NO. 2058. ORTHOPTERA FROM DOMINICA— CAUDELL. 493 



Family ACRIDIDAE. 



ORPHULELLA PUNCTATA DeGeer. 



Nine males, twelve females, and one female nymph. 



The above series of this common species exhibits much variation 

 but no extremes not paralleled by specimens in a series of some 300 or 

 more in the United States National Museum collection from Paraguay, 

 named by Professor Bruner. 



Family LOCUSTIDAE. 



MICROCENTRUM DIVISUM Walker. 



Two males. This species will very surely prove synonymous with 

 some one of the later de&cribed species of Brunner. 



NEOCONOCEPHALUS GUTTATUS Walker. 



One female. The Conocephalus exaltatus of Walker seems very 

 near this species and may indeed be the same. 



CONOCEPHALUS PROPINQUUM Redtenbacher. 



One adult male and a female nymph. 



LEUROPHYLLUM LURIDUM Bnmner. 



Two males. These specimens are a little larger than the measure- 

 ments given in the original description. 



LICHENOCHRUS FULVICOSTA, new species. 



Four females. General color greenish mottled with dark brown. 

 Head with front retreating; fastigium of the vertex small and 

 declivent, not nearly as broad as the basal segment of the antenna 

 and apically pointed, the whole sunk deep between elevated antennal 

 scrobae, the tip below that of the frontal fastigium, which is apically 

 tuberculate; basal segment of antenna armed on the inner side with 

 a long spur, more than half as long as the segment. Pronotum sub- 

 sellate, without lateral carinae, the disk anteriorly roundly produced, 

 posteriorly less so, the surface uneven but scarcely ruggose, the 

 transverse sulci very distinct; lateral lobes twice as long as high, the 

 lower margin horizontal and with a shallow intromarginal sulcus. 

 Abdomen plump, the ovipositor heavy, very httle curved upwards, 

 lower margin regularly curved, the upper margin straight in basal 

 half or a little more and then tapering to the pointed apex in an 

 almost straight line, the margins almost smooth, very slightly 

 undulately toothed. 



Legs long and stout; all the femora armed beneath on the cephaHc 

 margin only, the fore ones with four, the middle with five or six, and 

 the hind ones with about a dozen stout spines, those of the hind 

 femora especially much flattened; all geniculations briefly but 

 acutely spined; all tibiae armed beneath on both margins with several 

 short stout spines; fore tibise unarmed above or with one or two 

 small spines on the caudal margin in the apical half, none apical; 

 middle tibiae armed above on the caudal margin only with 4 or 5
