A new species of Orocharis (Gryllidae) from 



British Honduras. 

 BY JAMES A. G. REHN. 

 Orocharis latifrons n. sp. 



Type : 9 ; Benque Viejo, British Honduras. 1907. [Acad. 

 Nat. Sci. Phila.] 



Allied to O. gaumeri Saussure from Valladolid, Yucatan, 

 but differing in the broader rostrum, which is as broad as the 

 proximal antennal joint instead of half as broad, and in the 

 absence of solid black from the pronotum and angle of tegmina. 



Size rather large (for the genus); form quite elongate ; surface moder- 

 ately hirsute. Head with its dorsal length about two-thirds that of the 

 pronotum, occiput regularly declivent to the rostrum, slightly concave 

 transversely between the eyes; rostrum moderately protuberant, rounded 

 obtuse-angulate when seen from the side, the width of the rostrum about 

 as much as that of the proximal joint of the antennae ; ocelli 

 drominent, elongate-elliptical in shape, disposed in a slightly 

 arcuate line, the lateral ones each slightly larger than the 

 middle one and faintly constricted in the middle ; eyes mod- 

 erately prominent, more so cephalad that laterad, in shape 

 subpyriform ; antennae nearly twice the length of the body, 

 the proximal joint large, moderately depressed, slightly sin- 

 uate when seen from the side ; terminal palpal joint slightly 

 arcuate . obliquely truncate at the apex. Pronotum with 

 pronotum. the greatest caudal width about one and a half times the 

 length, the lateral margins converging cephalad ; cephalic 

 margin emarginato-truncate; caudal margin very slightly obtuse-angulate ; 

 the angle hardly apparent and the margin slightly sinuate laterad ; lateral 

 lobes if the pronotum slightly longer than deep, regularly arcuate ven- 

 trad. Tegmina a third longer than the body, distinctly exceeding the 

 tips of the caudal femora ; costal field quite broad, proximad and mesad, 

 much narrowed distad by the decided emargination of the costal margin, 

 mediastine vein with about fifteen rami. Wings caudate, extending be-
