allous-appendiculate. Subgenital lamina of male broad, trans- 
verse, medially lobed, laterally with style-like appendages. 
Ovipositor always nearly straight, very long and slender. Sub- 
genital lamina of female very transverse. 
Species all Australian. 
I have retained Brunner’s genus, and included some new 
species that appeared to conform to the characters, but doubt 
whether it. can be maintained as more than a subgenus to 
(‘ryllacris, because the main distinctions appertain to the male 
sex alone, which is very inconvenient, it not always being 
possible either to have both sexes handy, or to mate individuals 
correctly, when not caught 7m coitw. Concerning the number of 
spinelets of the hind femora, it has been shown already that they 
are too variable even individually to serve asa reliable guide. 
It is therefore quite possible that some of my species under this 
genus may have to be transferred to Gryllacris upon better 
acquaintance, and vice versa.
