Hal). Transvaal: Pretoria; and another female specimen 

 without special locality {Distant) ; Natal {type) ; Nyasa- 



LAND (B. M.). 



This species is common in Nyasaland, where the 

 black stripes are a little narrower than in the type from 

 Natal. Bolivar regards it as a variety of P. ddoronota, Stal 

 ( = Ojwmala hasalis, Walker), which he and Krauss 

 incorrectly regard as identical with Tnixalis viriduta, 

 Beauv., which is really a synonym of the American T. 

 hrcvirornis, Linn. 



One specimen from Pretoria differs in having a broad 

 double black band on each side of the central line on the 

 hinder half of the vertex ; in wanting the usual black lines 

 on the pronotum ; and in the hind femora being blackish 

 on both sides. But without a long series of specimens 

 from the same locality, to show variation, and to check the 

 effects of possible discoloration, it is difficult to deal with 

 Orthoptera satisfactorily. 



Genus DuRONiA. 



Duronia, Stal, Bihang Vet. Akad. Handl. (4), v, p. 21 

 (187G). 



The types of this genus are D. scmicarinata, Gerst., and 

 D. chloronota, Still, the latter of which is a synonym of 

 Phlxolia hasa/is, Walk. ; but Brunner employs the name 

 for some Burmese species which are not congeneric.
