Mancus Series. 



The number of species belonging here has been nearly doubled by 

 the discoveries of the past year, compelling a complete remodelling of 

 the table (Revision, pp. 125-126) of the species of this series. More 

 than one of the species have the apipal margin of the subgenital plate 

 slightly elevated, so that characters drawn from this part will not serve 

 to distinguish it from the Indigens Series, particularly if we are to add 

 to that series the species just described, without apical elevation to its 

 plate. 



TABLE OF THE SPECIES IN THE MANCUS SERIES OF MELANOPLUS. 



ai. Prozona, at least in male, much longer than broad, the disk of the 

 whole pronotum distinctly more than twice as long as middle breadth; in- 

 terspace between mesosternal lobes of male twice or almost twice as long 

 as broad. 



d^. Antenna? of male about two-thirds as long as hind femora; hind mar- 

 gin of pronotum subtruncate or almost subtruncate; cerci of male more 

 or less twisted as well as incurved. 



t'. Hind tibice blue; furcula of male prominent; cerci considerably 

 torqueate, deeply sulcate exteriorly in apical half, which is but little 

 narrower than the basal half, and not bent upward; apical margin of 

 subgenital plate slighly elevated, well rounded as seen from above 



varicus sp. nov. 

 c2. Hind tibia? red; furcula of male slight; cerci only slightly torqueate 

 and shallowly sulcate, the apical half much narrower than the basal, 

 and bent upward; apical margin of subgenital plate not elevated, angu- 

 late as seen from above h?miunis sp. nov. 



^2. Antennee of male five-sixths as long as hind femora; hind margin of 

 pronotum distinctly obtusangulate; cerci of male throughout in nearly 

 one obliquely vertical plane, though incurved scudderi Uhler 



aa. Prozona, even in male, transverse, subquadrate or slightly longitudinal, 

 the disk of the whole pronotum less than twice as long as middle breadth; 

 mterspace between mesosternal lobes of male not or scarcely more than 

 half as long again as broad. 



b^. Male cerci of subequal width, the apical being scarcely narrower than 

 the basal half. 



c^. Male abdomen strongly recurved; forks of furcula di\ergent, dis-
