ILLUSTRATIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES OF GRASSHOPPERS FROM 
COLOMBIA AND MEXICO,

Tae insects represented in the accompanying Plate are here 
referred to the genus Phaneroptera of Latreille, with the general 
structure of which they best agree; they possess, however, such 
singular characters in the spinose and foliaceous appendages 
with which they are armed, and the antennze in the males of one 
of them are so curious, that I presume that they will by some 
writers be regarded as proper subjects, requiring the establishment 
of distinct sub-genera for their reception.

The eyes are very prominent and globose in this species, and 
between them is an acute point, more prominent in the female. 
The antennz of the males are very slender, and appear to consist 
of portions measuring about two lines each, which are not con- 
tinuous as in the other species, the extremity of each portion ter- 
minating in a little dilatation which is setose* (fig. 1 a). From 
what remains of the antennz of my female specimen, they appear 
to have been destitute of these nodosities. The face of the female 
is considerably wider than that of the male, which occasions a corre- 
sponding dilatation of the lateral margins of the pronotum, which 
in this sex have a small lobe or extension over the fore feet, which 
does not exist in the male. The pronotum is strongly saddle- 
shaped, the lateral angles of the raised part in the female being 
more elevated than in the male. The wing-covers are considerably 
more elongated in the males than in the females; in both sexes 
they are similarly marked with black spots. The wings are colour- 
less, except the small apical portion which extends when at rest 
beyond the wing-covers. ‘The sternums are simple. The feet are 
most slender and elongated in the males; they are of the colour 
of the body, but fasciated or annulated with black; the four 
* Dr. Burmeister describes a species from Bahia, with apparently similar antenne, Ph. 
nodicornis (Handb. der Eng. 2, p. 689) 5 but the specimen he described (from the collection 
of his father-in-law, my excellent correspondent, M. C. Sommer, Esq., of Altona), was a 
female.
