FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



(8) Leptogryllns simillinms, sp. nov. 



L. forfindari simillimus, tibiis posticis minus spinosis distinguendus. ^ %. 



Very closely allied to L. forficularis, but generally if not always with the body 

 darker in colour. The spines on the tibiae are evidently less close and do not extend 

 nearly so far back towards their base. I have examined a series of specimens. The ^ 

 is often slightly shorter and less robust than the $. 



Long, corporis (haud contract!) % 14 mm.; pronoti 3'25 mm., femorum post. 

 6-5 mm., ovipositoris 5 mm. (Plate I. fig. 19 ; Plate II. figs. 15, 15a, & \'^b) 



Hab. Haleakala, Maui (4000 — ^5000 ft.).
