Bruner: Orthoptera from Africa. 135 



86. Eurycorypha zebrata sp. nov. 



Above the average in size, pale green with the tegmina transversely 

 banded and streaked with brown. Tegmina broad, widest at middle, 

 subtriangular in form. 



Head rather large, as broad as the front end of the pronotum; the 

 vertex broad, about as wide as four times the diameter of the basal 

 antennal joint, separated from the front by a delicate straight trans- 

 verse sulcus, extending across from the middle of the antennal cavities. 

 Antennae very slender, filiform, with their basal joint touching the 

 inner edge of the lower third of the small elongate eyes. Pronotum 

 rather large, about one and one-half times as long as wide, the disc 

 flat, a very little divergent caudad, crossed by a single transverse 

 sulcus at about one-third its length from the apex, middle longitud- 

 inally narrowly sulcate, instead of carinate; lateral carinae straight, 

 blunt; lateral lobes perpendicular, fully as high as long; anterior 

 margin of the disc widely subangulately emarginate, posterior margin 

 evenly and broadly rounded; upper posterior margin of the lateral 

 lobes separated from hind lobe of the disc by a deep acute emargination 

 over the insertion of the tegmina. Legs comparatively short and 

 slender, the hind femora somewhat shorter than the greatest width of 

 the tegmina, the carinse of lower edge armed with several small spines' 

 on their apical two-fifths. Ovipositor rather large and broad, the 

 margins smooth; last ventral segment or subanal plate triangular, 

 acuminate, longitudinallj^ bicarinate at middle. Lateral angles of 

 disc of the pronotum and base of the tegmina fusco-brunneous. 



Length of body, 9, 30 mm.; of pronotum, 7.5 mm.; of tegmina, 

 43 mm.; greatest width of latter, 18 mm.; length of hind femora, 

 17 mm. 



Habitat: The type, and only specimen at hand, comes from Lolodorf, 

 where it was taken October 29, 1913, by A. L Good. C. M. Ace.

 Vossia Brunner, Verb. K. K. Zool.-Bot. Ges. Wien, XLI, pp. 19, 139 (1891). 



A West African genus with two species. These insects are noted 

 for the very great depth of the lateral lobes of the pronotum, the 

 posterior angles of which are subangulate.
