Wings transparent, tinged with greenish-yellow at the base; nerves 
dusky; apex slightly fuliginous. The upper half of the disk of the 
posterior femora green, lower half yellowish or reddish; posterior tibiae 
pale at base, apical portion dusky; spines yellowish tipped with black. 
Alcohol changes the green and carneous to a pale dull yellow; other¬ 
wise the markings remain unchanged, except that they are somewhat 
faded. 
Male .—Head above, slightly ascending to the vertex, giving to the 
whole head an upward bend; front conical; face much sloped. Vertex 
without lateral foveolae; margins slightly raised, with two inclosed de¬ 
pressions separated by a slight median ridge, which runs forward to 
the fastigium. Frontal costa quite broad and flat, very slightly sul- 
cate below the ocellus, margins angled; lateral carinae distinct; the 
face is sloped backward toward the breast so much that the angle it 
forms with the upper surface is less than forty-five degrees. The pro- 
notum is short, scarcely exceeding the length of the head; sides com¬ 
pressed, nearly parallel, expanding very slightly posteriorly; tricar- 
inate; the carinae about equal, being simply raised lines, very nearly 
parallel, severed once by the minute posterior sulcus a little behind 
the middle; front margin sub-truncate; posterior margin sub-truncate, 
rounded; the lateral margins descending almost straight to the lower 
angle. Elytra and wings passing the abdomen slightly, narrow. The 
sub-anal plate is prolonged in the form of a short, blunt ovipositor. 
Antennae somewhat clavate, the club commencing with the twelfth or 
thirteenth joint. Eyes very oblique, elongate-ovate, pointed above. 
Color. —Yellowish-brown in stripes. Face yellowish, the corners of 
the mouth piceous. A narrow yellow stripe runs back from each eye 
to the pronotum, bordered on each side with light brown, the upper 
fading on the upper edge to yellowish; a pale brownish stripe along 
the middle of the occiput. Antennae pale at base; club black on one 
side and pale on the other. Carinae of the pronotum yellow, the in¬ 
ter-spaces of the disk brownish; the posterior lobe on the sides marked 
with black punctures and minute, angular, yellow raised lines; some 
yellow stripes on the sides. Elytra transparent, somewhat fuliginous, 
with a dusky spot or two on the disk near the base. 
Wings transparent and almost uniformly fuliginous, though not 
clouded. Posterior femora yellowish, with two or three oblique dusky 
bands on the upper portion of the exterior face; apex black. 
Posterior tibiae with knee black; a broad white ring just below the 
knee; rest dusky, but the upper (posterior) side shows minute abbre¬ 
viated alternate rings of black and white; the base of the spines 
white, tips black. Tarsi a dusky yellow. 
Dimensions.—f —Length, 1.3 inches; pronotum, 0.23 inch; elytra, 1 
inch; posterior femora, 0.86 inch; posterior tibiae, 0.77 inch. m — 
Length, 1 inch; elytra, 0.75 inch; posterior femora, 0.65 inch; pos¬ 
terior tibiae, 0.62 inch; pronotum, 0.13 inch. 
This fine species is found throughout the state, but is not very com¬ 
mon. I am not absolutely certain that the insect described as the 
male, is the male of this species, as I have not taken them in copulo , 
but after studying the species for some ten or twelve years feel justi¬ 
fied from facts observed in assuming that it is. I find the two in the 
same situations at the same time and nothing to answer for the male 
of the one and the female of the other, if these be not the two sexes 
of the same species.
