Some CSCA specimen labels indicate range grass.  Seasonal occurrence.Midsummer through fall, from July ( 19-VII-1934, EC VanDyke, CAS) to October ( 17- X-1995, Spadoni, CSCA). Nymphs from May through July.  Stridulatory file.(n = 4) length 3.4–3.9 mm, 114–125 teeth, tooth density 33.7 ± 3.0 (31.0–36.8) teeth/mm.   FIGURE 14.  N. longipluteamale and female habitus, calling song, male and female terminalia, karyotype.  Song.(n = 4).  PTR 2.7± 0.3 s-1,  PTF 14.4± 2.7 kHz, indistinguishable from topotype  N. convexa.  Karyotype.(n = 4) 2n♁ = 26 ( 2m+ 22t+ XtYt). T14-25, S14-65, paratopotype.  Recognition.Male genitalia unique: the lateral process is as long or longer than the short, thick shaft. Female subgenital plate longer than wide and has a bifurcate apex. The subgenital plate of  N. convexahas similar proportions but the apex is usually entire, rarely bifurcate.   Etymology. l. longilong + pluteabarrier, screen, low wall, parapet. Descriptive of the long lateral process of the male ventral sclerite.  Notes.This species replaces  N. convexato the west. Populations may be large and widespread, judging from an 80 kmacoustic transect through Humboldt and Trinity Counties, California(JAC and DBW, pers. obs.) and from the number of nymphs in museum collections. The song is identical to that of  N. convexa. Color patterns are variable and beautifully match the complex background of the forests of the Trinity Alps.   Material examined.DETERMINED (n = 63): All USA, CA, Humboldt Co., 1♀adult,  1♀nymph, Bullrun Flat, Garberville, 40.100145N, 123.795029W,  27-VII-1934, EC VanDyke, CAS; 3♁,  1♀, Hoopa, 41.050408N, 123.674224W,  524 m,  19-VIII-1959, Tabor, Graham, Gallian, CSCA; 1♁, Humboldt County State Park, 40.70501N, 123.91582W,  6-VIII-1957, J Keefe, CSCA; 1♁ nymph, Johnsons Bar, 41.350401N, 123.872012W,  16-VII-1964, D Ramsey, CSCA; 1♁, Miranda, 40.234586N, 123.823646W,  19-VII-1934, EP VanDuzee, CAS;  1♀, Orick, 41.28679N, 124.059794W,  10 m,  17-X-1995, Spadoni, CSCA;  1♀nymph, same data except  4-VII-1931, EC VanDyke, CAS; 1♁,  2♀nymphs, Weott, 40.321897N, 123.921706W,  12-VII-1929, EC VanDyke, CAS; 1♁,  2♀nymphs, same data except  13-VII-1929, EC VanDyke, CAS; 4♁,  4♀nymphs, same data except  15-VII-1929, EC VanDyke, CAS; Tehama Co.,  1♀, N Yollabolly, 40.17556N, 122.98W,  27-IX-1964, D Sale, CSCA;   Trinity Co.,in addition to typematerial (above), 1♁,  1♀nymphs, Burnt Ranch, 40.809027N, 123.474208W,  449 m,  1-VI-1964, G Harmon, CSCA; 1♁ nymph, Carrville, 41.064868N, 122.70419W,  18-V-1934, EC VanDyke, CAS; 1♁ nymph, same data except  25-VI-1931, EC VanDyke, CAS; 1♁,  1♀nymphs, same data except  26-VI-1913, EC VanDyke, CAS;  2♀nymphs, Carrville, same data except  27-V-1934, EC VanDyke, CAS;  1♀nymph, Coffee Creek,  23-VI-1931, EC VanDyke, CAS;  1♀, East Weaver Lake, 40.81389N, 122.98556W,  25-IX-1964, FL Blank, GM Buxton, CSCA; 1♁,  8♀, Grizzly Lake, 41.010046N, 123.049925W,  2166 m,  10-15-IX-1964, Buxton, Gurney, Forbes, Kamp, Thompson, CSCA;  3♀, Grizzly Meadows, 41.017084N, 123.05198W,  10-15-IX-1964, Buxton, Gurney, Forbes, Kamp, Thompson, CSCA;  1♀, Hyampom, 40.617364N, 123.452536W,  392 m,  27-VII-1962, J Reed, CSCA;  1♀, same data except CAS; 1♁,  4♀, Lamb Gap, South Fork Mountain, 40.507087N, 123.497257W,  19-IX-1962, FL Blanc, CSCA;  1♀, Ruth, 40.269591N, 123.321414W,  829 m, CSCA; 1♁,  1♀, Sids Place Hwy36, 40.419033N, 123.456698W,  1109 m,  19-IX-1962, FL Blanc, CSCA; 1♁,  4♀, Weaver Bally, 40.815976N, 122.99364W,  2129 m,  9-VIII-1964, Buxton, Gurney, Forbes, Kamp, Thompson, CSCA; QUESTIONABLE PLACEMENT(n = 2): Humboldt Co.,  1♀, Mad River Mountains, 40.925112N, 124.115737W,  19-VII-1934, EC VanDyke, CAS;  1♀, same data except no date, EC VanDyke, CAS. 3025458773 1960-08-15 CA Philippines Trinity Co.
