 S. fnrcata furcata. (Brunner). 



Sub-family Stenopelmatinae. 



The members of this sub-family are commonly known as stone, or camel crickets, 

 and so far as is known only one genus has been found in Nova Scotia. This is charac- 

 terized as follows: 



Ceuthophilus. (Scudder.) 



This genus contains only wingless Locustidae medium or large in size with a thick 

 heavy body, back well arched. Head rather large oval in shape; deflexed. Antennae 

 long, slender and many jointed; eyes somewhat pear-shaped and placed close to the 

 basal joint of the antennae and a little above them; maxillary palp long, the distal joint 

 curved and grooved along the underside for nearly its entire length; it is almost equal in 

 length to the two preceding ones together. Pronotum short; prosternum unarmed. 

 Hind femora thick, heavy and turned inward at the base. Under surface grooved, 

 with the carina serrate or spined in the males, seldom arriTed in the females. Ovipositor 

 well developed consisting of four somewhat flattened plates; inner ones serrate at distal 

 end. Cerci of both sexes long, slender and somewhat hairy. No trace of musical or 

 auditory organs present.
