LOCUSTTD^. 363 



a black oblique diffusedly reddish-bordered spot adjoining the hind side of 

 the externo-inedial vein at somewhat beyond one-third of the lenoth of the 

 wing; large and small areolets irregular; veins proceeding from the 

 scapular to the costa oblique, most of them nearly parallel to each other. 

 Hind wings pellucid ; apical patch green ; veins pale green. Length of 

 the body 12 lines; expansion of the fore wings 32 lines.

Male. Green. Head, prothorax and abdomen like those of V. bino- 

 tnla m structure. Fore part of the head whitish ; labrum brown in front. 

 Eyes brown, round, very prominent. Antennae brown, green at the base. 

 Legs rather shorter and mi)re slender than those of V. binotuta ; hind 

 femora blotched with brown on the outer side towards the base. Fore 

 wings rather broad, fusifortn, very little shorter than the hind wings, with 

 some irregular pale yellowish marks, and with a black spot which is at 

 somewhat beyond one-ihird of the length and is intersected by the interno- 

 medial vein ; two exterior brown dots on the interno-medial vein. Hind 

 wings pellucid ; apical patch green ; veins white or greenish white. Length 

 of the body 13 lines ; expansion of the fore wings 30 lines. 



This species differs chiefly from the preceding one in the veins of the 

 fore wings; the oblique veins between the costa and the scapular towards 

 the base are less regular ; the transverse veins between the externo-medial 

 vein and iis branch are more numerous.
