INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 29 



three species of some interest by reason of their rarity or not 

 having them hitherto reported from that country. They are as 

 follows : 



Sagona ovata Brunn. One 9 . Described from Costa Rica 

 and since reported from Guatemala. This specimen from 

 Presidio is, I believe, the first record of its being found in 

 Mexico. 



Pyrgocorypha rogersi Sauss. & Pictet. One 2 . Described 

 from Costa Rica and not before recorded from Mexico. 



Bncoptolophus herhaceus Bruner. One 9 . This handsome 

 little grasshopper was described from central Mexico but has 

 not been reported since. It was found in moderate numbers 

 by its describer in fields about the outskirts of Mexico City.
