20. Orphulella meridionalis, sp. n. 



Very similar to 0. costaricensis in general appearance and build, but considerably smaller, and separable from 

 the other members of the genus by the characters mentioned in the synoptical table (supra, p. 77). The 

 tegmina of the present species, it may be added, are more membranous than in 0. costaricensis, and are 

 less apt to be furnished with the row of discal dark spots. The prevailing colour seems to be largely 

 green, as no dark specimens are at hand. 



Length of body, J 13, $ 18 ; of pronotum, tf 2-60, $ 3-5 ; of tegmina, 6 11, $ 13-5 ; of hind femora, 

 cJ 8, $ 10 millim.
