76 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



indeed to Pezotettix, but has some characters which ally it more closely 

 to Calliptenus proper, and not a few points of general resemblance to 

 Ommatolampis, although the structure of the tarsi is different. It is 

 remarkable for the form of the sternal surface of the thorax, the obso- 

 lescence of the prosternal spine, the unarmed edge of the last dorsal 

 abdominal segment of the $ and the great robustness of the body, 

 especially of the $ . 



Bradynotes, nov. gen. The head is stout, rather broader below than 

 above, the cheeks being full ; the space between the upper edge of the 

 mandibles and the lower border of the eye is equal to ( £ ) or rather less 

 than ( £ ) the height of the eye ; vertex between the eyes broad j front 

 well rounded, not oblique, the frontal costa prominent, rather broad and 

 sulcate ; antennae slender, equal, shorter than the hind femora. Thorax 

 very stout, the pronotum very short, not covering the whole of the meso- 

 notum, both front and hind borders straight, the posterior lobe only half 

 as long as the anterior and rugulose, while the anterior lobe is smooth ; 

 lateral lobes separated from the dorsum by distinct rugae ; prosternal spine 

 very much abbreviated, becoming in the $ a mere blunt tubercle, and in 

 the $ very short and conical ; mesostethium and metastethium together 

 fully as broad as long, the metasternal lobes distant in the $ /approximate 

 in the $. # Tegmina and wings altogether wanting. Hind femora small, 

 moderately stout, reaching the tip of the abdomen in the $ , but not in 

 the $ , the upper carina smooth ; spines of hind tibiae equal in both rows, 

 the lateral edges of the tibiae between them smooth and rounded ; first 

 hind tarsal joint perhaps a little longer than the last joint, but certainly 

 shorter than the second and third joints together. Terminal abdominal 

 joints of the abdomen of the °. short, making the tip blunt, as in the 

 series of Pezotettix represented by P. jucunda Scudd.; abdomen of male 

 upcurved apically, the last ventral segment being long ; hinder edge of the 

 last dorsal segment smooth and entire, unprovided with tubercles or pro- 

 longations as in Pezotettix and Melanoplus. 



The only species known to me is B. obesa (Fez. obesa Thorn.)
