494 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol.47. 



spines, none apical; hind tibiae with both dorsal margins bearing 

 long, basally flattened, backward curving spines, an apical one on 

 the inner margin only. Tarsi broad and flat, especially the third 

 segment. 



Elytra sHghtly longer than the wings when folded, extending a 

 fifth their length beyond the tips of the hind femora; costal and anal 

 margins almost equally and uniformly curved, the tips narrowly 

 rounded. Wings nearly as broad as long, uniformly and deeply 

 fuhginous with even darker cross-veins except a broad grayish-brown 

 strip along the costal margin and extending from the base to near 

 the apex and as broad mesially as the pronotal width. 



Face, like the entire head except the brown eyes, light yellowish 

 brown, the mandibles blackish apically and the clypeus and labrum 

 very sUghtly margined laterally with darker color; antennae brown, 

 with some lighter segments here and there. Abdomen generally 

 yellowish brown, the sides of the last segment shining piceous, the 

 ovipositor yellowish basally and black apically. Legs greenish 

 brown mottled with black, the black mottling of the tibiae sometimes 

 gathered into the form of illy defined obscure bands. Elytra green- 

 ish with blackish mottUngs; wings colored as described above. 



Length: Pronotum, 10 mm.; fore femora, 18; middle femora, 17; 

 hind femora, 37; elytra, 65; wings, 57; ovipositor, 37. Width: 

 elytra, at the middle, 18; wings, at widest part, 46; ovipositor, at 

 middle, 5.5. 



Type.— Cat. No. 18252, paratype No. 18252a U.S.N.M.; paratypes 

 18252& and 18252c Yale University. 



The paratypes are about as the types except that the general color 

 is dark brownish, the green of the type specimen being mostly absent. 



The armature of the anterior tibiae seems very variable. In the 

 type-specimen and paratype a one of these tibiae, the left, is wholly 

 unarmed above while the opposite one has one small spine at about 

 the apical fourth. Paratype h has the left with one small spine and 

 the right unarmed and paratype c has two spines on the left one and 

 one on the right. 



In general this species bears some supei-ficial resemblance to the 

 insect described and figured by Redtenbacher as Bliastes striolatus 

 but in structure it is very different. 



LUTOSA CUBENSIS Haan. 



One female. 



Family GRYLLIDAE. 



CRYPTOPTILUM ANTILLARUM Redtenbacher. 



Two females. The measurements of these two specimens are 

 somewhat less than those given by Redtenbacher for the types from 

 St. Vincent and the form is a little more slender than United States 

 specimens in the National Museum collection determined by Rehn
