The above male appears rather small for this species but 

 otherwise agrees very well with the original diagnosis. It 

 measures as follows : Length : pronotum, 8 mm. ; anterior fe- 

 mora, 31 min. ; posterior femora, 18.5 mm.; tegmina, 29 mm. 

 Width : pronotum posteriorly, 5 mm. ; tegmina mesially, 8.5 

 mm. ; posterior femora at widest point, 3 mm. 



From an examination of type material in the British Museum 

 r conclude that Meoncidins inornatus and M. indistinctus 

 Walker are both synonymous with marginatus. Why Kirby, 

 Syn. Cat. Orth., vol. ii, p. 332 (1906), places indistinctus in the 

 genus Bliastes is not clear.

This is very like the male recorded above as M. marginatus 

 and may be but a shorter-winged form of that species, the 

 somewhat shorter organs of flight being the main difference 

 noted. The tegmina of this specimen measures 25 mm. in 

 length. 



Meroncidius atricauda, new species. 



This apparently undescribed form is structurally related to 

 M. flovolimbotus Brunner and also to M. innotatus Walker, a
