South African Grasshoppers. 541 
area extending a little beyond the apex of the scapular area, 
in the apical half dilated and parallel, with sparse transverse 
veinlets ; discoidal area rather broad, extending over the 
basal two-thirds of elytra, almost parallel-sided, only slightly 
narrowed and recurved apically, sparsely reticulate, with 
one row of irregular cells ; interulnar area distinctly more 
narrow than the discoidal area, sparsely but irregularly 
reticulate, with only one row of cells; the apical part of 
elytra very sparsely reticulate. 
General coloration pale greyish buff. Head with a very 
feeble greyish longitudinal fascia above, and with broad, 
shining, black, postocular fascize widened posteriorly. Pro- 
notum unicolorous on the upper side ; lateral lobes velvety- 
castaneous in the upper half and of the general colour 
below, the boundary between the two colours being very 
indefinite ; the callosities on the lateral lobes are pale. 
Elytra hyaline, with the veins ochraceous; the discoidal 
area with indefinite and scarcely distinct grey spots. Wings 
infumate at the apex. Front and middle legs ochraceous 
with several indistinct grey bands. Hind femora with two 
oblique grey fasciz on the upper side, extending on to the 
inside as well; the outer face of the general colour, with a 
few grey streaks along the lower margin ; the knees greyish 
brown. Hind tibiz pale greyish, with the spines brown 
apically. Abdomen yellowish beneath and slightly rufous 
on the sides. 
? (paratype). Differs from the male in the following 
characters :—Antennez not reaching the hind margin of the 
pronotum. Frontal ridge below the ocellum scarcely sulcate, 
punctured. LElytra with the scapular area less widened than 
in the male, but regularly reticulate; the discoidal and 
interulnar areas subequal in width, sparsely reticulate, with 
two rows of cells, separated by irregular false veins. General 
coloration paler, and therefore the markings on the lateral 
lobes of the pronotum are better defined. Hind tibiz 
greyish. Abdomen not rufous on the sides.
