21. Metaletta (Trvxalis) notociiloris Pal. Jieaiiv. 



Several specimens of a locust taken in the vicinity of Grey- 

 town are referred to Tryxal/s iwtocMoris of Palisot de Beau- 

 vois. The generic name Tryxalis has recently been limited 

 to Old World species, and the name Mctalefta proposed for 

 American forms that formerly were placed here. (See Brun- 

 ner Wattenw^'l's Syst. ()r/Iiopf.) 



22. Orpiiuea tepanica Saiiss. 



Several specimens of what appears to be Stcnobulhnis 

 tcf aniens o| Saussure are among the materials taken at Grey- 

 town. This, as well as a number of other American insects 

 formerly classed in the genus Stcnobothnis, have been referred 

 to the genus Orfhiila of Stal by Brunner in his Revisio. 

 Henceforth our species of Stenohothnis should be placed in 

 the genus Or-phula.
