grown pupa ready for final transformation, were labelled merely 
‘‘May,’’ as were about one-half of the adult specimens. A 
single specimen, a female, was of the green phase of coloration. 
This species superficially resembles the following one, but it 
is really very distinct specifically. Generically it is not so well 
differentiated, though the characters enumerated by the author 
of the genus, Boll. Mus. Torino, vol. rx, No. 184, p. 9 (1894), for 
the separation of these two genera are amply sufficient for the 
purpose, though there is some variation in the width of the 
mesosternal interspace. The antennal length, ete., as used by 
Bruner in Biol. Cent. Amer., Orth., vol. m1, p. 30 (1902) are not 
nearly so diagnostic as those used by Gigilo-Tos, especially the 
more elongate mesosternal interspace, longer head and more 
persistent frontal costa in Orphulina.

Twelve male and seven female specimens of this common and 
widely distributed species were taken on Antigua, labelled dati- 
cally as follows: one male, June; one male and two females, 
June 24; two females, June 26; seven males and three females, 
July; two males, July 1; one female, July 5. 
Three females only are green, all the rest being of the brown 
phase of coloration.

This locust is represented in the collection by a series of nine 
male and eight female adults and two male nymphs which are 
probably this species, all taken on Antigua, one female on June 
21, three pairs on June 24, four males and three females on 
June 26, two males and one female on July 1 and the nymphs 
in June, the day not stated. 
This series shows very little variation. The maculation of the
