3. CHLOEALTIS VIRIDIS. Scudd. 
Vertex broad, slightly expanding in front of the eyes, beyond which 
the sides converge so as to form a right angle, rounded at the apex; 
the edge more or less upturned, so as to form a lunar or semicircular , 
depression behind it; frontal costa scarcely sulcate above the ocellus 
in the female, sub-sulcate in the male. Pronotum with the sides com¬ 
pressed, vertical, paralle 1 ; the three carinae distinct, equal, parallel; 
the transverse impressions indistinct, the posterior much behind the 
middle. Elytra ovate-lanceolate, about half as long as the abdomen 
in the female, three-fourths its length in the male. Sub-anal plate of 
the male turned up, somewhat pointed, entire at the tip. Posterior 
femora in the female about as long as the abdomen. 
Color .—Of the male; whole of the upper surface green; sides a dirty 
brown, sometimes with a black streak extending back from the eye. 
Front of the head yellowish-brown or yellow. Front and middle legs 
greenish, tinged with reddish-brown; posterior femora greenish-yellow; 
tibiae fuscous, spines tipped with black. Female varies in color from 
almost entirely pale-green to dark-brown, with a dark stripe running 
back from each eye along the upper margin of the sides of the pro¬ 
notum; disk of the elytra marked with two or three fuscous dots; 
hind tibiae reddish-brown. 
Dimensions. — f. Length, i inch; pronotum, 0.21 inch; hind femora, 
0.6 inch; elytra, 0.42 inch. m. —Length, 0.6 inch; pronotum, 0.14 
inch; hind femora, 0.4 inch; elytra, 0.3 inch. 
This and the following species are placed in the genus Chrysochraon 
in my “Synopsis of the Acrididae.” Found throughout the State, and, 
although not abundant, is qu :e common. 
4. CHLOEALTIS CONSPERSA. Harr. 
Vertex broad, expanded to a blunt point on each side in front of 
the eyes, from which the sides converge so as to form little less than 
a right angle, blunt at the tip; edges a little upturned; a very slight 
median carina; frontal costa with a shallow sulcus two-thirds its 
length. Eyes not large or prominent, slightly elongated. Antennae 
slender, slightly flattened, reaching to the middle of the elytra in the 
male. Pronotum with the sides nearly straight, or slightly converging 
in the middle; median carina sharp, rather more distinct than the 
lateral; front and posterior margins straight. Elytra in the male, 
reaching nearly to the tip of the abdomen, obovate-lanceolate, sud¬ 
denly swollen on the costal border about two-thirds of the way from 
the apex to the base, internal border full and curved evenly from the . 
base to the tip; in the female the elytra reach about the middle of 
the abdomen.
