Poehiloceriis roseijMnnis, Serville, Ann. Sci. Nat., xxii, p. 276, 



n. 3 (1831) ; Ins. Orth., p. 599 (1839). 

 Var, Pceciiocercc atriceps, Gerstaecker, Arch. f. Nat., xxxv, p. 



216 (1869); Von der Decken's Reisen in Ost-Afrika,

 Zonocerus atriceps, Bolivar, An. Soc. Esp., xiii, p. 458 



(1884). 



Hob. Transvaal: Zoutpansberg {Kaessner); Delagoa 

 Bay (Dawson) ; East London, Cape ; Zululand ; Natal ; 

 Kilimanjaro; British East Africa (Brit. Mus.). 



Z. atriceps, Gerst., is, I think correctly, referred to this 

 species by Dr. Karsch. The characters given by various 

 authors, to distinguish it from Z. clegans, Thunb., are not 

 satisfactory ; and it appears to be founded on yellow (or 

 perhaps faded ?) specimens of the micropterous form. The 

 red micropterous form of Z. clegans is figured by Bolivar. 



59. Zonocerus sanguinolentus. 



Acrydium sanguinolcntum, De Geer, Mem. Ins., iii, p. 489, 



n. 5, pi. 40, fig. 9 (1773). 

 Pcekilocerus sanguinolentus, Serville, Ins. Orth., p. 598 



(1889). 

 Zonocerus varicgatus, Stal,Rec. Orth., i, p. 16 (1873); Bolivar, 



An. Soc. Esp., xiii, p. 450 (1884). 



Hal. Angola {Montciro); Natal; Zomba; Sierra 

 Leone ; Cameroons ; Niger ; Ashanti, etc. (B. M.). 



I am not satisfied that this species is correctly identified 

 with Gryllus (Locusta) variegattts, Linnaeus, the type of 

 which is lost.
