Tettigonia redacta, Fowl. Bio. Horaop. II, p. 2^6, pi. 18, fig. 21, 1900. 
Resembling coccinea but smaller, reddish or yellowish, 
with definite lines on vertex and scutellum. Length, 5-6 
mm.; width, 1.25mm. 
Vertex flat, except for posterior margin between the ocelli, nearly 
right angled the apex blunt, the lateral margins very slightly 
rounding, four-tifths the length of the pronotum. Face feebly con- 
vex, acutely angled with vertex. Elytra moderately long, venation 
as in coccinea, the outer anteapical cell sometimes broken up or 
wanting. 
Color; vertex pale yellow, a black stripe just over the margin on 
front, a pair of slender, approximate, median lines which are joined 
anteriorly to a pair of broken lines just inside and almost parallel 
with the margins and running back inside the eyes, interrupted by 
the black sutures which inclose the ocelli. The space between these 
lines almost white. Pronotum, pale yellow in front, green behind. 
Scutellum yellow, three longitudinal stripes in front of the trans- 
verse suture and two behind; sometimes a pair of dots inside the 
basal angles. E ytra geen, the claval suture with a blue stripe, 
either side of which is a broader red one, the inner pair of stripes 
sometimes extending forward across the pronotum and converging 
on the vertex, apical margin and posterior third of costa pale, with 
numerous triangular spots. Face and below, pale yellow. 
Genitalia; female segment nearly twice as long as the penulti- 
mate, the disc longitudinally elevated, posterior margin obtusely, 
angularly produced, the sides a little concave; male plates a little 
longer than the ultimate segment, concavely acuminate, their black 
tipped apices curving up around the pygofers, side margins with 
fine hairs. 
Specimens of this form are at hand from the District of 
•Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, 
Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama,

Form and size of variety versuta nearly. Vertex slightly shorter, 
blunter. Color green, vertex yellow, the marginal band reduced to 
three spots, one on apex and one against either eye. The stripe on

behind, extending back to the oscelli. Scutellum orange yellow.
