apices widely rounded ; wings caudate. Anterior and middle 

 femora distinctly comjjressed, entire, (wider in the male) the inferior 

 carinfe of middle femora distinctly pilose, middle tibice having the 

 carinse little compresseil and distinctly pilose ; posterior femora 

 elongate, having margins entire or minutely serrulate above, the 

 femoral lobes minute ; the three pulvilli of the tirst posterior tarsal 

 articles equal in length and spiculate below ; posterior tibiae fuscous 

 bearing a white annulation behind the knee, and a second smaller 

 ring at the distal third part. Body variably coloured, often greyish 

 or rufo-cinerous variegated with fuscous. 



Entire length of male and female (to end of wings) 11-12 mm.; 

 pronotum 9"5-10 mm. ; posterior femora 4-4'5 mm. 



Three male examples from My.sore, India ; one male with 

 label bearing words "Central India," and a female with 

 simply "India," collected by Heai'sey ; University Museum, 

 Oxford. 



This species is distinguished from pcrsonatus by the 

 lightly sinuate frontal costa, the undidate median carina of 

 pronotum, the more scabrous dorsum, the spiculate pulvilli 

 of the first tarsal articles, the more compressed anterior 

 and middle femora, and the hirsute or pilose inferior carinse 

 of middle femora and the compressed hirsute carinas of 

 middle tibiae.

Three feiuales, two males, and one immature, Nos. 

 10587-10590, 10791, and 3950. Five of this number are 

 from Mombasa, Africa, 12 miles N.W. of Mazeras, 500 it.,

 Poulton to the University Museum, Oxford. No. 3950, is 

 from Natal, Durban, Feb. 11, 1905, collected and presented

Karny has recently described a short-wing form of this 

 species as P. ugandcnsis in Mathem. naturw. Klaase Bd. 

 cxvi, Abt. 1, Feb., p. 26, 1907 ; " Ortlioptorenfauna des 

 Sudans." There is one male specimen long-wing form, 

 No, 4750, in the University Museum, which appears to be 

 a variety of scaler ; it is from Salisbury, 5000 ft., Mashona-
