  The 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  insect 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  represented 
  in 
  the 
  material 
  

   before 
  me 
  appear 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  preserved 
  in 
  spirits 
  which 
  have 
  left 
  

   left 
  them 
  rather 
  uniformly 
  dark 
  vinacequs 
  in 
  color. 
  In 
  life 
  they 
  

   were 
  possibly 
  olivaceous, 
  with 
  the 
  tegniina 
  flavous 
  and 
  the 
  tibiae 
  

   tinged 
  with 
  red. 
  No 
  indications 
  remain 
  of 
  a 
  possible 
  paler 
  lower 
  

   border 
  on 
  the 
  lateral 
  lobes 
  of 
  the 
  pronotum 
  which 
  are 
  strongly 
  so 
  

   marked 
  in 
  the 
  species 
  aptera.

  Habitat. 
  — 
  Three 
  specimens, 
  females, 
  are 
  at 
  hand 
  from 
  Pampaconas 
  

   Kiver, 
  Peru. 
  They 
  were 
  taken 
  during 
  August.

  PROCTOLABUS 
  BULLATUS 
  Rehn. 
  

  

  There 
  is 
  a 
  male 
  specimen 
  of 
  Proctolabus 
  contained 
  in 
  the 
  material 
  

   taken 
  at 
  Paltaybamba 
  on 
  August 
  27. 
  Although 
  collected 
  in 
  spirits 
  

   it 
  still 
  shows 
  the 
  characteristic 
  color 
  patterns. 
  Its 
  antennae 
  are 
  long 
  

   and 
  slender, 
  being 
  distinctly 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  slender 
  hind 
  femora. 
  

   The 
  latter 
  are 
  olive 
  green 
  with 
  an 
  infuscated 
  genicular 
  area, 
  and 
  the 
  

   hind 
  tibiae 
  are 
  reddish 
  with 
  6 
  to 
  8 
  spines 
  in 
  the 
  outer 
  row. 
  The 
  cerci 
  

   are 
  a 
  trifle 
  heavier 
  at 
  the 
  point 
  where 
  they 
  bend 
  upward 
  than 
  shown 
  

   in 
  Rehn's 
  figure.^ 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  barely 
  possible 
  that 
  the 
  insect 
  described 
  by 
  the 
  present 
  

   writer 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Poecilocloeus 
  omatus- 
  is 
  the 
  other 
  sex 
  of 
  

   this 
  species. 
  The 
  pallid 
  apical 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  of 
  that 
  insect 
  

   would 
  seem, 
  however, 
  sufficient 
  ground 
  to 
  preclude 
  such 
  a 
  surmise, 
  

   as 
  would 
  also 
  the 
  difference 
  in 
  the 
  arrangement 
  of 
  the 
  thoracic 
  

   orange 
  markings. 
  

  

  PARALEUAS 
  MINOR 
  Bruner. 
  

  

  On 
  August 
  6, 
  1911, 
  a 
  single 
  male 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  small 
  locust 
  

   was 
  secured. 
  It 
  bears 
  the 
  locality 
  label 
  ''Paltaybamba" 
  and 
  also 
  

   5,000 
  feet. 
  

  

  DICHROPLUS 
  PERUVIANUS 
  AURIVENTRIS, 
  new 
  variety. 
  

  

  Specimens 
  of 
  a 
  Dichroplus 
  are 
  at 
  hand 
  from 
  several 
  localities 
  in 
  the 
  

   Peruvian 
  Andes 
  that 
  come 
  quite 
  close 
  to 
  D. 
  peruvianus, 
  but 
  wliich 
  are 
  

   sufficiently 
  distinct 
  in 
  several 
  respects 
  to 
  constitute 
  a 
  separate 
  or 
  

   distinct 
  variety. 
  Only 
  one 
  of 
  these 
  is 
  in 
  color, 
  the 
  others 
  having 
  

   been 
  immersed 
  in 
  spirits 
  for 
  longer 
  or 
  shorter 
  periods. 
  The 
  male 
  

   under 
  consideration 
  has 
  the 
  venter 
  and 
  anal 
  segments 
  of 
  the 
  abdomen 
  

   brightly 
  tinged 
  with 
  orange, 
  and 
  the 
  sexual 
  characters 
  are 
  simpler 
  

   than 
  in 
  typical 
  peruvianus. 
  The 
  cerci 
  are 
  slenderer 
  and 
  not 
  spatulate 
  

   at 
  the 
  apex 
  as 
  there, 
  but 
  slightly 
  flattened, 
  acuminate, 
  and 
  bent 
  

   inwards 
  instead 
  of 
  gently 
  sulcaft 
  externally 
  and 
  directed 
  upwards.
