17. Dictyophorus laticinctus Walker. 



Petasia lalicincta Walker, Cat. Derm. Salt. Brit. Mus., Ill, p. 544 (1870); Kirby, 

 Syn. Cat. Orth., Ill, p. 305 (1910). For further synonymy see Kirby, /. c. 



Two female specimens belonging in the genus Dictyophorus, as here 

 limited, are referred to Walker's laticiucta. They bear the label 

 "Congo (Antisdel), C. M. Ace. 2315." 



Genus Parapetasia Bolivar. 



Parapetasla Bolivar, Bol. An. Soc. Espan. Hist. Nat., XIII, pp. 25, 484, 498 

 (1884); Ib., Bol. Soc. Esp. Hist. Nat., IV, p. 309 (1904); Ib., Gen. Ins., Fasc. 90, 

 Orth. Acrid. Pyrg., p. 13 (1909). 



18. Parapetasia femorata Bolivar. 



Parapetasia femorata Bolivar, //. cc, pp. 485, 498, pi. 4, figs. 28, 28a-c (1884); 

 p. 309 (1904), p. 14 (1909); Karsch, Berlin Ent. Zeitschr., XXXVII, p. 70 

 (1898). 



A single female is at hand. It comes from Efulen, Cameroon, where 

 it was collected by Dr. H. L. Weber. 



This specimen differs somewhat from Bolivar's description, but 

 comes much closer to it than to P. inipotcns of Karsch. The specimen 

 before me also comes from a region much closer to the locality, from 

 wliich the species was described, than to the habitat of the second 

 species, the latter coming from a region fully two thousand miles to 

 the eastward. 



Genus Taphronota Stal. 



Taphranota St.\l, (Efv. Vet.-Akad. Forh., XXX, p. 51 (1873); Ib., Recens. Orth., 

 I, pp. II, 19 (1873); Bolivar, An. Soc. Espaii. Hist. Nat., XIII, pp. 25, 472, 

 497 (1884); Ib., Bol. Soc. Esp. Hist. Nat., IV, p. 394 (1904); Ib., Gen. Ins., 

 Fasc. 90, Orth. Acrid. Pyrg., p. 15 (1909). 



Epamofiotor Kirby, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1902, p. 87 (immature). 



All of the representatives of the genus Taphronota, so far as known, 

 are confined to Africa. Fourteen species are listed in Kirby's Syn- 

 onymic Catalogue of the Orthoptera. 



19. Taphronota merceti Bolivar? 



Taplironola merceti Bolivar, Bol. Soc. Esp. Hist. Nat., pp. 395, 398 (1904); Kirby, 

 Syn. Cat. Orth., Ill, p. 309 (1910). 



A male specimen of a locust bearing the label "Congo (Antisdel). 

 C. M. Ace. 2315" is doubtfully referred to Bolivar's T. merceti.
