NO. 2058. ORTHOPTERA FROM DOMINICA— CAUDELL. 495 



and Hebard. But these Dominican specimens are badly rubbed 

 and show some indications of immaturity. 



ANUROGRYLLUS MUTICUS DeGeer. 



One female. The lateral lobes of this brachypterous specimen are 

 almost wholly blackish, showing variation toward the la.rgeT A. fuscus 

 Caudell from Peru. This latter species may prove to be but of 

 varietal distinctness. An interesting malformation of the male type 

 of tliis Peruvian form is presented by the metatarsus of the left hind 

 tarsus, which is unarmed above. 



GRYLLODES RUFIPES Redtenbacher. 



One adult female and three nymphs, one a nearly mature female 

 and two smaller males. 



The adult female, which has the end of the ovipositor broken off, 

 agrees with the original description of the species except that the 

 elytra are not separated above. This may indicate a different species, 

 a variation or a difference due merely to a shrivehng of the type 

 specimen in drying. This can be definitely determined only when 

 more material from the Lesser Antilles is available for study. 



LARANDUS MARMORATUS Redtenbacher. 



One female. This specimen, the first of its sex known I believe, 

 seems to resemble the male, as described by Redtenbacher from St. 

 Vincent, except that it is entirely apterous and measures as follows: 

 Length, pronotum, 3 mm.; posterior femora, 11; ovipositor, 7; 

 width, pronotum, 3.5; hind femur at widest part, 3.25. 



The ovipositor is moderately curved upward and the tip is con- 

 siderably broadened and spear-shaped, the valves almost unarmed. 

 The cerci are almost one half longer than the ovipositor. 



CYRTOXIPHA IMITATOR Saussure. 



One male. This specimen seems specifically identical with the male 

 recorded by Rehn from Cuba. 



AMPHIACUSTA CARAIBEA Saussure. 



One male. 



OROCHARIS, species. 



Two males, one female. In spite of the fact that these specimens 

 are in fairly good condition I am unable to place them with certainty. 

 They are probably what has been sometimes recorded from the 

 Antilles as Oroclmris gryUodes or 0. saulcyi but they differ from both 

 these species as represented in the collection of the United States 

 National Museum. Orocharis, like so many of our orthopterous 

 genera, is in need of revision.
