Report on a Collection of African Locustid^. 89 



70. Dictyophorus atcr. 



Petasia sjnimans, var. atcr, Dist., Naturalist in Transvaal, 

 p. 259, pi. iv, fig. 3 (1892). 



Hah. Transvaal : Pretoria {Distant). 



A well-marked form, and perhaps a good species. The 

 true D. sintinans, Thunb. ( = critentata, Serv.), does not 

 appear to occur in the Transvaal. 



71. Bictyophorus olivaceus. 



Fctasia olivacccc, Serville, Ann. Sci. Nat., xxii, p. 279, n. 



2 (1831). 

 Fctasia crucntata, var., Serville, Ins. Orth., p. 630 (1S39). 



Hah. Transvaal: Barberton (2 si^ecimens: Bcndall), 

 Pienaar's River (1 specimen : Thomscn). 



There appear to be several species confounded under 

 the name of P. spiimans, Thunb. If, as I presume, the 

 latter is the red insect figured by Roesel and StoU, and 

 described by Serville as P. crucntata, there ate no speci- 

 mens in Mr. Distant's collection. The three specimens 

 referred to P. olwacca agree fairly well with Serville's de- 

 scription, quoted above, which, however, is very incomplete. 



PAMPHAGODIN^. 

 Genus Charilaus. 



Gharilcms, Stal, Bihang Vet. Akad. Handl, iii (14), 

 p. 26 (1875); (Efv. Vet. Akad. Forh. xxxiii (3), p. 35 

 (1876); Bolivar, An. Soc. Esp., xiii, p. 487 (1884). 



72. Charilaus carinattts. 



Charilaus carinatus, Stal, Bihang Vet. Akad. Handl., iii 

 (14), p. 26 (1875); CEfv. Vet. Akad. Forh., xxxiii (3), p. 

 85 (1876) ; Bolivar, An. Soc. Esp., xiii, p. 488, pi. iv, 

 figs. 30, 30a (1884). 



Hah. Transvaal : Waterberg, Warm Baths (Distant) ; 

 Damaraland (Stal). 



A single specimen of this rare and curious species.
