taneous, margined laterally with flavo-testaceous, 7th tergite more

 lamina trigonal. Sub-genital lamina asymmetrical, margined pos- 

 teriorly with flavo-testaceous, on either side of it a lappet formed 

 by the inflexed margins of the 9th tergite, the lappets are 

 asymmetrical, the left being produced into a dentiform process 

 beset with spiniform setae, the right obliquely truncate ; right style 

 minute, left style stout, covered with long hairs and more or less 

 hidden beneath the lamina. Cerci castaneous, moderate, 9-jointed. 

 Coxae piceous tipped and outwardly marginal with testaceous, femora 

 castaneous or testaceous in basal f and castaneous in apical third , 

 tibiae rufo-castaneous tipped with castaneous, tarsi fuscous, with 

 basal joints rufous ; femoral and tibial spines rufous. Femora 

 moderately armed, front femora armed according to Type A. 



$ . Long-winged form {aethiopica) ; tegmina and wings extending 

 beyond the apex of the abdomen ; tegmina castaneous, outwardly 

 margined with testaceous ; supra-anal lamina trigonal ; apical half 

 of the coxae, basal |- of the femora, the tibiae except at extreme 

 base and apex, testaceous, remainder of legs castaneous. Medium- 

 winged form {circumcincta) ; tegmina lanceolate, castaneous to 

 rufous, together with the wings not extending beyond the 5th 

 abdominal tergite ; fore femora usually piceous, otherwise the legs 

 are coloured as in the long-winged form ; supra-anal lamina 

 occasionally faintly emarginate. Short-winged form (abyssinica) : 

 tegmina quadrate not extending beyond the 1st abdominal tergite, 

 castaneous or rufous ; wings squamiform ; the legs vary in colour 

 from that described for the medium-winged form to testaceous with 

 traces of castaneous markings at bases of coxae and femora.
