Descriptions of Indian Acridide. 503 
General coloration brownish olive-green. Antennz black, 
brownish basally. Face reddish brown. Pronotal disc 
blackish. Elytra brownish, except the basal part, which 
is olivaceous; fore and hind margins with irregular and 
scarcely distinct small darker marginal spots. Wings in- 
fumate apically, with veins brownish. Hind femora yellow 
externally, with base and two transverse fasciz shining 
black ; lower outer sulcus black, with yellow preapical ring ; 
inner side red with a black preapical ring, followed by 
yellow one; upperside yellow, with base, two fascie, and 
spinules along the upper carina black ; knees brown, reddish 
beneath. Hind tibie red, with tips of spines black. 
40. Hucoptacra saturata, Walk. 
Chundwara, Centr. Prov., iii. 1907, 1¢,19. 
There is no doubt that saturata, Walk., is conspecific with 
strigifer, Walk., but I am not sure whether obliterans, Walk. 
(=sinensis, Walk.), belongs to the same species, since the 
shape of the male supra-anal plate is not quite identical in 
the type-specimens ; I think, therefore, that the synonymy 
suggested by I. Bolivar (/. c. p. 404) cannot be accepted with- 
out further study of the genus, with an examination of all 
types of Stal and Walker, as well as of large series of fresh 
specimens, which are not at my disposal at present. 
41, Eucoptacra binghamt, sp. u. 
3. Distinctly larger than E. saturata, Walk. Antenne 
half as long again as head and pronotum, feebly flattened 
and dilated beyond the middle, attenuate apically. Head 
rugulose; frontal ridge flat, impresso-punctate, gradually 
narrowing towards clypeus, not reaching the latter, between 
antennze three times as broad as vertex between eyes. 
Fastigium of vertex convex, strongly punctate, with sides 
convex, without distinct foveolz, between eyes sulcate and 
bicarinate. Pronotum compressed laterally, rugulose, ob- 
tusely tectiform ; median carina low, smooth, intersected by 
three sulci; metazona about as long as prozona, acutely 
angulate behind ; lateral lobes with lower margin strongly 
sinuate ; fore angle of lobes about 90°, not rounded. Elytra 
extending behind the knees, subparallel, obliquely truncate 
apically, with an oblique, narrow, callous fascia, formed by 
irregular venules, about the middle; this fascia divides the 
elytron into two parts, the basal part being more densely 
and irregularly venulated than the apical, the cells of which 
are all uniform, elongate. Hind femora serrulate along the
