SYNOPSIS OF THE ORTHOPTERA OF WESTERN EUROPE. 197 



descriptions to be more arched than in that species. Length of body 

 (according to Navas, ? sex), 25mm.-30uim. ; of pronotum, 10mm. ; of 

 posterior femora, 15mm. ; of ovipositor, 17mm. ? . 



A native of the mountainous parts of Northern Aragon ; first 

 taken by Father Navas on the road from San Cosme and San Damian 

 to the Pass of Fabana, and by Bolivar in the Sierra de Guara, and in 

 the Peila de Oroel, near Jaca, and on the Canfranc road ; the writer 

 has taken immature specimens, probably referable to this species, near 

 Jaca, at the Fuente del Salvador. 



It was first placed by Father Navas in the genus Platystolus, 

 which it resembles in the form of the cerci, but, on account of the 

 form of the frons and the presence of a tubercle there, it has been 

 removed by Bolivar to Callicrania, and it is undoubtedly allied to C. 

 ra)>iburi.'''' 



3. Callicrania seoanei, Bolivar. 



Variable in size and colour. Generally uniform reddish-yellow. 

 Length of body, 28mm. <? , 25mm. 5 ; of pronotum, 8mm. -9mm. 

 $ and (? ; of posterior femora, 18mm. -19mm. g and $ ; of 

 ovipositor, 22ram. 2 . 



On shrubs in north Spain, Galicia and the Asturias, as far as 

 Santander, extending down to Burgos and Oua ; also in the north of 

 Portugal. The writer has taken it on the slopes of the Picos de 

 Europa (Provincia de Santander). 



4. Callicrania pellucida, Bolivar {=9 sellu/er, Ch&vi^.). 



Allied to C. aeoanei but a little smaller, the pronotum is smoother, 

 the metazona being almost translucent, and the anterior tibife have 

 two spines on the outer border. Length of body 25mm., $ ; of 

 pronotum 7mm. 3 ; of posterior femora 16mm. 



Portugal : Serra de Gerez, Serra de Estrella and Beira Alta. 



5. Callicrania serrata, Bolivar. 



Allied to C. )iiieiii but distinguished at once from all its congeners 

 by the pronounced keels of the pronotum, which are arched so that 

 they appear to pass insensibly into the posterior border ; the keels also 

 have the peculiarity of being crenulate. Length of body 32mm. $ ; 

 of pronotum, 8-5mm. 2 ; of posterior femora, 20mm. 2 ; of ovipositor 

 27mm. 2 • 



Portugal : Milfontes. 



6. Callicrania bolivari, Seoane. 



Resembles C. iinefii: keels of pronotum straight and parallel; anal 

 segment of male excavate in middle ; penultimate ventral segment of 



2 smooth. Length of body, 27mm. ^ , 25mm. 2 ; of pronotum, 

 8-5inm.-llmm. J, 8-5mm. 2; of posterior femora, 18mm. -19mm. 



3 , 17mm. 2 ; of ovipositor, 19mm. -20mm. 2 • 



North-western Spain, in Galicia, at Ferrol, Parga, Santiago, 

 Castelo and Ardemil ; in these two latter localities it is unusually 

 abundant in July and August. At Ardemil its distribution overlaps 

 that of E. seoanei, while at Villa Rutis, the latter species exists alone. 

 These two species are known in Galicia under the names of " carricantas " 



* Now placed by Navas in a distinct genus, Syiiephippius.
