ON A COLLECTION OF ORTHOPTERA (EXCLU- 

 SIVE OF THE LOCUSTID^) MADE IN CEN- 

 TRAL PERU BY N. ICONNICOFF AND C. 

 SCHUNKE 



By a. N. CAUDELL 



The material upon which this report is based was submitted 

 to the writer for determination under an agreement by which 

 holotypes, allotypes, and uniques in the Tettigonidse and Man- 

 tidse and a male and a female of each species in duplicate in 

 the other families represented are deposited in the collection of 

 the United States National Museum, all the rest of the material 

 to be returned to Mr. Iconnicoff. 



The Dermaptera, as represented in this material, consists of 

 a single specimen. If others were taken and sent elsewhere for 

 determination, or if the single specimen herein included consti- 

 tutes the whole of this group represented in the collection, is 

 not known to the writer. The first surmise, however, seems 

 the more likely. 



The Blattidse of this collection were reported on by the late 

 Mr. Shelford.^ A few of these roaches, for some reason not 

 submitted to Mr. Shelford, were sent with the other material 

 here reported on, and will be found included at the proper 

 place. 



The Mantidse and Phasmidse are moderately represented and 

 the Gryllidae somewhat better so, but the Tettigonidse, especi- 

 ally the Pseudophyllinae and the phaneropterous genus Anaul- 

 acomera, form the most interesting portion of the collection.
