2. Criotettix nigellus Bolivar. 



CrioteUix nigellus Bolivar, I. c, XXXI, pp. 185, 223, 225 (1887); Ib., Mem. Soc. 

 Espan. Hist. Nat., I, p. 213 (1905). 



Four specimens of grouse-locusts contained in the collections at 

 hand are referred to this species. Three of them were taken by A. I. 

 Good at Lolodorf, Cameroon, and the other by F. H. Hope at Batanga, 

 Cameroon. They were collected in November and March. C. M. 

 Ace. Nos. 5264 and 5293. 



Bolivar in his description of the species does not mention the pallid 

 color of the apex of the abdomen, the meso- and metapleura, and the 

 lateral spines of pronotum, as found on these specimens. Aside from 

 this discrepency they agree very well with his description of nigellus. 



Genus MoRPHOPUS Bolivar. 



Morphopus Bolivar, Bol. Mem. Soc. Espan. Hist. Nat., I, p. 216 (1905); Han- 

 cock, Gen. Ins., Fasc. 48, Orth. Acrid. Tetrig., pp. 31, 37 (1906). 



3. Morphopus afiinis Bolivar. 



Morphopus affinis Bolivar, Bol. Mem. Soc. Espan. Hist. Nat., I, p. 216 (1905) I 

 Hancock, Mem. Soc. Ent. Belg., XIV, p. 85, no. 7 (1908). 



The material taken at Batanga, contains one male and two females, 

 which were collected by F. H. Hope in February, 1914. A single 

 female is also at hand from Lolodorf. The latter specimen was taken 

 in November, 1910, by A. I. Good. 



Genus Paratettix Bolivar. 



Paratettix Bolivar, Bol. Ann. vSoc. Ent. Belg., XXXI, pp. 187, 195, 270 (1887); 

 also many authors. See Kirby, Syn. Cat. Orth., Ill, p. 32 (1910). 



4. Paratettix meridionalis (Rambur)? 



Telrix meridionalis Rambur, Fau ne Andal., II, p. 65 (1839). For synonymy see 

 Kirby, I. c, p. 32. 



The collections made by A. I. Good at Lolodorf contain eleven 

 specimens of a Paratettix, which I am inclined to refer to meridionalis, 

 although somewhat outside of its recorded habitat. C. M. Ace. 

 No. 5264. They were taken in May, 1914, and November and 

 December, 1913. An additional specimen, but somewhat smaller, 

 and taken by the same collector, is likewise placed here.
