8 " BULLETIN OF THE 



legs more than one third as long as the tibi;e; hind femora with no genicular 

 spines. Female wingless ; tegmina of male with the venation of Musonia. 

 Abdomen slightly expanded before the apex, as in Brunneria ; supra-anal plate 

 lanceohite, nearly twice as long as basal breadth ; anal cerci moniliform, con- 

 siderably longer than the supra-anal plate, subcylindrical, subequal, only the 

 last joint tapering. 



This genus is closely allied to Musonia Stfd (= Thespis Sauss.), differing 

 from it mainly in the ultimate structure of the fore til)i;t', the great size and 

 length of the anal cerci, and the apical expansion of the abdomen. It appears 

 to fall between it and Brunneria.

Sordid clay yellow, feebly marked with black or blackish fuscous. Head

Butler mentions two larval specimens from Charles Island. It seems impos- 

 sible that he should have referred the Mantid I have described above to Vates, 

 and so 1 eonclude this is the one Orthopteron recorded from the Galapagos 

 whieli I have not seen.
