22. Schistocerca idonea sp. nov. 



Of fully average size and moderately slender, ferrugineo-testaceous, 

 much infuscated. Head rather large, luteo-testaceous, all the prominences 

 marked with fuscous, besides a distinct suborbital genal fuscous stripe, 

 and on the vertex a pair of divergent fuscous stripes on either side of a 

 broad testaceous median stripe, sometimes tinged with ferruginous ; frontal 

 costa broadly and rather shallowly sulcate, subequal ; eyes shorter than 

 the infraocular portion of the genai ; antennte rufous. Pronotum well 

 arclied, in no way tectate, very faintly strangulate, the median carina 

 delicate, percurrent, lying in the middle of a very broad and equal ferru- 

 gineo-testaceous stripe, bordered on either side by a slightly broader 

 posteriorly widening fuscous or ferrugineo-fuscous stripe, occupying the 

 rest of the disk ; lateral lobes testaceous with a very broad median slightly 

 oblique longitudinal fuscous stripe, often itself with a median testaceous 

 thread ; prozona strongly produced and well rounded in front, slightly 

 shorter than the metazona, which broadens so as to be slightly broader 

 than at the eyes, and is posteriorly obtusangulate, the angle generally 

 very broadly rounded but variable. Tegmina extending far beyond the 

 abdomen, rather slender, testaceous, the costal area with a long luteous 

 streak, the anal area wholly luteous or luteo-testaceous, the median area 

 profusely maculate with fuscous, more or less blended in the proximal 

 half, scattered and more feeble and generally subquadrate in the distal 

 half; wings rather faintly flavo-infumate, immaculate. Plind femora 

 testaceous, the outer face hoary or lutescent below, infuscated along the 

 middle and generally above, the carinas punctate with fuscous at the ser- 

 rations ; hind tibiae ferruginous, the spines luteous with black tips. 



Length of body, 46 mm. ; antennae, 16.5 mm. ; tegmiua, 41 mm.; hind 

 femora, 22.5 mm.
