THIRTEENTH REPORT 
Pronotum truncate anteriorly, obtuse to right angled posteriorly ; me- 
dian carina low, cristate, not arched, faintly cut by principal sulcus; 
metazona one and one-half times the length of prozona, densely punctate. 
Male furcula wanting; cerci curved, tapering horns; abdomen strongly 
recurved. Ovipositor usually strongly exserted. 
This species was the most numerous and most widely distributed of 
all found. Hence, since the colors harmonize with the surroundings, a 
great variety of ground colors— yellow, green, brown, dark gray — was 
found, always, however, with the following fuscous markings: — a v on 
the occiput; a line from the hind border of the eye, across the lateral 
lobe of the prozona; three diagonal crossbars on the outer face of the 
hind femora; knees; large splotches on the tegmina; a more or less dis- 
tinct ring on the second quarter of the hind tibiae. The veins of the 
basal part of the wing are also fuscous. 
Measurements : — Length of body, male, 16-21 mm., female, 21-23 mm.; 
tegmina, male, 15-18 mm., female, 20 mm.; hind femora, male, 11-13 mm., 
• female, 13 mm.

“Body pubescent, punctate. Vertex nearly flat, ovate, slightly cari- 
nate, apex notched; frontal costa rather wide, sulcate, punctate at and 
above the ocellus. Pronotum strongly constricted near the principal 
sulcus; metazona almost twice the length of the prozona, flat, hind mar- 
gin right or acute angled ; lateral carinae acute anteriorly, obsolete pos- 
teriorly. The prozona has a small oblique ridge on each side, near the 
front margin. Median carina, in the prozona, narrow, low crested or 
tectiform. somewhat deeply cut, usually twice; in the metazona, cristate 
anteriorly, sub-obsolete posteriorly. Apical third of tegmina irregularly 
reticulate. Wings widely reticulate, for the most part, broad, the 
posterior margin strongly arcuate, the outer margin not strongly but 
regularly lobate; — or, posterior less arcuate, outer margin slightly 
doubly lobulate. Hind femora compressed, rather short and broad.” — 
Saussure, translated by the writer. 
17. Circotettix vermculatus Kirby. — Vertex a long oval, making, as 
seen from tlnV side, almost a right angle with the face; foveolae triangu- 
lar; antennae short, flattened. Pronotum with two distinct sulci cutting 
the median carina in front of the middle, the first notch broad, the 
second narrow and oblique; front margin truncate, hind margin acute. 
Tegmina narrow, extending about one-third their length beyond the 
abdomen. Hind femora barely reach the tip of the abdomen. 
Color: — Gray, with many fuscous splotches. Face mainly gray. Pro- 
notmn black. Tegmina dark fuscous at base, lighter in the apical half, 
with email fuscous dots. Wings sulphureous at the base; a fuscous 
band begins near the anal angle and curves across to the middle of the 
outer margin, just within which a narrow dark ray goes towards the 
base of the wing; apex fuscous; between the apex and the dark band is 
a transparent area, with dark veins. Hind femora dark on the outer 
surface, with three gray or yellowish crossbars; tibiae have two light 
and two dark bands; tarsi light. 
Measurements: — Length of body, 23 mm.; tegmina, 26 mm.; hind 
femora, 12 mm.
