298 . ORTHOPTERA. 



supra late planee, utrinque spinis 5 latis ac brevibus, inter illasque dentibus minutis serratiformibus 

 hebetatis 4-6, instruct. Calcaria brevia, superiori-interno longiore. Lamina supra-analis S brevis, 

 transversa, apice truncata, suleo profundo divisa. Cerci cylindrici, apice attenuati ; artioulis densissimis, 

 ultimis 2 gracilibus ; penultimo brevissimo, ultimo elongate Lamina infra- genitalis magna, suborbicu- 

 laris, apice truncata, stylos 2 cylindricos hebetatos gerens. 



Phoberopus belongs to the same group as the African genus Onosandrus, if we follow 

 the method of Brunner von Wattenwyl ; but it forms a section characterized by its 

 posterior metatarsi being completely flattened and membranaceous beneath (sulcated 

 in dried specimens), with their inferior face remarkably wide, and occupied in their 

 entire length by a single pulvillus, instead of by two pul villi as in the allied genera.

tf . Fusco-piceus, subtus testaceo-piceus, superne linea fulva percurrente. Tibiae anticse supra inermes ; inter- 

 medin supra spinulis 2:1. Femora postica superne, basi excepto, et in marginibus inferis, confertim 

 granulosa ; eorum area media in utraque facie lineas transversas remotas granulatasque obferens ; tertia 

 parte apicali granulata. Facies infera lata, sulcis 2 longitudinalibus subtiliter exarata ; vittara inter illos 

 subtiliter transverse strigosam praebens. Margo internus crenulatus, apice obsolete 1-3-dentatus ; margo 

 externus granulatus, ultra medium spinam corniformem maximam, ac ante apicem lobum bidentem gerens 

 (necnon interdum inter spinam et lobum, dentibus minutis 4 armatus). Tibiae posticae arcuatae, facie 

 supera quam facies lateralis sequilata, coriacea, marginibus hebetatis, omnino serrulatis, ac utrinque 

 spinis brevibus crassis 5, armatis ; subtus valde granosae, apice punctatae. Lamina supra-analis fusca, 

 trapezina, incisa, fissa, extus sinuata. Cerci ultra medium incurvi, in spinam excurrentes, intus 

 trigonali-dilatati. Lamina infra-genitalis rotundata, convexa, truncata, subsinuata ; stylis sat minutis, 

 cylindricis instructa.
