treniities black in the posterior pair. Tibise the same, washed above with a dull 

 purplish brown. Tarsi blackish.

Posterior femora . 19 " 



Posterior tibia 22.5 " 



Antennae (approximate) 50 " 



While working upon the above described species of Caj))iobotes, 

 I had occasion to examine the name Orchedicus Saussure, 1859, 

 wiiich I have found to be preoccupied by Orchesticus Cabanis, 1851, 

 in Ornithology. Accordingly, I propose the name Stipator (i. e. a 

 guard), which will cause the species to stand as follows: 



Stipator americanus Saussure. 



Stipator haldemanii Girard. 



Stipator minutus Thomas. 



Stipator stevensoni Thomas. 



Stipator cragini Bruner. 



Stipator scudderi Bruner. 



Family ACRIDID.E. 

 Kyrbiila eslavae n. sp. 



Type ; one male, Eslava, D. F., x. 



Very distinct from any described species of the genus, agreeing 

 somewhat with montezuma Saussure, though well removed from that 

 form. The color pattern is at once striking and distinctive. 



Size small. Head well produced, longer than the posterior breadth, consider- 

 ably elevated above the level of the pronotum ; fastigium developed, equal to 

 the width between the eyes, the anterior angle narrowly rounded ; lateral and 

 median carinse moderately develojied, the latter extending back not quite one- 

 half the length of the head ; scutelluni not excavated ; facial angle moderately 

 oblique. Frontal costa rather broad, sulcate from between the antenna' to the^ 

 clypeus, rather coarsely punctate; facial carinte all prominent and extending to 

 the clypeus, the median j)air nearly parallel, slightly constricted at the ocellus, 

 moderately diverging inferiorly. Eyes moderately developed, about one and a 

 half times as long as the infra-ocular groove. Antennae slightly longer than the 

 head and pronotum, basally depressed, tip acuminate. Pronotum with all the 

 carinse well marked, the lateral ones constricted much before the middle, diver- 

 gent both anteriorly and posteriorly, on the metazona the angle of divergence 

 being much reduced posteriorly: the transverse sulcus intersecting near the mid- 

 dle. Anterior border of the pronotum almost straight, posterior one broadly 

 rounded, slightly augulate. Lateral lobes of the prouotum finely punctate on 

 the metazona, the anterior border, and coarsely on the inferior median section.
