British Uganda. (Grauer.) One male.

 from East and Northeast Africa have been pubHshed, the species 

 now being known to ränge as far north as Abyssinia, inland as

 Cameroon. (Conradt.) Seven males, six females, one immature 

 male, two immature females. 



The immature male is quite interesting as it has granulations 

 and rugae present as in the female sex, these being almost entirely 

 lost in the adult male. The paired circular ,,bosses" found on 

 the head of the adult male are indicated in the immature specimen, 

 but their form is not as decided as in the adult.

Closely allied to G. graminis, sicca, and evanescens Sjöstedt 

 and leprosus Gerstaecker from East Africa, differing from the 

 first in the shorter antennae, the less carinate body, more sub- 

 tuberculate body and in having the anal segment emarginato- 

 f issate to receive the supra-anal plate ; from sicca in the operculum 

 reaching about to the apex of the anal segment; from leprosus in 

 the shorter cerci and less extended seventh ventral segment and 

 from evanescens in the operculum being longer and slenderer and 

 in the more tapering cerci. 



Size moderately large ; from f airly elongate ; surf ace irregularly 

 and very finely subtuberculate, most pronounced on the prothorax, 

 least pronounced on distal section of abdomen. Head slightly 

 less than twice the prothoracic length, moderately tapering caudad,
