14. Paroxya dissimilis sp. nov. 
Resembling P. allanliia in size and appearance but differing markedly 
in form of male genitalia. The cerci are nearly three times as long as 
their basal width, slender, narrowing rapidly in their basal half to less 
than one-third their basal width, approximately equal in middle third, 
slightly dilated apically (chiefly on dor.sal margin) the ventral margin 
straight except at base, the dorsal margin sinuous, the apex truncate, 
slightly more than half as wide as base, its dorsal angle rounded ; the 
whole organ is moderately and regularly incurved, its apex flattened 
externally, convex internally, with revolute margins. Furcula similar 
to that of ailautica but shorter and the tips less pronounced.

17. Xip/iidium fascialum DeG. iS, i 9 , Nassau, June 28, G. M. .Allen. 
In the^ the wings barely pass the hind knees, in the 9 they extend 6mm. 
beyond them. Mr. .Allen states that the green grasshoppers taken at 
Nassau “were collected among the grass on the estate of Mr. Robert 
Johnstone. Most of the grass in the Bahamas is confined to such places 
as have been cleared and cultivated.” 
18. Xiphidium insulare sp. nov. 
This is a slender species related to A'. praciHimum but with the vertex 
wider (at least one-third the distance between the eyes ), and less pro- 
duced (five-sixths the length of eye viewed from above), the hind femora 
proportionally shorter, and the lateral lobes of the pronotum distinctly 
polygonal in outline instead of triangular. 
Body: ii; tegmina: 15; wings: 18; hind femora: 10; total length 
(vertex to end of wings): 22 mm. 
I S , Stranger Cay, July 14, G. M. .Allen. 
Three additional specimens of this genus in early stages were secured, 
two at Nassau,, and one on Mangrove Cay.
