearly or quite to the lateral carinze; the tegmina are of the color of 
the dise of the pronotum, arid immaculate. Hind femora clay yellow, 
more or less infuscated, and with a pair of often obscure blackish 
bars; hind tibize glaucous, pallid at base, with a blackish annulus.
