CATALOGUE OF ORTHOPTEROUS INSECTS. 



I have examined and sketched the typical specimen of 

 this species in the Museum at Leyden. It is a female, 

 having the following proportions : — 



Long. Corp. cum operc. unc. 5^ ; cap. lin. 3 ; proth. 

 lin. 3 ; mesoth. lin. 14 ; metath. lin. 8 ; ahdom. lin. 26 + 

 lin. 7+ operc. lin. 8=lin. 4 1 ; tegm. Hu. 5 ; alse long. lin. 6. 



The two tubercles of the head are unequal in size, the 

 right-hand one being the larger. The legs are longer and 

 more slender than those of the Berlin specimen of E. mi- 

 cropterus. The membranous portion of the wings has 

 strongly marked transverse veins. 



8. (225.) Haplopus bituberculatus. 

 Obscure fuscus ; tuberculis capitis obtusis ; mesothorace 



9^'" metiente ; vagina lineari 9'" ultra abdomen producta ; 

 abdominis articulo 6to subparallelo ; elytris 3|'" longis ; 

 pedibus fusco-marmoratis, femorum spinis insequaliter di- 

 stantibus (foem.).

The typical specimen of this species in the Leyden Mu- 

 seum is a female, having the following proportions : — 



Long. Corp. cum operc. unc. tt, lin. 5 ; cap. lin. 2| ; an- 

 ten. liu. 10 ; proth. lin. 2^; mesoth. lin. 9^^; metath. lin. 

 7i ; abdom. lin. 26-|-lin. 9 + operc. liu. 9 = liu. 44 ; tegm. 

 lin. 3^; al» long. lin. 4. 



The legs are shorter and more robust than in the pre- 

 ceding species ; the two tubercles of the head are unequal 

 in size, the right-hand one being the larger. The wings 

 do not extend beyond three-fourths of the length of the 

 metathoras. 



9. (226.) Haplopus pulverulentus. 



Fcem. Brunneo-nigra pulvere albo superinduta ; thorace 

 scaberrimo ; pedibus brevibus, intermediis pauUo dilatatis, 

 femoribus posticis augulatis.

The type of this species is preserved in the National Col- 

 lection. The head is furnished with two large tubercles of 

 unequal size, the right-hand one being larger than the left. 

 The mesothorax has three pairs of spines larger than the 



remainder at its anterior extremity. The wings are very 

 small. Tlie legs short and robust ; the middle femora with 

 a strong spine on the upper side near the extremity ; the 

 sixth abdominal segment is dilated at its sides. 



10. (227.) Haplopus glabricoUis. 



Fcem. Viridis ; mesonoto glabro, margine antico spinis 

 4, lateribus scabris ; tegminibus alisque viridibus ; pedibus 

 brevibus, lineis elevatis striatis, posticis vix augulatis.

I The original type of this species is contained in the 

 Britisli Museum Collection. It is a female, and is wider 

 and more robust than the preceding. The head is armed 

 with one strong tubercle on the right-hand side of the 

 crown, and there are two pairs of small spines in front of 

 the mesonotum. The wings do not extend to the extre- 

 mity of the metanotum ; they are, however, considerably 

 larger than those of the preceding species. The legs are 

 also longer than in that species ; the sixth abdominal seg- 

 ment has the sides roimded and rather dilated. 



11. (228.) Haplopus scabricollis. 



Maris pupa. Flavescens, lateribus fasciis albis interruptis, 

 pro- et mesothorace spinis nigris acutis ; pedibus subtus 

 omnibus augulatis femoribusque spinosis ; tegminibus alis- 

 que rudimentalibus.

I am unable to satisfy myself whether the insect in the 

 Cabinet of the Linnsean Society, described as above by 

 Mr. G. R. Gray as a male pupa, is not in reality a male imago 

 with rudimental tegmina and wings. The specimen whilst 

 living has evidently undergone some accident, as the left 

 hind leg is scarcely more than half an inch long, whilst the 

 right-hand one is longer than the entire abdomen. The 

 head in this specimen, as also in the female, is armed with
