This record connects the original localities with nine recent records 

 by the original author from Danakil and Abyssinia. 



Tarachodes aestuans Saussure. 



1895. T[arachodes] ccstuans Saussure, Ann. Mus. Civ. Stor. Nat., Genova, 



XXXV, p. 91. [Laffarugh, Ogaden, Somaliland.] 

 1901. Tarachodes smithi Rehn [ 9 not (J 1 ], Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 



1901, p. 278. [Tug Berka, Somaliland.] 



After re-examination and comparison with representatives of a 

 number of species of this genus, the immature female formerly placed 

 under T. smithi has been found to be distinct from the male, and as 

 far as possible to determine in its condition should be referred to 

 Saussure's species. 



Tarachodes smithi Rehn. 



1901. Tarachodes smithi Rehn [c? not $ ], Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 



1901, p. 278. [Tug Terfa, Somaliland.] 

 1907. Tarachodes taramassi Giglio-Tos. Bollett. Mus. Zool. ed Anat. 



Comp., Torino, XXII, nr. 563, p. 5. [Mogadisciu, Somaliland.] 



This species is found on re-examination to be quite distinct from 

 any of the older forms, its closest relationship doubtless being with 

 T. media Schulthess, while its general slender form and non- rugose 

 integument strongly suggests species of Galepsus, but the shape and 

 proportions of the head are essentially those of Tarachodes. 



The description of Iaramassi agrees fully with the male type of 

 smithi. 



GALEPSUS Stal. 



Galepsus capitatus (Saussure). 



1871. Ch[iropacha] capitata Saussure, Melanges Orthopterologiques, III, p. 

 166, PI. 4, fig. 2. [Africa.] 



Kikuyu Escarpment, British East Africa. One male. 

 This species has been recorded from a number of localities extending 

 from Delagoa Bay to Abyssinia and from Zanzibar to the Congo. 



Galepsus meridionalis form montanus Werner. 



1907. G[alepsus] meridionalis var. montana Werner, Sitzungsb. K. Akad. 

 Wissensch., Wien, Math.-natur. Kl.,CXVI,Heft II, Abt. I, p. 220. [Between 

 Taveta and Meru;] Kilimanjaro.] 



Mombasa, British East Africa. Five males. [Hebard Collection.] 

 These specimens agree very well with the brief original description 

 of this form, which is apparently a geographic race. The measure- 

 ments of the pronotum show extremes of 5.8 x 2.5 mm. and 6.5 x 3, 

 while the tegmina are uniformly slightly longer than the original 

 measurement, ranging from IS to 18.5 mm., against the original 15.4.
