Bruner: Saltatorial Orthoptera. 27 



Nos. 5873 and 5893; from Benevides, Para, Brazil, taken October, 

 1918, C. M. x'\cc. No. 6174; and from the Mana River, French Guiana, 

 May, 1 91 7, C. M. Ace. No. 6008. They were all taken by S. M, 

 Klages. 



This material, although somewhat variable, agrees quite well with 

 the original specimens, upon which the species was based. In color 

 both green or greenish, and brown or fuscous specimens are included. 



44. Oiphulella scudderi (Bolivar)? 



Orphula scudderi Bolivar, Mem. Soc. Z06I. France, I, p. 142 (1888). 



Orphidella scudderi Bruner, Biol. Cent. Amer., Orth., II, pp. 77, 82 (1904); Ib., 



Ann. Carnegie Mus., VIII, pp. 12, 17 (1911). 



There is a single female specimen belonging to the genus Orphidella 

 at hand, which I at first felt inclined to call new, giving it the name 

 0. surinama. After considering the matter somewhat in detail it is 

 doubtfully referred to 0. scudderi Bolivar, originally described from 

 Cuba, although it varies considerably from the original description 

 of that insect. It bears the label "Cayenne, Mch. 1917, Ace. 5897." 



Genus ParachloiJbata Bruner. 



Parachloebala Bruner, Biol. Cent. -Amer., II, pp. 31, 86 (1902, 1904); Kirby, 

 Syn. Cat. Orth.. Ill, p. 124 (1910). 



The present genus was originally based on a single specimen coming 

 from the West Indies. In general appearance this insect is very 

 similar to the Orphulellce, but differs from them in having three more 

 spines on the outer margin of the hind tibiae and in the color-pattern. 

 It is also likewise more robust in stature. , 



45. Parachloebata pratensis Bruner. 



Parachloebala pratensis Saussure {MS. name); Bruner, Biol. Cent. -Amer., 

 Orth., II, p. 84, PL I, figs. 10, lOfl, 9 (1904); Kirby, I. c, p. 124 (1910). 



The present collection contains several specimens of both sexes 

 as well as a half dozen nymphs. They come from Nueva Gerona, 

 Santa Fe, and Columbia, Isle of Pines, and belong to C. M. Ace. No. 



4745- 



In the original description of the species only the female was charac- 

 terized. It is now possible to add something relative to the male. 

 While the females vary greatly in color from almost a uniform pale 

 grass-green with scarcely a trace of dark and pallid markings, as
