THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECOED. 



KAMBDKI, Bol.

supra-anal plate J placed below the anal segment ; cerci <? large, the 

 base broad and prolonged on the inner side into a stout tooth, from 

 this point forwards, slender, and longer than the supra- anal plate, bent 

 inwards at the apex and terminated in a sharp point ; the subgenital 

 lamina 2 provided at the base with two oblique keels and bent 

 inwards, forming a sulcus or hollow on each side, the rest 

 membranous. 



This genus was formed by Bolivar for the reception of about half 

 a dozen species occurring in northern and central Spain and in 

 Portugal. 



Table of Species. 



1. Anal segment t? prolonged posteriorly into two stout 

 lobes ; supra-anal plate (? terminated in a sharp 

 hook ; last ventral segment $ broad, smooth, the 

 other segments with two callosities . . 

 2. Pronotum with median keel .. .. ..1. 



2.2. Pronotum with no median carina . . . . 2. 



1.1. Anal segment c? with no diverging lobes; supra- 

 anal plate (? not spined at apex ; 3 last ventral seg- 

 ments ? simple, the others with two callosities. 

 2. Abdomen opaque, the segments not thickened 

 posteriorly ; subgenital lamina $ with the two 

 oblique keels united in the middle. 

 3. Pronotum very rugose ; anterior tibiffi unarmed 



above, with a single apical spine ; large 

 3.3. Pronotum smooth, translucent posteriorly; 

 anterior tibiffi with 1 spine beyond the middle 

 above smaller . . 

 2.2. Abdomen shining, with posterior border of seg- 

 ments thickened ; subgenital lamina ? with 

 the two oblique keels distant from each other 

 on inner side. 

 3. Keels of pronotum arched outwards, appearing 

 to be continued insensibly with the posterior 

 border, and crenulate or almost dentate 

 3.3. Keels of pronotum straight and parallel, 

 forming right angles with the posterior bor- 

 der, entire, or slightly crenulate. 

 4. Anal segment tJ emarginate in middle ; 

 penultimate segment ventral 9 smooth . . 

 4.4. Anal segment c? prolonged in the middle 

 in a triangular lobe with a longitudinal 

 sulcus; penultimate ventral segment ? with 

 a conical protuberance in middle . . . . 7. miegi, Bol. 



1. Callicrania ramburi, Bolivar {'> = monticola, Eambur). 



Ochre-yellow (at least, in dried specimens) ; pronotum flat ; anal 

 segment produced into two lobes. Length of body, 28mm. ^ ; of 

 pronotum, 8mm. <? ; of posterior femora, 17mm. J . 



Occurs in northern Spain, along the coast from San Vicente de la 

 Barquera, near the border of the Asturias, past Bilbao, to the Pyrennes, 

 where it occasionally occurs on the French side, as at Bagneres de 

 Bigorre, Bellat. 



2. Callicrania obvia, Navas. 



Eesembles C. rambnn, but seems to differ in the more cylindrical 

 cerci of the male, by the total absence of a median carina of the 

 pronotum, which is distinguishable in C. ramburi, by the more rugose 

 disc of the pronotum, and by the somewhat rugose side flaps, which 

 are quite smooth in C. ramburi ; the pronotum appears from the
