148 ORTHOPTEROUS GROUP INSARAE 



Synonymy. — It is perfectly evident that Brunner's Arethaea 

 multiramosa is an absolute synonym of Scudder's Aegipan phalan- 

 gium of a year earlier date. The two were described from the same 

 state, where but a single species of the group occurs, and the de- 

 scriptions are not separable. 



Remarks. — The present form is very close to the Texan A . gral- 

 lator, from which it can be separated by the characters given 

 above as diagnostic; in addition phalangium generally has the 

 ulnar vein reaching the sutural margin of the tegmina nearer the 

 apex than in grallator and the pronotum more compressed than in 

 the latter species. One of the characters used by Brunner, i.e., 

 number of rami to the discoidal vein is of no value as a diagnostic 

 feature, the series before us showing a variation from four to six, 

 moreover the extremes have been found in a single individual.

This species is closely related to but one of the other forms of the 

 genus, the preceding A. phalangium. The characters separating 

 the two are given in the diagnosis under phalangium. 



'8 The record from Arizona quoted by Brunner from Thomas refers to 

 true gracilipes.
