The locusts comprising the present genus are medium sized, short- 

 winged insects. The described species are very similar in general 

 appearance, but can be separated by the cereal characters of the males 

 (see synoptic table, Ent. News, XXI, p. ^07).

Habitat. — Two female specimens of Parascopas are before me as I

Genus Chlorus Giglio-Tos.

 (1898). 



The present genus of the Mclanopli was erected in 1898 by Giglio- 

 Tos for the reception of his Paradiclirophis borellii and Stal's Pezotettix 

 varicolor. Since then two other species, C. vittatus and C. brunneus, 

 have been added by me. Now a fifth form is at hand for characteri- 

 zation. With the exception of Stal's species, with Colombia as its 

 habitat, they all occur in the region embraced by Paraguay, south- 

 western Brazil, and eastern Bolivia. They may be separated by the 

 following synoptic table. The species borellii is the type.
