1913. Ewprepocnemis speciosa Sjéstedt, Ark. Zool., vii 
(6), p. 23, pl. 1, fig. 3.

It is quite possible that H. speciosa is identical with 
H. herbacea Serv., of which only the female was described. 
British Museum specimens: Pt. Natal, 1 3, 2 99; 
S. Africa, 1 g (all labelled by Walker as H. herbacea 
Serv.). 
2. Heteracris acuminata, sp. n. 
1870. Heteracris herbacea Walker, Cat. Derm. Salt. B.M., 
iv, p. 656, no. 3 (partim ?). 
1914. Heteracris herbaceus I. Bolivar, Trab. Mus. Madrid, 
ser. Zool., N 20, p. 21. 
In coloration and all morphological characters quite like 
H. speciosa, the only difference being in the form of the male 
cerci, which are prolonged into very acute long spines. In 
the male cotype this spine is shorter and less acute; in 
the type specimen also the right cercus has this spine shorter 
than the left one. The females are not separable from those 
of H. speciosa. Dimensions of male type are: Length of 
body 27 mm.; of pronotum 6 mm.; of elytra 20 mm.; of 
hind femora 18 mm. One of female cotypes has the follow- 
ing dimensions: Length of body 44 mm.; of pronotum 
8 mm.; of elytra 26 mm.; of hind femora 25 mm. 
The difference in the form of cerci in the two male 
specimens is rather striking, and I should describe them 
as two distinct species but for the fact that nearly the same 
difference may be seen between the right and left cercus of 
the type. It is possible that Bolivar has described this 
species under Heteracris herbacea Bol. (nec Serv.). 
British Museum specimens : Fureka, Barberton (J. Ren- 
dall), 1 3 (type); Natal, March 1867, 1 g (labelled by Walker 
as H. herbacea Serv.); Johannesburg, 1 2; without date, 
1 9 (the three latter are colypes). 
3. Heteracris calliptamoides, sp. n. 
In habitus very like a representative of the Calliptamini, the 
head being rather thick and hind femora short. 
Front strongly reclinate; frontal ridge wide, slightly convex, 
without any trace of sulcus, with sides parallel, disappearing before 
clypeus. Fastigium of vertex in the male type specimen broken
