A New Species of the Genus Nemobius from Cali- 

 fornia (Orthoptera ; Gryllidae ; Gryllinae). 

 By JAMES A. G. REIIN and MORGAN HEP.ARD, Philadelphia, Pa. 



Nemobius eurynotus 1 new species. 



The present remarkable species is readily separable from 

 any other of the genus found in the United States by its large 

 size, broad form, general coloration, sub-obsolete ocelli and ex- 

 tremely short ovipositor, which in proportionate brevity is only 

 equalled by that of A T . caroliuits brevicaudits Bruner. The un- 

 equal disto-ventral pair of caudal tibial spurs, however, show 

 the position of the species to be in the first section of the 

 North American forms of the genus and, though very widely 

 separated, it should be placed after N. pantcli Hebard. Addi- 

 tional material is, in our opinion, necessary to determine 

 whether the present insect should be placed in the same sub- 

 genus as that species, Brachynemobius, or should be assigned 

 to a distinct and yet undescribed subgenus.
