SCUDDER. — THE GENUS SCHISTOCERCA. 451 



frontal costa subequal, sulcate throughout ; eyes scarcely longer than the 

 infraocular portion of thegenoe; antennae ferruginous. Prouotum well 

 arched, in no way tectate but with distinct and sharp median carina, 

 ferruginous with feeble fuscous maculations on the lateral lobes (which 

 have also below the middle an obscure pallid spot), widening considerably 

 on the metazona, so as to be considerably broader than at the eyes, the 

 prozona scarcely produced anteriorly, distinctly shorter than the metazona, 

 which is faintly obtusaugulate behind, the angle narrowly rounded. Pro- 

 sternal spine moderate, cylindrical, blunt, retrorse but not arcuate. 

 Tegmina extending much beyond the abdomen, moderately broad, testa- 

 ceous or ferrugineo-testaceous, with distinct subpantherine fuscous mark- 

 ings of rather large size extending from base to tijj; wings vitreous, the 

 veins luteous. Hind femora ferrugineo-testaceous with hoary outer face, 

 the serrations of the upper carinte fuscous ; hind tibiae pale ferruginous, 

 the spines with black tips. 



Length of body, 45 mm. ; antennae, IT-j- mm. ; tegmina, 50 mm. ; hind 

 femora, 28 mm.

7. Schistocerca camerata sp. nov. 



Compact and bulky, somewhat above the medium size, ferrugineo- 

 testaceous more or less iufuscated. Head ferrugineo-testaceous, mottled 

 posteriorly with faint plumbeo-fuscous and with a pair of divergent fus- 

 cous streaks behind upper edge of eyes ; frontal costa subequal, slightly 

 narrower at the ocellus, deeply sulcate at and below the ocellus ; eyes 

 narrower than usual, distinctly longer than the infraocular portion of the 

 genae ; antennte luteo-testaceous. Pronotum distinctly tectate, with very 

 coarse and jjrominent median carina, which is free from the very obscure 

 and faint infuscation of the remainder ; prozona scabro-punctate, produced 

 and subangulate anteriorly, but little shorter than the not very profusely 

 punctate metazona ; the latter enlarges but little, but is shouldered pos- 

 teriorly and just broader than at the eyes, the hind margin faintly obtus- 

 augulate, the angle rather narrowly rounded. Prosternal spine short, 

 stout, cylindrical, blunt, erect. Tegmina extending but little beyond the 

 abdomen, rather broad, ferrugineo-testaceous, rather profusely and some- 

 what obscurely maculate throughout, except the anal area, with fuscous, 

 the maculations in the distal half having a tendency to an obliquely trans- 

 verse direction ; wings impure vitreous, with luteous veins. Hind femora
