The specimen is much discolored. General coloration immac- 

 ulate, apparently pale green in life, except that the stridulating 

 area is suffused and the sutural margin very narrowly blackish 

 brown to its extremity. Occiput, genae, pronotum and femora 

 microscopically clotted with hydrangea red; these dots, however, 

 fewer and averaging larger than in P. luzonica, here described. 



Length of body 19.5, length of pronotum 5, caudal width of 

 pronotum 2.9, depth of pronotal lateral lobe 3.7, width of pro- 

 notal lateral lobe 4, length of tegmen 30, greatest width of tegmen 

 5.6, length of cephalic femur 5.9, length of caudal femur 19.3 mm. 



The type is unique. 



STICTOPHAULA new genus 



This genus is erected to include Phaneroptera trichopus Haan, 24 

 Phaula spinoso-laminata, Phaula chlorotica Brunner and the three 

 species described in the present paper. 



Genotype.- — Stictophaula bakeri new species. 



It is closely related to the genus Phaula, agreeing in all char- 

 acters of group or higher importance. It differs in the very strongly 

 declivent vertex, weaker tegminal venation, with veinlets fully as 

 multitudinous, but with veins of discoidal field and cross-veins 

 irregularly flexuous, sutural margin of male stridulating area 

 produced at stridulating vein, cephalic femora with internal audi- 

 tory foramen conchate, 25 simple male anal tergite, supra-anal plate 

 and cerci and ovipositor of female with margins entirely unarmed, 

 the dorsal valves weakly concave on their ventral margins distad, 

 into which fit the apices of the ventral valves. 



The tegminal surfaces are weakly convex and the character of 

 their venation gives to individuals of this genus a general facies, 

 contrasting with the species of Phaula much as does that of the 

 species of the North American genus Amblycorypha when compared 

 with the North American genus Phaneroptera. 26 



Stictophaula bakeri new species. Plate XIII, figures 10, 11 and 12. 



This insect is closely related to S. spinoso-laminata (Brunner). 

 The apparent features of difference are the minutely but thickly 

 pink-speckled pronotum, abdomen and median and caudal femora; 



24 Under this name chlorotica has been placed as a synonym by Dohrn. We do 

 not believe that this synonymy can be recognized until material from Java and 

 Singapore can be compared. 



25 Not flattened conchate as in the species of Phaula. 



?6 Caudell has recently fixed the genotype of Phaneroptera as curvicauda 

 (De Geer). As this is the first valid designation, Scudderia falls as a synonym 

 of Phaneroptera, while the Old World genus, previously recognized as Phaner- 

 optera, is renamed Anerota by Caudell (Jour. Washington Acad. Sci., XI, 

 p. 488, (1921).)
