bristles. Pronotum transverse, the width equal to one and one-half 

 times the length ; anterior and posterior margins truncate ; lateral lobes 

 with the lower section bent inwards ; surface of the pronotum with stout 

 bristles similar to those on the head. Tegmina not reaching to the apex 

 'of the subgenital plate ; apex truncate with the angles rounded ; dorsal 

 and lateral fields not sharply defined ; lateral field with four simple longi- 

 tudinally disposed veins ; dorsal field with the median and discoidal veins 

 parallel, rather obliquely disposed ; stridulatory vein short, transverse, 

 the anal node sending off two axillary veins, one of which follows the 

 general trend of the stridulatory vein and bifurcates ; post-axillary veins 

 two in number, subparallel, reaching to the apex of the tegmina ; ulnar 

 (diagonal) vein diagonal, but slightly sinuate, and fusing with the median 

 vein before the apex ; anal vein branching from the ulnar vein shortly 

 beyond the node and extending a distance not exceeding half the length of 

 the legmina. no distinct speculum being developed; one complete oblique 

 vein present, flanked on each side by an unattached and incomplete para- 

 llel vein, all of which are almost longitudinally disposed. Cerci elongate, 

 tapering, reaching to the apex of the posterior femora. Subgenital plate 

 moderately produced, scoop-like. Anterior and median femora moder- 

 ately stout ; anterior tibiae each without a visible tympanum. Posterior 

 femora strongly inflated, tapering ; tibia; slender, with three spines on 

 each upper margin, excluding the apical spines. 



9- Antennae almost twice as long as the body. Tegmina with the 

 veins regularly and longitudinally disposed, very simple in character and 

 undivided. Cerci exceeding the ovipositor in length. Ovipositor heavy, 

 strongly curved, the apex not dentate and with the superior margin 

 slightly excised. Subgenital plate channelled to receive the ovipositor, 

 but not scoop-like as in the male. 



General color pale wood brown, the tegmina yellowish brown, head 

 and pronotum longitudinally lined with yellowish, eyes dark brown.

APHONOGRYLLUS. 



In 1901 (Canad. Entom., XXXIII, p. 272), I proposed the 

 name Aphonogryllus to replace the name Aphonus Saussure, 

 which latter I found to be preoccupied by Aphonus Leconte. 

 Recently I discovered the fact that the name Aphonogryllus 

 luul been used before I proposed it to replace Saussure's name.
