Orphulella gracilis Giglio-Tos, Boll. Mus. Zool. Anat. Torino, IX, no. 184, p. 11 



(1894). 



Habitat. — Several specimens from among the collections studied 

 have been determined as this species. They come from Chapada, 

 Brazil (H. H. Smith). 



10. Orphulella elongata sp. no v. 



Related to 0. punctata De Geer, but much slenderer and more 

 graceful in form. 



Female.- — But little heavier than the males of 0. punctata. The head 

 very gently wider than the anterior edge of the slightly compressed 

 pronotum, the occiput somewhat ascending above the plane of the 

 pronotum, of moderate length; fastigium of the vertex very gently 

 acuminate, the antero-lateral walls but little elevated above the disk; 

 lateral foveolae profound, somewhat elongate-triangular, the upper 

 side gently arcuate. Eyes of moderate size, acuminate above, their 

 anterior edge straight. Antenna slender, filiform. Pronotum with 

 the anterior and posterior lobes about equal in length, quite strongly 

 compressed, especially on the anterior half; the lateral carinae strongly 

 and evenly arcuate in front of the last transverse sulcus, approaching 

 closest at middle, where they are but half as far apart as on the hind 

 margin of the posterior lobe. Tegmina long and slender, reaching 

 about one-fifth of their length beyond the tip of the abdomen, their 

 veins very inconspicuous. Hind femora slender, their apex scarcely 

 reaching the tip of the abdomen; hind tibia? slender, externally ten- 

 spin ed. 



General color dull brown, varied with testaceous on face, lower half 

 of sides of pronotum, abdomen, and legs. Occiput, disk of pronotum, 

 and dorsal edges of tegmina pale testaceous, the latter marked rather 

 evenly along the dorsal angle and on the disk with fuscous dots, those 

 on the disk much more pronounced. Wings rather strongly infus- 

 cated apically and along the anterior margin. Hind femora with the 

 usual fuscous markings on the upper edge and along the lower outer 

 carina; hind tibiae fusco-cinereous, with a paler basal annulus. An- 

 tenna? pallid (at least on basal half, the only portion remaining on the 

 type specimen). 



Length of body, 9 , 20 mm., of pronotum, 2.4 mm., of tegmina, 19 

 mm., of hind femora, 10.5 mm.
