SYNOPSIS An account is given of nymphal coloration and of the number and duration of nymphal instars, and the adult coloration is described. Observations on oviposition are recorded, and the correlation of egg‐pod production with female longevity is noted. The effect of temperature on the incubation period of the eggs is discussed.
