109, Eupropacris genualc. 

 Acridium gcnuale, Walker, Cat. Derm. Salt., iv, p. 625 

 (1870). 

 This species was founded on a specimen from East Africa, 

 of which almost every marking has been obliterated by 

 spirit, except on the inside of the legs. Still, I cannot 

 venture to regard the better-coloured specimens before me 

 as new, so I append a fresh description. 



Long. corp. 30-35 milHrn. ; 60-62 millim. 



Female. Head yellow. Antennte, a streak on the frontal ridge be- 

 low the antenna?, the greater part of the spaces on each side between 

 the inner and outer pairs of caringe, several spots on the mouth-parts, 

 and two short stripes behind the eyes, nearly connected by a streak 

 beyond, all black. Vertex and pronotum with a broad blackish or 

 reddish stripe, darkest in front, expanding from between the eyes to 

 the extremity of the pronotum ; this is bordered on each side with 

 yellow, separating it from a broad darker or paler-reddish band, bor- 

 dered beneath with yellow, which runs obliquely across the pronotum 

 and pleura, which are thickly rugose-punctate. Abdomen reddish or 

 yellowish, with black sutures. Four front legs reddish, middle 

 femora striped with yellow beneath. Hind femora yellow, the outer 

 middle area with two blackish or reddish stripes, meeting at the 

 extremity ; inner surface blackish or reddish, nearly to the knees, 

 which are also blackish, or reddish, and sometimes preceded by a 

 pale band. Hind tibite yellow above, and blackish below, or uniform 

 reddish, as well as the tarsi. Tegmina dull red, with whitish reticu- 

 lations; costal area darker. Hind wings red, with red nervures, and 

 subhyaline, especially towards the extremity.

 regards the pattern of the head and j)ronotum, to E.
