ORTHOPTERA ii 



Long, corporis 20 mm. ; fastigii vert, i -5 mm. ; pronoti 6 mm. ; tegminum 1 1 mm. ; 

 femorum post. 12 mm. ; ovipositoris io'5 mm. (Plate I. fig. 4.) 



Hab. Mountains near Honolulu, Oahu. A single ? taken in 1S96, amongst 

 B. blackburni and B. discolor. It is a very distinct species, and the tegmina with 

 their somewhat sharp apices with the margins narrowly reddish, are unlike any other 

 species. 



(6) Brachymetopa affinis, sp. nov. 



Viridis. Mandibulae ad apices nigrae. Frons tota pallida. Tegmina sublonga, 

 capite cum pronoto evidenter longiora. Tibiae posticae interne spinulis perpaucis 

 armatae. $. 



Long, corporis 22 mm. ; fastigii vert. 2 mm. ; pronoti 6 mm. ; tegminum i r5 mm. ; 

 femorum post. 1 3 mm. ; ovipositoris 1 1 mm. 



Hab. Mountains of Kauai, 3000 ft. One ? taken in June 1894. This individual 

 was referred by Brunner to his B. deplanata, a species peculiar to Lanai. From an 

 examination of the much larger material obtained during my second visit, I feel sure 

 that no species of the genus is found on more than one island of the group. The 

 present species is most closely allied to B. blackburni, but the absence of the distinct 

 black transverse marks on the face at the base of the mandibles, and the less spinose 

 posterior tibiae will easily distinguish it. The latter on their outer margin have only 

 four spines. 



(7) Brachymetopa parviila, sp. nov. 



Laete viridis, subnitida. Mandibularum pars apicalis plus minusve nigra. Frons 

 tota pallida. Tegmina capite cum pronoto baud longiora. Tibiae posticae externe 

 spinulis nullis armatae. Unci cercorum $ superiores validi, fortiter erecti. Ovipositor 

 $ perlongus, femore postico longior. $^. 



Long, corporis $ 18, ? 19 mm.; fastigii vert. ^ i, ? i mm.; pronoti ,? 5, ? 5"5 mm.; 

 tegminum $ 7'5, ? 8 mm.; femorum post. $ 9*5, $ 11 mm.; ovipositoris 12-5 mm. 

 (Plate L fig. 6.) 



Brachymetopa parvula, var. brunnea, var. nov. Corpus totum pallide brunneum. 

 (Plate L fig. 6a.) 



Hab. Mountains of West Maui above Lahaina (3000 ft.). One $ and several ? 

 taken ; var. brunnea a single pair taken off the same branch of a tree in the same 

 locality. This is on the whole the smallest species of the genus. The male characters 

 are quite distinct from those of any other species, the upper of the two processes of 

 the modified cercus rises erect, and is both long and stout ; the lower one is much 

 bent and directed backwards. In the % the ovipositor is of unusual length for the 

 size of the species.
