BRAZILIAN ORTHOPTERA 
General color oil green, the head, pronotum, pleura, abdomen, tegmina, ex- 
posed portion of the wings and limbs to variable degrees, wax yellow to anihne 
yellow, but to what degree the yellow is natural and not due to drying or dis- 
coloration we cannot say. Eyes sudan brown. Antennae argus brown in the 
greater portion of their length. Ovipositor with the tip and distal portions of 
the margins argus brown.

In addition to the type and allotype we have before us two 
paratypic males, bearing the same data as the described specimens. 
The spines on the ventral margins of the caudal femora vary in 
number, on the external margin from four to six, and on the in- 
ternal margin from five to eight, one individual having four on 
one external and six on the other, while another specimen has five 
on one internal and seven on the other. In all the more impor- 
tant features the four specimens are cpiite constant. 
Ceraia madeirensis new species (Plate III, figs. 6 and 7.) 
While we have only the female sex of this species it shows 
sufficient separation, in the way of differential characters, to make 
its description necessary. It is apparenth^ nearest to C. punctu- 
lata and dentata Brunner, but from the former it differs in the 
rounded instead of trigonal metasternal lobes, in the ovipositor 
having but the distal extremity of the ventral margin crenulate 
and in its lesser size. From dentata the angulate mesosternal 
lobes will immediately separate madeirensis. 
We do not think the present form could be the female sex of 
C. surinamensis Brunner, known only from the male. The new 
species has some similarit}" to C. festae Giglio-Tos, described from 
Ecuador and of which we have both sexes, but differs in the form 
of the lateral lobes, proportions of the tegmina, relative size of
