believe Acanthaprion P. and S. to be valid, though also placed 

 under Morsimus by Kirby. Chloracris P. and S. is a synonym of 

 Pseudophyllus Serville. Capnoptera Brunner is preoccupied and 

 Kirby has proposed the name Typhoptera for this genus. Phyl- 

 lotribonia P. and S. and Mataeus Karsch are synonyms of Zabalius 

 Bolivar. Finally Tarphe Stal is preoccupied by Tegra Walker, 

 Termer a Stal by Sanaa Walker and Phanerotus Brunner by Cal- 

 limenellus Walker.

 Pseudophyllus harrisoni Rehn.

Nias Island, southwest coast of Sumatra, Sunda Islands, 1 9 . 



This insect closely resembles the figure of Rhomboptera honor- 

 abilis (Brunner) 50 except that the transverse veins of the discoidal 

 field alternate at the ulnar and branch of the median veins, being 

 neither contiguous (percurrent) or subcontiguous. It appears 

 very possible that this character is of no generic value. Should 

 this prove to be the case, Rhomboptera would fall as a synonym of 

 Pseudophyllus. 



The present insect is further separable from R. honorabilis by 

 its decidedly larger size, longer limbs and much longer ovipositor. 

 The median tibiae are armed with very small spines; the figure of 

 honorabilis shows much heavier spines on these members. 



Length of body 57.5, 51 length of pronotum 13.6, length of tegmen 

 89.7, greatest width of tegmen 24.8, length of caudal femur 29.1, 

 length of ovipositor 35.7, greatest width of ovipositor 9 mm. 



Cleandrus fortis (Walker)

The dorsal surface of the caudal femora is described as having a 

 row of minute spines in fortis, as obsoletely undulate in obesus and 

 as smooth in latipennis. These differences we believe due to in- 



60 Monogr. der Pseudophylliden, pi. I, fig. 8, (1895). 



61 The body length of the type is 57 mm.; 88 mm. including the ovipositor.
