   differences 
  : 
  

  

  "Head 
  quite 
  yellowish 
  (greenish 
  yellow). 
  The 
  prothorax 
  is 
  

   brownish 
  pale 
  green, 
  with 
  a 
  darker 
  line 
  along 
  the 
  front 
  edge, 
  and 
  

   with 
  the 
  hind 
  margin 
  no 
  darker, 
  the 
  membrane 
  between 
  it 
  and 
  thorax 
  

   being 
  light 
  Hooker's 
  green. 
  The 
  ground 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  thorax 
  appears 
  

   in 
  these 
  specimens 
  to 
  be 
  brown 
  (pale) 
  with 
  the 
  lobes 
  mentioned 
  in 
  

   the 
  first 
  description 
  only 
  a 
  little 
  darker. 
  It 
  requires 
  a 
  careful 
  ex- 
  

   amination 
  to 
  separate 
  the 
  inner 
  and 
  outer 
  lobes 
  of 
  the 
  thorax, 
  as 
  

   there 
  is 
  only 
  a 
  narrow 
  line 
  of 
  color 
  between 
  them. 
  The 
  median 
  

   caudal 
  lobe 
  projecting 
  into 
  the 
  abdomen 
  is 
  somewhat 
  blackish 
  and 
  

   the 
  darkest 
  of 
  all. 
  The 
  abdomen 
  shows 
  a 
  very 
  faint 
  darker 
  stripe 
  

   down 
  the 
  center. 
  Cauda 
  distinctly 
  but 
  only 
  slightly 
  lighter 
  than 
  

   abdomen. 
  Cornicles 
  no 
  lighter 
  at 
  tip."
