vinaceous pink. The wings are vinaceous pink, each slender cross- 

 veinlet of that color, strongly bordered with mineral red. 



Length of body 30 and 36, length of pronotum 7.7 and 7.9, 

 length of tegmen 38.3 and 43, width of tegmen (larger specimen 

 alone spread) 15.8, length of cephalic femur 11 and 10.7, length of 

 caudal femur 19.4 and 19.8, length of ovipositor 21.7 and 22.8 mm. 

 Paragryllacris griffinii new species. Plate XXI, figure 11. 



In the male genitalia this species shows nearest agreement with 

 the Australian P. shelfordi Griffini. The subgenital plate, however, 

 differs widely in being shorter, entirely lacking lateral projections 

 and in having the apex minutely triangularly emarginate mesad 

 and obliquely truncate on each side. 



The head is pale, but with vertex apparently much as in shelfordi. 

 The transverse veinlets of the tegmina are slightly but appreciably 

 darker than the veins, particularly proximad. 



Type: d 1 ; Queensland, Australia. [Hebard Collection, Type 

 no. 851.] 



Size and form medium. Fastigium of vertex nearly one and 

 one-half times as broad as proximal antennal joint, surface cephalad 

 flattened and finely rugulose between the slender, elevated lateral 

 carinae. Face rather thickly but not deeply impresso-punctulate 

 and rugulose. Pronotum with cephalic margin of disk moderately 

 convex, cephalic sulcus broad but deep, caudal marginal portion 

 of disk slightly raised, with margin itself cingulate; lateral lobes 

 with ventro-cephalic and ventro-caudal angles rather sharply 

 rounded rectangular, ventral margin showing weak convexity. 

 Tegmina and wings fully developed, ample, extending well beyond 

 apex of abdomen. Tegmina with rounded apex slightly nearer 

 costal than sutural margin. Ultimate tergite suddenly obtuse- 

 angulate emarginate meso-caudad, on each side with a small 

 finger directed ventrad and curving inward, above which is a 

 minute node armed with a minute spine, curved meso-ventrad. 

 Within, on the surface of the impressed area there formed, are 

 plates armed ventrad with a spine, curved dorso-laterad, on each 

 side. Cerci moderately elongate and slender. Subgenital plate 

 with lateral margins straight, convergent to near apex, where they 

 are briefly parallel, the apex with a minute angulate emargination, 

 the lateral portions of the apex with distal margins straight, oblique 

 1 o the median emargination. Spines of cephalic and median femora 

 of the usual number, rather short. Caudal femora with ventral 

 margins armed with (five and six) internal and (four and four) 

 cxlernal, small spines. 



General coloration cinnamon buff, deepening to tawny on face, 

 clypeus, labrum, mandibles, cephalic tibiae, tarsi and briefly distad 

 on all the femora. Tegmina and wings nearly clear hyaline, veins
