ON THE GENUS PHRYNOTETTIX Glover (HALDEMANELLA Auct.) 

 BY JAMES A. G. REHN. 



The genus Phrynotettix was erected iu 1872, ou the figure of a 

 specimen from tlie Pecos river, Texas, in Glover's Illustrations of 

 North American Entomology, Orthoptera (PI. VI, fig. 25), and has 

 been entirely disregarded since, nearly all authors giving pref- 

 erence to Saussure's later name Haldmanella. The original figure 

 of Phrynotettix is clearly recognizable, and the absence of a de- 

 scription should not militate against the adoption of it under such 

 conditions. Four nominal species have been described, but a study 

 of the descriptions proves that all are synonymous, while one quite 

 distinct form from northern New Mexico appears to be uudescribed.
