This is an aberrant member of the series, bearing no close resem- 

 blance to any other species, excepting that in the unusual and striking 

 markings of the hind femora it almost exactly repeats those of M. 

 femur-nigrum, found in the same place at the same time. Its male 

 cerci are uncommonly short and broad for a species in this series. 



Melanopliis phoetaliotiformis sp. nov. 



Plate VII., Figure 9. 



Of medium size, rather elongate, fusco-testaceous, paler and often 

 much paler beneatii. Head rather prominent, plumbeous or fusco- 

 plunibeous, more or le.ss mottled with testaceous, above fuscous with 

 two diverging and enlarging, sometimes obsolete, testaceous stripes, 

 followed on either side below by a piceous postocular band ; vertex 

 very gently tumid, scarcely elevated above tlie pronotum, the inter- 

 space between the eyes nearly {d^ or a little more than (V ) twice as 

 wide as the first antennal joint ; fastigium pretty strongly declivent, 

 somewhat sulcate, especially in the male ; frontal coita fjding before 

 the clypeus, enlarging feebly in passing downward (c?) or consider- 

 ably contracted above (? ), at the ocellus scarcely sulcate, distinctly 

 narrower than the interspace between the eyes, sparsely punctate 

 throughout ; eyes of moderate size, a little prominent in the male, dis- 

 tinctly longer, especially in the male, than the infraocular portion of 

 the genae ; antennae luteo-castaneous or rufous, slightly infuscated ap- 

 ically, about three-fourths (cJ*) or a little more than half ( 9 ) as long 

 as the hind femora. Pronotum subequal but slightly enlarging both 

 anteriorly and posteriorly, above fusco-testaceous with a plumbeous 

 tinge, on the sides pallid testaceous, below more or less deeply tinged 

 with ulumbeous, with a plumbeo-piceous postocular band on the pro- 

 zona, rarely edged above with dull testaceous, the disk gently convex 

 and passing without angulation but only a rounded shoulder into the 

 subvertical lateral lobes, which are slightly tumid on the prozona ; 

 median carina tolerably distinct, percurrent, subequal, but a trifle 

 more pronounced on the metazona ; front margin subtruncate, hind 

 margin feebly convex; prozona distinctly longitudinal (d^) or longi-
