 body, second segment one-half the size of first; palpi long, slender, 

 fifth segment nearly twice as long as either third or fourth, which 

 are snbeqnal; lateral lobes of pronotnm longer than deep, their 

 lower margin broadly rounded, meso- and nietanotnm together 

 barely as long as but fully as deep as prouotum ; fore femora 

 armed on outer side of apex with a long movable spine; fore and 

 middle tibiae with one or two movable spines beneath ; hind femora 

 armed on lower inner margin with five or six short stont spines; 

 hind tibiae and tarsi as in key. Male with snbgenital plate short, 

 broad, apically truncate; styles absent; cerci long, slender, cylind- 

 rical, tapering to a point. Female with apex of snbgenital plate 

 triangularly notched; ovipositor about twice as long as pronotnm, 

 its apical half gently npcnrved with inner valves finely crenate 

 beneath and tips acuminate. Two introduced Asiatic species have 

 bteu taken in the greenhouses of this country, but one of which 

 has become established.

This is the species hitherto known in literature as 



i iiKinuoi'dta DeHaan (1843, 217). It was described by him 

 as Locust a iiKinnortitd and is therefore a primary homonym of 

 Locust a (8cirtcti<-<i) nninnornta Harris (1841, 14r>). A new 

 specific name is therefore necessary for DeHaan's insect. 



While this species is not known to have been taken in In- 

 diana, it doubtless occurs in some of the greenhouses of the State, 

 a Hart (Ms.) stated that it was common in those of Illinois and 

 a specimen is at hand from Ann Arbor, Mich. It is a Japanese
