 cincticollis and reductus) the types of which are lost, cannot 

 be determined. 



1. Euryphymus haematopiis (L.). 

 (Plate I, fig. 13.) 



I believe it superfluous to repeat here the synonymy of 

 this species, quite correctly given by Kirby (Syn. Cat. 

 Orth., iii, p. 546, no. 14). 



The species reminds us very much of the Tmethis muricatus 

 Pall, and is also extremely variable in the general colora- 

 tion, as well as to a certain extent in the degree of develop- 

 ment of rugosities and tubercles on the head and pro- 

 notum. The males are strikingly different from the females 

 in the size, but there is no doubt as to their identity. The 

 coloration of the inside of hind femora is, in all specimens 

 studied by me, black except a narrow stripe along the 

 upper margin and a preapical ring, which are either bright red 

 or orange-red, as the hind tibiae also are. The dimensions 

 of both sexes are as follows : —

* Kirby (Syn. Oat. Orth., iii, p. 547, no. 27) marked E. exemptus 

 Walk, with two asterisks, meaning that its type is in the British 

 Museum; but the msect under this name is a Caloptenopsis, and 

 does not agree at all with Walker's description of Acridnim exemptum.
