54. Orphullela insularis, new species. 



Specimens of what appear to be a third species of Orphullela are among the 

 collections received from both Mr. Chipman and Mr. Tryhane. They are about the 

 size of the preceding from which they differ in their slightly more robust form, the 

 shorter and somewhat flattened antennae, the smaller eyes, the more obtuse fastigium 

 of the vertex, the gently arcuate lateral carina; of the pronotum, the slightly broader 

 tegmina and more robust hind femora. In color they vary from a pale brunneo-tes- 

 taceous to a dull brown. Some female specimens show the usual dusky pronotal and 

 pleural markings, while others are without them. Both the males and the females 

 have the tegmina quite evenly maculate with pale to darker fuscous patches similar to 

 those so characteristic in the considerably larger O. punctata DeGeer. The hind 

 femora of the males have prominent traces of a fuscous band across the upper edge, 

 while the lower outer carina is adorned with 4 to 6 elongate fuscous maculations. 

 Anterior and middle tibia; fasciate with fuscous, the hind tibia; somewhat infuscate. 

 Sides of basal abdominal segments piceous.

Habitat. — Trinidad, West Indies. 



This insect will run close to meridionalis Brunei", in the synoptic 

 table of the genus as given in the Biologia Centrali Americana, but by 

 comparison with that species shows a number of differences. 



Subfamily Acridiin.e. 



55. Prionolopha serrata Linneeus. 



-There are at hand two males and a female of this widely distrib- 

 uted South American locust. They were received from H. D. Chip- 

 mann, who collected them on the Island of Trinidad. 



56. Tropidacris dux Drury. 



One male and two females (H. D. Chipman), a pair (W. E. 

 Broadway), and female (G. E. Tryhane). 



For thesynonomy of this handsome large locust see Scudder's arti- 

 cle entitled "A Study of the Giant Lobe-crested Grasshoppers of South 

 and Central America." 



57. Prionacris ? sp. 



Mr. G. E. Tryhane sent to me among other interesting Orthop- 

 tera taken on the Island of Trinidad a young nymph which seems to 

 belong to the genus Prionacris. It is black, marked with dashes of 

 yellow. There are three such markings, which are oblique, on each 

 side of the disk of the pronotum, and the hind femora are thrice 

 banded with the same color.
