THE SECTION SALTATORIA. 55 
The species of the genus Proscopia are arranged by Dr. 
Burmeister* in the following manner :— 
I. Those with the eyes placed near the middle of the sides of the head, the front part of 
which is obtuse, with the sides parallel, or diverging and quadrangular, 
A. Those with the front part of the head dilated at the end. 1. Pr. spinosa, Kl.; and 
2. Pr. granulata, Kl. 
B. Those with the front of the head of equal breadth throughout. 
a. The extremity being as broad as the space between the eyes. 
a. Prothorax granulose. 3. Px. radula, KI. 4. Pr. hospida, KI. 
8 Prothorax with impressed punctures. 5. Pr. punctata, KI. 6. Pr. 
brevicornis, KI. 
b, Extremity of the head evidently narrower than the space between the eyes. 
7. Pr. scabra, Kl., and Pr. gigantea, Kl. 
Hj. Those with the eyes placed near the tip of the head, which is acuminated, 
A. Extremity of the head as long as, or longer than, half the antenne. 9. Pr. striata, 
Kl. 10. Pr. acuminata, Kl. 11. Pr. ruficornis, Kl. 12. Pr. rostrata, K1. 
B. Extremity of the head very small, much shorter than the half of the antenne, 13. 
Pr. brevirostris, Kl. 14. Pr. Ophiopsis, Kl. 15. Pr. oculata, KI. 
M. Servillef divides the genus in the following manner :— 
1. Head elevated into a kind of vertical pyramid, &c. (Proscopra proper.) 
A. Eyes of moderate size, oblong. Pr. scabra, KI., and Pr. granulata, KI. 
B. Eyes large, and nearly rounded. Pr. rostrata, KI. 
2. Head not elevated into a vertical pyramid, but horizontally prolonged in front in the 
same line as the hody, &c. (Crpuarocmma.) Pr. (Ceph.) Sica, Serv. n. sp. from the 
southern part of Campos-Geraes, in Brazil; described from the Collection of the Jardin des 
Plantes, where I examined and sketched the typical specimen described by M. Serville, and 
find it to be very closely allied to the insect next to be described. 
PROSCOPIA (CEPHALOCGiMA) SUBAPTERA, Westw. (Plate 63, fig. 2.) 
(Long. lin. 7.) 
P. fusco-brunnea, capite horizontali sensim ad apicem attenuato, antennis vix dimidio rostri 
longioribus, thorace et abdomine longitudinaliter striatis, prothorace, antice et postice bi- 
spinosis ; mesothorace spinis duabus paullo majoribus armato tegminibusque duobus 
liberis minutis instructo, alis duabus minimis liberis nigro-metallicis nitidis sub tegmina 
reconditis, abdomine supra depresso. Q Long. corp. une. 3+. 
Habitat. in Brasilia, Mus. nostr. 
Obs.—Individium alterum 9 possideo 24 lin. longitudine, statura paullo angustiori rostro 
longiori (pro magnitudine insecti) coloreque cinereo : spinis thoracis ut et tegminibus et 
alis cum precedenti vero congrueus, vix species distincta. 
The insect represented in figure 4 in this plate is one of the 
most interesting Orthopterous insects hitherto discovered ; and it is 
greatly to be regretted that the very mutilated state of the unique 
female specimen in the British Museum Collection prevents me from 
being able to give its whole character. Indeed, it is not surprising 
that from this circumstance it should have been arranged amongst 
the Phasmidz in that collection, since its general appearance cer- 
tainly bears a much closer resemblance to some of the wingless 
Phasmidee than to one of the saltatorial Orthoptera. A slight 
examination, however, convinced me that, from the structure of the 
tarsi, and the relative size of the thoracic segments, the insect
