On South African Grasshoppers. 539 
LXII.—On some new or little-known South African Grass- 
hoppers of the Subfamily Acridine (Orthoptera). By 
B. P. Uvarov, F.E.S., Assistant Entomologist, Imperial 
Bureau of Entomology. 
Turs is the third paper of the series*, based on the collection 
sent to the Imperial Bureau of Entomology by the Division 
of Entomology, Pretoria, and by Prof. J. C. Faure. The 
types of all species described are in the British Museum, and 
paratypes preserved in the collectious of the said Division 
and of the Transvaal University College. 
I see no reason whatever to call the subfamily Truxaline, 
as the name 7ruxalis is not used now, being a pure synonym 
of Acrida.

It is quite obvious from Karny’s description of Para- 
-gymnobothrus rectus, which should be considered as the 
type-species of the genus, that the latter belongs not to the 
section Phleob, where I. Bolivar (Trab. Mus. Nac. Madrid, 
ser. Zool., No. 20, p. 73, 1914) has placed it, but to the 
Chrysochraontes (I. Bolivar, J.c. p. 61), since the elytra in 
Paragymnobothrus rectus have the scapular area dilated 
(“area costali et preecostali in utroque sexu sat dilatatis,” 
Karny, /.c.). The study of the specimens now before me, 
which agree perfectly with Karny’s description and un- 
doubtedly belong to his P. rectus, shows also that the lower 
margin of the lateral lobes of pronotum is strongly sinuate, 
which again indicates that the genus belongs to Chryso- 
chraontes. In this section it comes near to Leva, Bol., 
having the temporal foveole only incompletely marginated 
from below, and, in fact, the relationship of Paragymno- 
bothrus to Leva is so close that I think it would be quite 
correct to unite them, the more so that, in the two more new 
South African species described below, the relationship to 
the Indian representatives of the genus Leva is still closer 
than in Leva recta, Karny.
