PANTELIA Bolivar. 



1887. Pantelia Bolivar, Ann. Soc. Entom. Belg., XXXI, pp. 192, 214. 



Type. — P. cristulata Bolivar ( = Cladonotus horrendus Walker) .- 



Pantelia armata Bolivar. 



1893. Pantelia armata Bolivar, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, LXII, p. 176. [Assini, 

 Ivory Coast.] 



Mount Coffee, Liberia. April, 1897. (R. P. Currie). [U. S. N. M.] 

 Three females. 



These individuals seem to agree very well with Bolivar's description 

 except that they are somewhat larger. Two of the three specimens 

 have the caudal process of the pronotum produced, the remaining indi- 

 vidual having the caudal femora hardly exceeded by the pronotum. 

 These two individuals possess well-developed wings, which extend 

 beyond the process of the pronotum. 



The genus Pantelia includes three species: P. horrendus (Walker') 

 (P. cristulata Bolivar), from Sierra Leone and the Ivory Coast; P. 

 armata Bolivar from Liberia and the Ivory Coast, and P. uncinata 

 Bolivar^ from Caconda, Angola. 



Section Scelimenae. 

 SCELIMENA ServiUe. 

 1839. Scelimena Serville, Orthopteres, p. 762. 

 Included Tetrix producta, harpago and uncinata Serville, of which the 

 first may be selected as the type. 



Scelimena abbotti n. sp. 



Type: 9 ; Khow Sai Dow, Trong, Lower Siam; 1,000 feet. Janu- 

 ary-February, 1899. (Dr. W. L. Abbott.) [U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 

 8112.] 



Closely allied to S. producta,^ but differing in the smaller size, the 

 narrower vertex, the slightly more compressed form, the uncurved 

 character of the spines on the lateral angles of the pronotum, and in 

 the absence of protuberances on the ventral carinse of the posterior 

 femora. 



Size medium; form elongate; surface minutely scabrous. Head 

 with the vertex very distinctly narrower than one of the eyes, sub- 

 truncate, declivent and rounded cephalad, median carina low but dis- 

 tinct; frontal costa forked between the ocelli; rami little divergent,
