MEXICAN ORTHOPTERA. 



]«OTES ON MEXICAN OKTHOPTERA, 

 WITH DE$>iCKIFTIO]VS OF x\EW SPECIES. 



BY JAMES A. G. REHN. 



The following notes are the results of the study of a collection of 

 Mexican Orthoptera collected by Mr. Otis W. Barrett, of Tacubaya, 

 Mexico. All the material was collected rather recently, and repre 

 seuted localities in the states of Guerrero, Vera Cruz, Morelos, 

 Tamaulipas and the Federal District of Mexico (D. F.). Material 

 for comparison is rather scarce, and all the forms described as new 

 show differences which markedly distinguish them from the descrip- 

 tions or plates of their nearest allies. The number of specimens is 

 one hundred, of about thirty-nine species. The types are in the 

 private collection of the writer. 



Mr. August Busck, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, 

 rendered the writer assistance on several occasions, for which I 

 desire to express my earnest thanks.
