South African Grasshoppers. Tit 
not unlike the genus Chrotogonus, but the position of the 
ocelli and the shape of the prosternum debar it from the 
section Chrotogoni. The armature of the pronotum and 
the shape of the sternum seem to indicate its relationship to 
the section Phymatei, but, again, the sternum has a well- 
developed transverse sulcus at the fore margin, which is not 
the case in Phymatei. It seems, therefore, that a special 
section should be established for this genus, but I prefer to 
abstain from erecting it, since this might be better done in 
a revision of the whole subfamily. In any case, the new 
genus is so peculiar in all its characters that it may be easily 
recognised from the description without an exact indication 
of its systematic position. 
6. Phymella capensis, sp.n. (Fig. 4.) 
g- General coloration yellowish green, with grey design. 
Antenne brown, with two basal joints pale. Face with four 
pale callous tubercles, placed in an arched transverse line 
just below the median ocellus ; margins of the frontal ridge 
with three pairs of dark olive-green streaks in the lower 
part. Fastigium of the vertex blackish, with yellowish 
margins; vertex just behind the transverse sulcus with a 
rather large, laterally compressed tubercle, obtusely tri- 
angular in profile, and with two oblong callosities laterally ; 
between the eyes there is another smaller median tubercle, 
and sideways and a little behind it a pair of more obliquely 
placed compressed tubercles, followed by another pair of 
quite small rounded tubercles nearer to the eyes ; all these 
tubercles are blackish. Pronotum calloso-rugulose through- 
out; only the second and third transverse sulci are well 
developed and deep, while the first is but slightly indicated 
in the middle of the disc; median keel on the prozona un- 
developed, replaced by three blackish tubercles, the first of 
which is larger than the two others; metazona much shorter 
than the prozona, with coarse, though not dense, blackish 
punctures, and with a low straight median keel terminated 
behind by a laterally compressed blackish tubercle ; the 
disc with a pair of high, strongly laterally compressed, 
blackish teeth just before the second sulcus and rather near 
the middle line ; a pair of small conical tubercles at the 
same distance from each other between the second and 
the third sulcus, and a pair of large, laterally compressed, 
obtusely triangular teeth on the sides of the disc, directed 
outwardly ; a pair of laterally compressed blackish tubercles 
on the hind outer angles of the metazona ; the hind margin
