side red ; outer median area glaucous-white, the upper and sometimes 

 the lower bounding carinre spotted with black ; central area glaucous- 

 white, the angulated lines yellowish, with about six ill-defined 

 blackish dots on each. Hind tibice and tarsi red ; tibite rather hairy, 

 with about seven black-tipped spines on each carina.

A very distinct species. Described from seven specimens 

 from Pretoria, one from Pemba Island, and one from Water- 

 berg ; the last is rather darker-coloured than the others. 

 There are also four specimens from Zomba in Mr. Distant's 

 and the British Museum Collection, which differ in their 

 generally darker colour ; the upper black stripe on the 

 sides of the pronotum extends more or less distinctly to 

 the front, and sometimes backwards to the hinder extremity 

 of the pronotum ; the black markings on the upper surface 

 of the hind femora are more clearly defined, and the middle 

 area on the outer side is sometimes suffused with black ; 

 and the pleura and abdomen are more or less varied with 

 black. In one specimen the hind tibiae are vinaceous, with 

 traces of one or two yellowish bands towards the base, not 

 extending to the upper surface. But Orthoptcra are so 

 liable to change colour more or less after death that I do 

 not consider these differences of sufficient importance to 

 indicate even a well-marked local form. 



In one specimen from Pretoria the pronotum is dark 

 brown above on the sides, as far as the lateral carinse, and 

 reddish along the central carina; and in the Pemba Island 

 specimen, the pronotum is reddish-testaceous above, and 

 though the front part is blackish, the black is not 

 symmetrical, and appears to be due to accidental dis- 

 coloration.
