General color brown, the tegmina obscurely maculate with rather 

 large rounded spots of darker color; side of pronotum with a gen-

 posterior femora. 



Measurements. — Length, to end of tegmina, c? 41, 9 51 mm.; an- 

 tenna, c? 14, 9 16 mm.; pronotum, d^ 7, 9 8.5 mm.; tegmina, S 

 33, 9 46 mm.; posterior femora, c? 20, 9 25 mm.; cerci, e 2.25 mm. 



Type maierial. — Four males and seven females and one female 

 nymph. Type, c? ; allotype, 9 ; and paratypes A to C, c? , D to I, 

 9 , and J, nymph. Tj^pe, U.S.N.M. No. 43590. 



Remarks. — There is very little variation in size or appearance 

 noticeable in this series of specimens. 



The present species seems much like the one described as Valanga 

 rapm^a by Uvarov^^ and may indeed prove to be the same. Its 

 characters appear, however, to indicate proper association with the 

 species of the genus Patanga rather than those of the genus Valanga. 

 If Uvarov's species does ultimately prove to be the one here described, 

 it would seem advisable to refer it to the genus Patanga. 



The Valanga stercoraria of Holdhaus may belong to Patanga, or 

 to a new one. Certain of the characters noted for that species b}^ 

 Uvarov " seem at variance with those of the genus Valanga. The 

 excised posterior margin of the pronotal disk of stercoraria men- 

 tioned by Uvarov is not noted in the original description of the 

 species by Holdhaus.^^
