the Orthoptera in the British Museum. 123 



This species, again, is very close to S. serapis and may 

 be conspecific with it. The only specimen in the British 

 Miisemn collection is somewhat smaller than it is given in 

 the original description, and I am, therefore, not quite sure 

 in my identification.

4. Sphodromerus sanguiniferus Rehn.

Though Rehn does not mention in his description the 

 coloration of the wings, I do not doubt that two females 

 before me, which have the wings rose with the veins in 

 the fore part brown, belong to his species. Dimensions of 

 the female, which has not been known hitherto, are as 

 follows : — 



Length of body . . . . .29 mm. 



,, ,, pronotum .... 9 

 ,, ,, hind femur .... 18'5 

 „ ,, elytra ..... 12-5

To the genus Sphodromerus belong also the following 

 three species, known to me by their descriptions only : —
