AET. 3 ORTITOPTEROID INSECTS FROM JAVA CAUDELT^ 41 



pronotum uniformly black both on the disk and lateral lobes; teg- 

 mina black with the anal margins rather broadly margined with 

 yellow.

1 mm.; tegmina, 3.5 mm.; posterior femora, 5 mm.; ovipositor, 



2 mm. 



Type, female, Pelaboean Ratoe, Java, without date.

It is probable that one or both of the above described forms are 

 but color phases of other species. 



CYRTOXIPHA LATERALIS Walker 



Eneoptera lateralis Walker, Cat. Derm. Salt. Brit. Mus., vol. 5 suppl., 1871, p. 11 



One male, Pelaboean Ratoe. 



This specimen agrees very well with Walker's description. The 

 infuscation of the pronotal disk is gathered rather roughly into an 

 apical, an intermediate and a posterior transverse band. Walker 

 describes this species from Bombay, but in Kirby's catalogue the 

 locality is listed as Ceylon. 



CYRTOXIPHA RITSEMAE Sanssure 



Cyrtoxiphus ritsemae Saussure, Mem. Soc. Geneve, vol. 25, 1878, p. 478, pi. 17, 

 fig. xlix-3; pi. 19, fig. lxxix-3. 



One male, Pelaboean Ratoe. 



This individual agrees almost perfectly with the description of 

 ritsemae. 



CYRTOXIPHA RITSEMAE, var. OBLITERATA, new variety 



The brachypterous insect recorded and figured by Brunner from 

 Burma '^ as questionably belonging to ritsemae really represents a 

 distinct variety. Specimens of this form are in the National 

 Museum from Japan, and it is one of the forms treated as ritsemae by 

 Shiraki in his Monograph Gryllidae of Formosa in 1911. The most 

 evident difference between this variety and typical ritsemae is the 

 somewhat broader form and the very obscure maculation of the teg- 

 mina of the male in the Asiatic insect. Deeming this form worthy 

 of a varietal name it is here christened as CyrtoxijpTm ritsemae, var. 

 ohliterata, new variety. This name is based on two males and three 

 females from Japan.
