NICARAGUAN ORTIIOPTERA. 5c 



30. SCHISTOCERCA Sp. 



Some specimens of a Iar<j:e, undetermined locust belong in 

 this genus. It occurs over the greater portion of Central 

 America and the warmer parts of Mexico. Like our Schisto- 

 cerca aiiicn'caua. it also occasionally becomes sufficiently 

 numerous to commit injury to growing crops. 



I wish to take this opportunity to say that in America we 

 do not have a single species of the genus Acrid/'iDU, and that 

 all the species that have been placed in this genus by writers 

 on American forms will have to be removed to Schistoccrca, 

 and perhaps one or two other genera. Very likely it will 

 become necessary to erect one or two new genera for the 

 reception of some of the forms. 



31. OSMILIA FLAVO-MNEATA Z^^C^dTr. (?) 



There are several specimens of a locust that has been 

 determined doubtfully as belonging here. They were col- 

 lected in the vicinity of Castillo. This same species, how- 

 ever, occurs much farther northward in Mexico, where the 

 writer has taken it in the vicinity of Orizaba, Cordova, and 

 near Vera Cruz. 



Fam. LOCUSTID^. 



32. HOR.AIILIA TOLTECA SatfSS. 



Two female specimens of a kat3did that I determine as this 

 insect were collected near Castillo. 



33. HORMILIA FASCIATA Ih-U)llicr . 



A second species of Ilonnilia that seems to belong here 

 was collected in the same localit^•. and at the same time with 

 the preceding. 



34. HORMILIA GRACIEI.IMA BniUUCl'. 



I find still a third species of this genus from the same local- 

 ity, and refer it to Bi^unner's gracilliuia on account of its very 

 graceful form.
