PARALEUAS FOSTERI, new species. 



Like p. IxMsii Gigiio-Tos, the present species has the general 

 appearance of a Stenojjola. It is briinneo-ferruginoiis above, and is 

 provided on the cheeks, lower part of sides of pronotum, and on the 

 pleura with a pale band. 



"While at Victoria, Brazil, several years ago the writer secured, among other mate- 

 rial which he collected there, several specimens of a small locust which is related to 

 the other sjiecies tabulated above. As species of the genus occur over a rather 

 extended range and each may have an extensive distribution, it is thought wise to 

 describe P. minor at this time. 



As shown by the above table, it is most nearly related to the A. punctipe7inis which 

 comes from San Bernardino, from which it differs, however, in its considerably smaller 

 size, its somewhat general paler color, and in the presence of well-defined pale lateral 

 bands on sides of head, lower portion of sides of pronotum, and pleura. While it is 

 provided with the fuscous tegmina maculations, minor is without the dusky bands on 

 the hind femora. In the present species the head of the male is very short and much 

 broader than the front edge of the pronotum, and the tegmina and wings slightly 

 surpass both the apex of the abdomen and the tips of the hind femora. The eyes 

 are unusuallj' large and prominent, so as to give to the head when viewed from in 

 front the ajipearance of being nearly twice as broad above as below. The cheeks 

 below the eyes are less than one-half as long as the greatest diameter of one of them. 

 Hind tibiae colored as in punctipennis, with 8 spines in the outer row. 



Length of body, male, 13, female, 17.5; of pronotum, male, 2.3, female, 2.8; of 

 tegmina, male, 11, female, 12; of hind femora, male, 8.5, female, 9 mm. 



liabitdt. — Victoria, Brazil, during the month of May, both sexes. (Collection of 

 L. Bruner. ) 



The present species does not have the second joint oi the hind tarsi as nearly eijual 

 in length with the first as is the case in punctipennis.
