the same line and form two curves ; these two curves are rather heavily 

 edged with black on the inner side. In the cell are three roughly quad- 

 rate spots edged with black, the inner one partly divided by a black 

 line parallel to the costa. The secondaries are marked in the same gen- 

 eral way by four lines of spots ; the first consisting of seven very narrow ; 

 the next of three somewhat lunate ; the next of six, the lower three gem- 

 inate ; the next of seven, the first very small and geminate, the fourth 

 spot with a black dot on it, the next two spots small and the last a mere 

 point. The basal half is black with a fulvous dot in the cell. Underside. 

 Primaries. There is a narrow fulvous line next to the exterior margin, 

 bordered on both sides by narrow black lines ; next to this a row of 

 lunate spots edged with black, the five upper ones washed with yellow. 

 On the outer third of the costa is an irregular black mark extending into 

 the wing about one-eighth of an inch. Just beyond the middle, extend- 

 ing into the wing from the costa, is a black curved line, made up of four 

 spots. The bulk of the remainder of the wing is fulvous, divided by the 

 black neuration. There are also a few irregular small black markings 

 and lines. Secondaries. These are crossed by a series of spotted lines, 

 parallel to the exterior margin as follows : The first of seven, narrow, 

 fulvous spots ; the second light yellow and larger of seven ; the third of 

 seven with the first two light yellow and the remainder fulvous ; the fourth 

 row, of eight spots, all yellow ; the first four large and remainder small ; 

 the fifth row of seven, all yellow ; there is a yellow spot in the cell and 

 three near the base. All these spots are edged with black. The fringes 

 of all wings, above and below, are alternately black and white. Expanse 

 of wings 41 mm.

Notes on the Orthopteran genus Leprus. 



BY T. D. A. COCKERELL.

 ago, finding that it did not seem to agree with the description 

 and figure of Leprus ivheelcri (Thomas), I proposed to call it 

 L. cvanciis. This name, however, was not published, because 

 Messrs. Scudcler and Bruner were both of the opinion that the 

 insect was the genuine L. wheeler i. The peculiar color of the
