Descriptions of Indian Acridide. ADL 
beneath. Hind tarsi long; third joint as long as two basal 
joints together, second subequal to one-third of the first ; 
claws as long as the second joint, with basal dilatation ; 
pulvilli absent. Male supra-anal plate longer than its basal 
width, convex, with broad shallow median sulcus in the 
basal half and two oblique transverse curved carine, 
running from the hind angles to the sides of the median 
suleus; cerci slightly longer than supra-anal plate, cylin- 
drical in basal half, gradually narrowing apically, with 
obtuse, feebly incurved tips ; subgenital plate obtuse, longer 
_ than wide. Supra-anal plate of female triangular, longer 
than wide, with apex very widely rotundate, almost truncate; 
cerci short, compressed, triangular; upper valves of ovi- 
positor rather long, strongly recurved; lower valves armed 
with very strong, obtuse basal tooth ; subgenital plate very 
elongate. 
Genotype: Pusa levis, sp. n. 
This new genus in its general facies somewhat recalls 
Sphingonotus, if seen from above, but in profile it looks very 
unlike any other genus of Locustinz, owing to its very 
obliquely sloping face. ‘This latter character, as well as the 
venation of the elytra, seems to indicate its position amongst 
the Acridinz, and not in the Locustine, but the stracture of 
the sternum and pronotum agrees better with Locustine. In 
fact, the characters of the genus Lerina, Bol., and this new 
one make it very difficult to draw a line between these two 
subfamilies. 
28. Pusa levis, sp. nu. 
do. Antenne longer than head and pronotum together. 
Face smooth, impunctate ; frontal ridge suleate and parallel 
between fastigium and ocellum, with the carine scarcely 
perceptible and very strongly divergent below the ocellum, 
not reaching the clypeus; fastigium longer than wide, with 
its-sides parallel. Pronotum only feebly constricted anteriorly; 
metazona almost flat, scarcely raised above the prozona. 
Elytra extending well beyond hind kness. Face and body 
covered with sparse hairs. 
General coloration buff. A pale stripe runs from the face 
along the lower part of cheeks, lateral lobes of pronotum, and 
pleure ; another blackish stripe runs above the pale one, 
gradually fading upwards. Head and pronotum above with 
indefinite brownish marmoration. FElytra with radial veins 
and rows of feeble spots in scapular and discoidal areas 
brown ; a few scarcely perceptible grey spots in cells of the
