Chlorotettix galbanatus Van Duzee, 1892 (Fig. 1F)

Material. USA, 1 ♀, Illinois, Hardin Co., Camp Cadiz, 14 VI 1996 (Ch. Dietrich) ; 1 ♁, 2 ♀, Illinois, Calumet , 41°41'48" N, 87°34'22" W, 3 IX 2003 (Dmitriev) .

Description. Coloration yellowish green without color pattern. Body length 5.2– 5.9 mm; head width 1.4 mm.

Notes. An unidentified nymph of Chlorotettix from Argentina has two brown broad longitudinal stripes with washed out lateral margins; macrochaetae on abdomen and legs dark, with dark setal areolae. Th e nymph of Ch. meriscus Cwikla was illustrat- ed by Cwikla (1988). Th e tribal placement of the genus Chlorotettix requires further investigation. The nymphs of this genus have a long pygofer, which is not characteristic for the tribe Athysanini . Chlorotettix shares some characters with the new tribe Pendarini (long pygofer), although the former has the crown-face transition rounded, longer abdominal macrochaetae and different color pattern.
