 Grylkis Locustie morhillosi Nympiha, StoU, Saut., pi. 6 b. fig.

Hah. Transvaal: Pretoria {Distant). 



This insect is apparently not the nymph of P. morhilhmis, 

 as every author since the time of Houttuyn seems to have 

 inferred. I cannot refer it to any perfect insect before 

 me ; but it is probably most nearly allied to P. kprosus, 

 Fabr., though smaller, and differently coloured. There 

 are specimens of a similar pupa in the British Museum, 

 also without any perfect insect to correspond to them.

Hah. Pretoria {Distant) ; Angola {Montciro) : Brit.

 hcrg) ; Abyssinia {Eaffray) ; Somali {Gcrstmckcr) ; Tan-

 Zululand (B. M.). 



A common species. The spines bordering the pronotum 

 may be cither red or green. StoU has figured an allied 

 species {P. stolli, Sauss.) as sqaarrosus, Linnanis, but the 

 latter is a West African insect belonging to the allied 

 genus Rhytidoderes, Westwood {Peristcgas, Bolivar). 



62. Phymatens morhillosus. 



Gryllns {Locnsta) morhillosus, Linnaeus, Syst. Nat. (ed. x.), 

 p. 431, n. 1 (1758); Mus. Ludov. Ulr., p. 141 (1764).
