I'eaching to the apical margin of the eighth dorsal segment, apex rotim- 

 clato-truncate. Anterior femora equal to the head, pronotum and 

 mesonotum in length, moderately compressed, basal flexure distinct; 

 tibiae slightly shorter than the femora ; metatarsi about three times the 

 length of the remaining tarsal joints. Median femora almost equal to 

 the pronotum and mesonotum in length; tibiae slightly exceeding the 

 femora in length; metatarsi not quite twice the length of the remain- 

 ing tarsal joints. Posterior femora exceeding the four basal segments 

 of the abdomen in length, somewhat bowed; tibise shghtly longer than 

 the femora; metatarsi twice as long as the remaining tarsal joints. 



General color dull ochraceous-bro"wn, deeper in the male than in the 

 female and also exhibiting some trace of greenish. Head with a post- 

 ocular streak of blackish-brown more or less evident. 



Measurements. 



Total length, 51 mm. 54 mm. 



Length of pronotum, 2 " 2.2 



Length of mesonotum, 12 " 13 



Length of metanotum (including median seg- 

 ment), 9.5 '' 9 



Length of median segment, 1.2 " 1.5 



Length of abdomen, 25.5 " 26.2 



Length of anterior femora, 21.7 '' 17 



Length of anterior tibige, 22.7 " 16.5 



Length of median femora, 14.5 " 12.2 



Length of posterior femora, 18 " 14.2 



Another Trong specimen, a female, I have provisionally referred to 

 this species. However, it exhibits several discordant characters, as 

 the antennse beyond the second joint are slenderer, the terminal seg- 

 ments of the abdomen are supplied with longitudinal rugse, and the 

 size is greater. 



Genus GRATIDIA Stll. 

 1875. Grntidia Stal, Recensio Orthopterorum, III, pp. 14, 70. 



Type. — Graiidia sansibara Stal. 



As the material studied in this connection was quite limited, no 

 attempt has been made to determine the propriety of uniting Clonaria 

 with Gratidia, as Karsch has proposed to do in his paper on this genus.^^ 

 The relegating of Paraclonaria to the synonymy seems unwarranted, 

 in spite of the arguments Karsch advances in defense of his action. 

 The structural characters of Paraclonaria are of sufficient importance
