DEC. 4, 1921 caudell: the phaneropterae 489 



Phaneroptera annulata Brunn. has been made the type of the 

 genus Xenodoxus of Carl, described in 1914, thus eliminating it 

 from other generic assignment. 



Inscudderia, genus nov. 



This is a member of the group Phaneropterae (= Scudderiae), but 

 tends towards the Insarae, standing between the genera Phaneroptera 

 (= Scudderia) and Insara, hence the generic name Inscudderia. 

 Superficially it resembles Insara, especially I. elegans, but structurally 

 it seems more like Phaneroptera, though in this respect also it tends 

 towards the Insarae, especially in the narrow tegmina with their 

 slightly concave caudal margins, two or more branched radial sectors 

 and variegated color, and the longer and more slender legs. The 

 greatly prolonged and non-style bearing subgenital plate of the male, 

 the fastigium of the vertex failing to meet that of the face, the slightly 

 spinose genicular lobes and the non-sellate pronotum exclude it from 

 the Insarae. In the group Phaneropterae (= Scudderiae) this genus 

 runs out in Brunner's keys, Monogr. Phaneropt., to Scudderia on 

 page 16 except that the fore and middle femora are slightly toothed 

 ventrally, which is also often true of the anterior femora of Scudderia, 

 or Phaneroptera, as we have above shown this American genus must 

 now be called. But there are various characters for the ready sepa- 

 ration of this new genus from that older one, the more prominent ones 

 being the twice or more branched radial sector, the more slender and 

 posteriorly slightly concave tegmina, the comparatively longer and 

 more slender legs, the more rounded lateral carinae of the pronotum 

 with the posteriorly flattened disk of the same, the ventrally subspinose 

 intermediate femora and the more decidely armed ventral margins 

 of the posterior femora. 



Description. — (o^, the ? unknown). Head with the fastigium of the 

 vertex very narrow, not exceeding a fourth the width of the basal 

 segment of the antenna, subhorizontal and failing to meet the frontal 

 fastigium, the presenting face rounded; eyes almost round, prominent. 

 Pronotum rounding into the lateral lobes without distinct lateral 

 carinae except in the posterior fourth, where the disk, which is other- 

 wise gently convex, is wholly and conspicuously flattened, and there 

 the lateral carinae are sharp and distinct; lateral lobes about equally 

 high as long, the humeral notch deep. 



'Organs of flight fully developed ; wings hyaline with the tips, which 

 project beyond the closed tegmina a distance approximately equal
