NO. 1010. yOTES ON AFRICAN ORTHOPTERA—REHN. 461 



slightly tectate, caudal margin bisarcuato-truncate, lateral angles 

 broadly rounded; cerci slightly exceeding the supra-anal plate in 

 length, robust, moniliform; subgenital plate strongly comi)ressed 

 distad. Limbs vory^ slender. Cephalic coxce slightly shorter than 

 half of the pronotal length, of the structure found in the other species 

 of the genus, the margins \ory finely denticulate, the slenderest por- 

 tion at the distal third, internal distal lobe strongly developed, 

 rounded: cephalic femora equal in length to about two-thirds that 

 of the pronotum, very- slender, tapering regularly from the proximal 

 section, hardly ct)mpressed; external margin with five spines, one of 

 which is very small and placed on the genicular lobe, internal margin 

 with eleven * to twelve spines of alternating size except distad, where 

 from three to four small spines intervene between the terminal large 

 spine and the one preceding it; discoidal spines three in number, the 

 second verv' long and surpassing in size the apical tibial claw: cephalic 

 tibiic sliglitly less than a fourth the length of the femora, moderately 

 comi)ressed, armed on the external margin with four spines on the 

 distal half, unarmed proximad ; internal margin with eight to ten 

 sjjincs; cephalic tarsi not exceeding the tibiae in length, the metatarsi 

 comprising more than half of the tarsal length. Median and caudal 

 limbs ver\' slender and elongate; tibine slightly longer than (caudal) 

 or subequal to (median) the femora; median metatarsi slightly less 

 than two-thirds of the length of the median tarsi; caudal metatarsi 

 about three-fourths of the entire tarsal length. 



General colors mottled raw umber and seal brown. Presternum 

 almost uniform broccoli bro^^^l, slightly roseate caudad of the inser- 

 tion of the cephalic limbs. Cephalic coxre ^vith their internal faces 

 nearly uniform broccoli brown, external margin beaded with seal 

 broAm; cephalic femora with the ventral and part of the internal face 

 solid seal brown. Supra-anal plate and cerci wood bro%vn. Median 

 and caudal tibia3 obscurely biannulate w-ith. wood broANTi proximad. 



Measurements. 



Ill in . 



Length of body 60. 



Length of pronotum 21. 5 



Greatest widih of pronotum 3. 5 



Length of cephalic femur 16. 5 



Length of median femur 16. 5 



Length of caudal femur 19. 



An imi^erfect paraty})ic specimen has also been examined. It is 

 considerably smaller than the t_>i)e and, having lost the apex of its 

 abdomen, the sex can not be ascertained. No point of difference 

 from the type can be found. 



> This appears to be abnormal and due to injury to certain spines.
