tinctly marked, and the lateral face nearly uniform greenish or 
with faint darker markings. The tegmina vary much in the 
contrast of their colors, one extreme having their base color with 
a narrow humeral line of pale ochraceous, the other extreme being 
pale with a few scattered circular spots of dark color. The solid 
color of the dorsal field of the tegmina breaks up before the black 
of the lateral field weakens. The dark extreme of tegminal 
coloration is more pronounced in the specimens in the green 
phase, but some of the individuals in the same jihase have the 
contrasts of the tegmina no stronger than in the brown phase 
specimens. 
The only other Brazilian record is of a specimen from iMinas 
Geraes, which is in the green phase.

This African species, which has also been taken in Portugal, 
was recorded from Rio de Janeiro by Brunner.*® The present 
specimens are inseparable from a pair from Kwidschwi Island, 
Lake Kivu, Central Africa, and agree in every particular with 
the description of the species. As suggested by Brunner, the 
species certainly found its way to America in shipping, probably 
through the medium of slave ships, which made very frequent 
voyages from West Africa to Brazil. The African cricket 
Scapsipedus limbatus was, in every probability, similarly intro- 
duced into the West Indies.**
