Hchard — Dennaptera and Orthoptera of Hazcaii 345 



Mountains of Oahu. summer of 1917, (P. H. Timberlake), 

 I 9. [Hebard Coll.]. 



Kuliouou, Oahu. XII, 22, 1918, (P. H. Timberlake; on leaves 

 of Clermontia), i2, [Timberlake Coll.]. 



The Kuliouou specimen is bright green, the one in the Hebard 

 Collection brown but showing green on the tegmina. Both show 

 clearly the striking facial marking and acute tegmina, characteristic 

 of the species. 



As this species was previously known from a single specimen, 

 we give the following measurements for the two females before us : 

 length of body 19.7-22.8, length of pronotum 5.2-5.6, length of 

 tegmen 11. 3-10. 8, width of tegmen 4-4.2, length of caudal femur 

 1 1. 4-1 1.4, length of ovipositor 10.3-11.1 mm. 



LiSTROSCELINAE 



Xiphidiopsis lita new species (Plate xxvi, 12 and 13.) 



Without males of this insect we are unable to make as full a 

 comparison as could be desired. The species of the genus, how- 

 ever, show in the female sex differences by which separation may 

 readily be made. 



It is hoped that males of Ufa may soon be taken in order that 

 their genitalia, probably showing intricate specialization, may be 

 described and figured. 



Many species of Xiphidiopsis are found in the tropical Asiatic, 

 Malayan and Melanesian regions, and, although not previously re- 

 ported from north of the Philippines, unstudied material represent- 

 ing the genus is now before us from as far north as the province of 

 Fukien, China. 



Type: 9 ; Hilo, Hawaii. August 31, 1919. (O. H. Swezey.) 

 [Hebard Coll., Type No. 771.] 



Size medium for the genus. Vertex small, acute, triangularly pro- 

 duced, though with apex bluntly rounded, its dorsal surface very weakly 

 convex and showing a subobsolete medio-longitudinal impressed line. Last 

 joint of maxillary palpus very slightly longer than fourth, enlarging sud- 

 denly near the truncate apex. 



Pronotum elongate, with dorsal surface very feebly convex, the portion 

 produced caudad about one-third of the total length ; lateral margins
