Bruner: Orthoptera from Africa. 133 



by a single female from Lolodorf, A. I. Good, Collector, and by eight 

 males and fourteen females from Batanga, F. H. Hope, Collector. 



80. Phaneroptera reticulata B runner. 



Phaneropiera reticulata Brunner, Mon. Phan., pp. 210, 213 (1878). 



Although reticulata was described from South Africa, there are four 

 individuals one male and three females, at hand from Batanga, thus 

 considerably extending the range of the species. The material was 

 taken by F. H. Hope. C. M. Ace. No. 5293. 



81. Phaneroptera sp.? 



There are three females of a third species of the genus before me. 

 They are quite noticeably larger than either of the preceding, but, 

 being somewhat discolored, are not readily determinable. This is 

 particularly true, since the published synoptical keys are based largely 

 on the males. One of the specimens comes from Lolodorf, A. I. Good, 

 Collector, and the others from Batanga, F. H. Hope; Collector. 



82. Phaneroptera sp.? 



Still a fourth species of the genus Phaneroptera is represented by a 

 single female specimen. It, too, is considerably discolored and diffi- 

 cult to determine for the same reason stated in connection with the 

 preceding. This latter form is rather larger, and has broader tegmina 

 and wings, than the three preceding and as yet is undetermined. 

 Possibly it may be new. It comes from Batanga, where it was col- 

 lected in April, 1914, by F. H. Hope. C. M. Ace. No. 5263. 



Genus Gelatopcea Brunner. 



Gelalopcea Brunner, Verb. K. K. Zool.-Bot." Ges. Wien, XLI, pp. 15, in (1891); 

 Karsch, Stettin. Ent. Zeit., LVII, 343 (1896). 



The genus Gelatopcea is i\frican, and thus far contains but a single 

 representative, which in general appearance seems very much like 

 the Central and South American representatives of Aphidiiia. These 

 latter live largely on trunks of trees, stony ledges, and other places 

 where lichens abound, and on account of their slow movements and 

 variegated colors are well protected from their enemies.
