Bruner: Orthoptera from Africa. 117 



Head of moderate size, about as wide as the anterior portion of the 

 pronotum, the occiput rounded and slightly ascending, comparatively 

 short; ej^es large and prominent, in both sexes somewhat longer than 

 the anterior edge of the cheeks below them; .vertex a little depressed, 

 in the male as wide as the diameter of the second, and in the female 

 as that of the first antennal joints, very narrowly and gently longi- 

 tudinally sulcate, the fastigium of moderate size, subquadrate, about 

 as long (cf) or not quite ( 9 ) as wide, the disc flat, surrounded by 

 coarse carinae-in continuation of those of the vertex; frontal costa a 

 little wider than the vertex, prominent above between the antennae, 

 less so below the ocellus, punctulate, plain in the female, broadly and 

 shallowly sulcate in the male, continuous to the clypeus, sulcate in 

 both sexes at the ocellus and below. Antennae rather robust, in the 

 male nearly as long as the hind femora, in the female a little shorter. 

 Pronotum strongly punctulate, on the hind lobe very closely so, 

 anterior lobe with the sides parallel, the posterior one rather strongly 

 divergent, median carina prominent on hind, less so on front lobe, thrice 

 interrupted by the well-defined transverse sulci, anterior margin 

 gently rounded, angulate behind. Tegmina and wings fully devel- 

 oped in both sexes, surpassing both the tip of the abdomen and the 

 apex of the hind femora, rather profusely and heavily veined. An- 

 terior and middle legs comparatively slender, even in the male; hind 

 femora elongate, somewhat robust at base, with large geniculae, the 

 hind tibiae elongate, the exterior margin nine-spined, interior margin 

 ten-spined. Prosternal spine elongate, directed a little to the rear, 

 large, coarse, its apex rounded; mesosternal lobes decidedly rounded 

 internally, separated by a space a trifle wider than long, metasternal 

 lobes also separated, but the space much narrower than that of the 

 mesosternum. Male abdomen tapering, the apical segment acumi- 

 nate, its apex entire; supra-anal plate elongate triangular, deeply 

 sulcate at center to middle, tumid apically, and with a prominent 

 transverse carina just back of the middle. Anal cerci not quite 

 reaching the apex of the supra-anal plate, slender, bowed, directed to 

 the rear and inwards, their apex a little flattened, blunt; valves of 

 ovipositor elongate, curved, acuminate, not prominently toothed. 



General color above dark fuscous, with a tinge of olive on the 

 dorsum of the pronotum and dorsal field of tegmina and legs; front, 

 abdomen, and underside flavous with a tinge of olive or green. Occi- 

 put at side, outer margins of the disc and lower margins of the pro-
