DESCRIPTIONS OF ONE NEW GENUS AND FIFTEEN 



NEW SPECIES OF TROPICAL AMERICAN 



ORTHOPTERA 



BY JAMES A. G. REHN 



The new forms described in the present paper have been en- 

 countered in making certain comparative examinations, necessi- 

 tated in the preparation of papers which have recently appeared 

 or are now in preparation. The greater portion of the new 

 species are based on material forming part of several extensive 

 series, which, for various reasons, it is not possible to fully study 

 at this time. It seems advisable, however, that the new descrip- 

 tions should appear, particularly as it is necessary to quote cer- 

 tain of them in other papers now awaiting publication. All of 

 the new forms are based on material from the collection of the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, where the types 

 are located. 



Seven of the species described are Costa Kican and eight are 

 from various locahties in South America. 



BLATTIDAE 



The following species was distributed to a number of collec- 

 tions in Europe and America by the late Dr. Saussure, under the 

 manuscript name of E. carhonaria. This latter name was never 

 adequately proposed, and it seems most fitting in fully describing 

 the species to commemorate the name of the student who assisted 

 in bringing it, and numerous similar discoveries in the zoology 

 of his adopted country, to the attention of others — Prof. Pablo 

 BioUey.
