P. pictibs, sp. nov. (Plate XLIX, figs. 5 and 5«.) 
Body small, coloured fuscous and light variegated. Head not ex- 
serted, dorsum above little rugose-granulate ; vertex little narrower 
than one of the eyes, little narrowed toward the front, viewed from 
above not produced beyond the eyes ; frontal costa in profile slightly 
projecting beyond the eyes above, but between the antennae subar- 
cuate; between the eyes indistinctly sinuate, the lateral rami 
moderately separated ; antennae inserted between the lower angles 
of the eyes ; eyes in profile subconoidal, the occiput covered. Pro- 
notum anteriorly truncate, between the shoulders convex, little 
widened, posterior process subulate, extended beyond the femoral 
apices behind ; anterior prozonal carinae very short, quite widely 
separated and parallel; median carina marked with fuscous, little 
compressed percurrent, subgibbulose near the front margin; posterior 
angles of the lateral lobes rather obliquely excised. Elytra ovate; 
wings caudate and black. Femora elongate, little compressed, 
margins entire and sparingly pilose ; middle femora in male nar¬ 
rowed toward the apices ; posterior femora elongate, margins minutely 
serrulate, antegenicular and genicular denticles prominent ; posterior 
tibiae black with white annulation behind the knees and marked 
with white at the distal third ; second and third posterior tarsal 
pulvilli subequal in length. 
Entire length of body, ^ 9-6 mm ; pronotum, 8 mm. ; posterior 
femora, 4 mm. 
One example, No. 2158, from N.E. Rhodesia, Mporokosa, 
4500 ft., August 31,1908, collected and presented to Oxford 
University Museum by S. A. Neave. This species is 
nearly allied to wilverthi, Bolivar, differing in being more 
rugose, smaller in stature, in not being depressed behind 
the shoulders on the dorsum, and in the less depressed 
median carina behind the anterior border. It also differs 
in the equal length of the second and third posterior tarsal 
articles.

As I interpret the African genus Prototettix, Boh, there
