ORTHOPTERA OF THE YALE DOMINICAN EXPEDITION OF 



1913. 



By A. N. Caudell, 



Custodian of Orihoptcra, United States National Museum. 



The Orthoptera collected by the Yale expedition to Dominica in 

 1913 comprises 57 specimens, representing 20 species. Two, a Phas- 

 mid and a Locustid, apparently new, are herein described. No more 

 definite locality is given than that expressed by the following label, 

 which is uniform for each specimen: "Dominica. June-July, H. W. 

 Foote, Yale Exp. 1913." 



By previous agreement types, uniques, and one-half of the remain- 

 ing specimens are deposited in the United States National Museum. 



Family BLATTIDAE. 



PLECTOPTERA POEYI Saussure. 



One female. This specimen is somewhat larger than ones in the 

 United States National Museum from the Greater Antilles and the 

 United States, the elytra measuring 6 mm. in length. Synonymy 

 very surely exists among the species of this genus and a revision is 

 desirable. 



PANCHLORA HYALINA StoU. 



Four females. 



EPILAMPRA CRIBROSA Burmeister. 



One female. This unique specimen seems to fit the description of 

 crihrosa better than that of any other described form which might be 

 expected to occur in Dominica. 



PYCNOSCELIS SURINAMENSIS Linnaeus. 



Two immature specimens. 



In addition to the above roaches there is in the collection a very 

 young nymph of a Blattid which I am unable to determine. 



Family PHASMIDAE. 



PARAPRISOPUS ANTILLARUM, new species. 



One female. Head densly covered with blunt tubercles, a broad 

 transverse furrow between the eyes with a deep longitudinal sulcus 

 above it and a couple of obscure sHghtly obUque longitudinal furrows,
