112 Dr. B. P. Uvarov’s Notes on the 
plorans, while in ibandana and its subspecies transverse 
veins, especially in axillar and discoidal fields, are sparse. 
British Museum s pecimens : White Nile, Lake No, Feb. 
1901, 1 3 (L. Loat) (type); Mombasa, 1. 2 (cotype). 
1b. Euprepoenemis plorans meridionalis subsp. nov. 
Differs from the typical (Mediterranean) form in the following 
characters: frontal ridge more convex, scarcely punctured; elytra 
in both sexes not reaching the hind knees; hind femora distinctly 
incrassate basally, with distinct transverse bands on the upper- 
side; general coloration pale fawn, with grey and black markings, 
This subspecies is described from 3 9g and 2 99 from 
Bloemfontein, Orange Free State, 10 ilii—l4 iv. 1918 
(Division of Entomology, Pretoria); it is a quite well- 
defined geographical race. 
2. Euprepoenemis calceata (Serv.). 
839. Acridium calceatum Serville, Hist. Nat. Ins., Orth., 
p- 683, no. 47. 
1870. Heteracris annulifera Walker, Cat. Derm. Salt. B. M., 
iv, pp. 656, 659, no. 9. 
1910. Hfeteracris] calceata Kirby, Syn. Cat. Orth., i, 
p- 555, no, 7. 
I cannot agree with Bolivar (Trab. Mus. Madrid, l.c., 
p. 10), who regards Acridium calceatum Serv., as being 
synonymous with Huprepocnemis bandana Giglio-Tos, since 
the coloration of the hind tibiae and femora in these two 
species is very distinct, and this in #. calceata perfectly 
agrees with the coloration in annulifera. Further, bandana 
is an East (tropical) African species, while calceata is 
originally described from South Africa, whence come all 
the British Museum specimens, including Walker’s type 
of annulifera, 
Since Serville’s and Walker’s descriptions are not satis- 
factory, I give a new description of this species based on 
Walker’s type (female) :— 
Size a little smaller than that of H. plorans Charp. Frontal 
ridge convex, sparsely punctate, slightly narrowed towards the 
fastigium. Impression on the vertex rather deep, rotundato- 
angulate anteriorly, marginal ridges strongly convergent between 
eyes. Pronotum as in plorans. Prosternal tubercle cylindrical, 
obtuse, bent backwards. Interspace between mesosternal lobes
